Deanna - Image 1 "I’ve waited a long time to get my garden how I really wanted it. Ben and Mark worked tirelessly every day from 7.30 until well past dark to make sure the job was finished. Not even stopping for lunch!!! I can now enjoy my garden every day as having chickens and dogs mean you are in the garden whatever the weather. I now have a path up to the shed, so no more wellies in winter to collect eggs. Highly recommend Ark Landscapes, I now have my dream garden."

"We have been using Ben of Ark to lop, top and maintain our trees and bushes for the last 5 years. They always do an excellent job and tidy the garden when the work is completed, removing all the branches, leaves and debris. Can 💯 recommend."
