Puzzled Monkey Ltd T/A Spruce Garden Services

I had Spruce come again prior to the winter to do a garden tidy up. This includes weeding, borders, planter prune and clear out, grass cut and a general winter ready service. My garden is not large but I have zero green fingers so having the team come for a few hours is well worth it. The team are always helpful, do the job with a smile (in all weathers) and leave the garden spotless/looking great. They will also suggest what could be done to improve or try something a bit different. Would recommend to anyone looking for garden services.

Excellent Pre-Winter Garden Maintenance Service

I hire them every year to prepare my garden for the winter, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial quote to the completion of the work, the team was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you

I had a front and back garden tidy up, a patio laid, removal of trellis covered in very thick ivy and a new fence erected in its place and finally back garden borders widened and shaped. All work was undertaken between March 25 - Nov 25. I am delighted with all the work undertaken.

All the staff were marvellous, patient and very hardworking I would have no hesitation in recommending them and I hope to use them again.

A big thank you to Willie, Neil who laid my beautiful patio and erected the fence, to Nathan, Kane and Callum who did the gardening and finally to Amy and Bev in the office. Off course Craig who spent time with me to listen to what I wanted.

My front garden was in need of a really good tidy up, Kane & Sean were here on day one and both worked extremely hard to clean up my garden it looked amazing, day 2 they were back and finished the job. I’m now getting my garden maintained by Spruce Garden services in the coming months. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants hard working knowledgeable gardeners.

Spruce Garden Services / Puzzled Monkey did a full garden refurbishment for us. Laid patio tiles, installed seven raised beds and re-turfed front and rear. Sam and his team were hard working, professional and did their work to a high standard with great attention to detail. Happy to recommend their services and we would certainly use them again.

Had Autumn tidy up done yesterday, absolutely delighted. They did a power of work, it would have taken me months!
Attention to detail and amazing finish and clean up were second to none. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

I had a hedge (forsythia) removed, old fence posts removed, a very overgrown border (jasmine) cleared ready for planting and a huge bay tree brought back under control.
Nathan & Gregor arrived promptly and discussed the job professionally. They did the work to a high standard and left my garden very neat and tidy. The bay tree was left looking really good. Everything was taken away and the area swept and the garden was tidied up. And the work was completed in a day.
I would recommend this company and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Had both front and rear garden cleared and tidied. Rear garden especially had been neglected and required some major weeding, cutting, pruning, clearing, patio clearance etc. The team of Kane, Gregor and Robbie (working over two days) were excellent - hard working, efficient, motivated and very happy to answer any queries I had and/or give advice on how best to progress.

Would recommend these guys and use Spruce again. Office staff were also very easily contactable and efficient keeping me up to date with timings/progress etc.

Great job done without any fuss.

Fence. Wasn’t cheap but work done to a quality standard.

Outstanding from start to finish.

Spruce/Puzzled monkey installed our driveway and finished a patio and lawn that a previous contractor failed to do due to major issues they (the previous contractor) had created. Due to the issues we had with a previous landscaping contractor, we kept an eye on the work Spruce/Puzzled Monkey were doing. We quickly came to realise that we had no need for concern.

Craig did the initial site visit where we discussed options and possible solutions.

Willie (site manager) followed up shortly before the works were due to start to double check what was agreed. He also made a couple of good suggestions on improvements to the driveway bin storage area.

The team turned up led by Sam who was outstanding, and clearly very knowledgeable. Sam, each day, kept us updated on what they planned to do, and was able to answer any questions we had. All team members were respectful, professional and hardworking, so our thanks also go to Neil, Zander (apprentice) and others.

Crucially, Sam took sufficient time to think through solutions to drainage from the driveway where the four borders needed to be at different heights. Drainage goes into a soakaway they installed in the ground, complying with Scottish Government regulations and guidance.

Spruce also liaised with a Blacksmith we contracted in order that posts for the driveway gates could be put in accurately at the correct time, so as not to adversely affect the overall appearance of the drive.

We now have a new driveway, small patio and lawn area with stepping stones, all of which are great. 10/10 guys! We would definitely recommend Spruce Garden Services/Puzzled Monkey.

Excellent service and work completed. Staff were friendly and helpful at all points. Job done to an excellent standard and would happily recomend and have back to do more work.

I just had annual maintenance work done and have used Spruce Garden Services for a few years. The work is carried out to a high standard and all the workers are very respectful and professional. I am delighted with the result.

Professional in all aspects of this gardening work. From original quote, to arranging a suitable date, to arriving on time, checking on work to be completed through to fine job and excellent clearing up, we were delighted with all members of the Spruce team. Coupled this with an efficient, friendly and cheery office team, we couldn't recommend this company highly enough.

Work was performed to remove three leylandii hedges recently. The approach taken was to not just cut the trees and perform a simply stump grinding activity but to dig out the entire root ball by hand for each hedge. This has the advantage that it leaves the us greater flexibility over how to use the ground in future. This team are 100% not afraid of hard work!

I had a lot of garden maintenance - mainly hedge trimming and cutting down height on bushes. It ending up taking two men two full working days. I was very pleased with the result and the garden is looking great now. I was particularly pleased with the way that Nathan led and conducted the work on the second day - weeding and tidying that went beyond the 'brief'. Clearly, his professional pride and work ethic motivates him to do the best possible job. My only reason for four rather than five stars was the sharp increase in price from the previous year (although I knew about this in advance from the quotation given). Admittedly there was slightly more work than in 2024, but the price had more than doubled. A lot of things have got more expensive, so I accept this is now just the current rate. But, overall, excellent work.

Garden tidy up and tackle large privet hedge, small garden but needs a lot of attention and agility to get at the hedge and other shrubs. They do a fine job and always leave it neat, tidy and take away all the rubbish. Highly recommended

The gardeners Nathan, Jay and Kaden did a brilliant job transferring my overgrown garden. They even restored an area that had not seen light of day for some time. They were a friendly, professional team and their work totally exceeded my expectations.
Thanks guys

Spruce Garden Services created a beautiful pebbled path for us. The work was well coordinated and managed, the guys worked incredibly hard and listened to how we wanted the path to look. We are delighted how their work has transformed the garden.

Original gardens front and back grubbed out - quite a big job. New garden created according to designer’s plan, turf laid, new top soil in borders, gravel on membrane in front. One year on the garden looks like it’s been established for at least 3 years. Excellent top soil!! Great service from everyone from start to finish
