Nicholas Hill Gardening

Pruning of shrubs and a general tidy up plus small fence repair.

Work well completed and left very tidy.

Nick & Mark did a marvellous job repairing and extending our wooden garden fence. They also removed a tree that had been growing near the house for over 50 years. Also a bush was removed.

We would certainly recommend them for garden work.

Nick did a great job and we are very happy with all aspects of his service. He was helpful, prompt and tidy. I would absolutely recommend him for any garden work.

Highly recommend Nick’s services!

Nick and his colleague undertook replacement of a large wooden gate post that had broken near the base. They arrived at the site at time specified, completed the work as agreed, removed the old concreted post, tidied up the site as well as fitting new hinges to the wooden gate.

All good.

This company was hired to provide garden maintenance initially lawn mowing and weed removal and hedge trimming. However, the quote for weed removal was not included in the final quote, so that lawn mowing and hedge trimming were the services provided. I selected this company based in large part on the glowing reviews I read here. In fact the service I received in no way reflected the experience of the many reviews. Tasks I requested to be done in the initial meeting with Nick were not being done unless I pointed them out to Nick, they then might be done at the next visit then not again. I asked that Nick inform me when when he arrived for each visit this was done only twice and both times as he was leaving. A lounger that was moved was not returned to its usual place with the result that during a rainstorm that particular evening it fell over and flattened a lavender bed. A tall hedge was clipped at the end of June, was so badly done that in places looks as though it was never done and I will have to clip it once more. This was an appalling experience.

Nick is polite, does a good job for a reasonable price and turns up when he says he will - highly recommend! He's done a garden tidy up a few times now, very happy with his work.

Hedge cutting and removal of bush. Trimming of a bush. Tidying up. Nick Hill's work is excellent. He is reliable and I thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking for garden work.

I have been using this company regularly for around 6 years and prior to that every now and again for one-off jobs like shrub clearing. In the last 6 years they have carried out grass cutting, laying new turf, trimming shrubs,
spreading mulch over borders, applying weedkiller where necessary,
erecting new fence posts and recently scarifying my grass and applying a moss killer. Communication is excellent. My late mother also used them for many years. I am very happy with Nicholas Hill Gardening.

I had nothing short of a jungle at the front / street side of my flat. Some of it was very awkward, dense and extremely jagged type of stuff.
The two guys came at the time they said they would and set about it. They chopped down everything we had agreed when Nick was doing the estimate. They removed all the stuff to their vans and trailers for going to the dump and cleaned up all the small loose stuff as well. They put in a near 3 hour non stop graft. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I would DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone for gardening work.
Thank you lads for a very professional job.
P.S. The only downside was that I have full length , wide, glass windows and with the “ jungle “ gone it showed up just how dirty the windows were! They hadn’t been washed for a long time. I did them all the day after the gardening job.

Grass cutting, areas of turf laid, shrub removal, application of weedkiller, soil improver, new fence posts.

I have used Nicholas Hill Gardening for round 5 years. My late mother also used this firm. I have always been happy with the work carried out and Nick is a pleasant and helpful gardener.

Replaced lawn with membrane and gravel. Really tidy speedy job done.

Nick has been cutting the grass in my garden on a regular schedule this year. He is incredibly reliable and does a great job. I'd highly recommend his services.

He we are again reviewing the excellent work carried out again by Nick Hill.

We had a slightly complex replacement fence issue and the requirement to replace a garden gate as well. Nick assesed what was required. He provided me with a comprehensive quotation and carried out the works to my entire satisfaction.

I have no hesitation in recommending Nick or engaging his professional services in the future.

Old broken path removed and replaced with new slabs and drainage. The new path looks good and after a return visit to fix a slight drainage issue the path is draining well. Nick turned up when he said he would has always responded promptly to enquiries.

Pruning of two plum trees and a hypericum bush.

The two guys from Nicholas Hill Garden Construction did a good job. Quick, quiet, tidy, skilled; everything you'd want from a garden service. Followed our COVID-19 related requests faultlessly.

Price was fair rather than 'cheap', hence the 4 stars rather than 5. But happy to pay for quality service.

I have used Nicholas for my elderly mother’s garden several times over the last three years. His work and helpfulness has been outstanding and he is willing and trustworthy.
I have no hesitation in recommending his company.

My mother and I have known Nick for over fifteen years. We first used his services at my Mother's large garden house in Colinton. Nick kept the garden under control for her.

When she down sized to her house in Fairmilehead straight away we engaged Nick to bring the tired garden under control. We also had areas of work that required his input and action. This included removing an old tree and replacing a dangerous shared fence between neighbours.

We have continued to use Nick over the years and we regard him as "Best in Class" for the quality of work and affordability.

The most recent scope of work was to widen a tight driveway by moving a section of garden wall using matching materials to our entire satisfaction.

I have no hesitation in recommending Nick and his team for any garden design, repairs or maintenance.

Repairs to garage path; complete clearance of border at side of garage path, new top soil supplied and laid, slabs laid in border.
This is the second time I have used Nicholas Hill, and I find him, and his men, reliable and effective. I will certainly use his firm again when need arises, and would recommend him for any similar work.

This is the second job Nick has done for me. He landscaped my front garden a few years ago and I was, and still am, delighted with it so when I wanted work done in my back garden I went to Nick again. Once more very happy. He is friendly and efficient and has done just what I wanted. No trouble, no mess and a great result.
