Apart from being a genuinely lovely soul, Saied is fantastic at his craft. This is the second time we?ve brought him in to install new spring bulbs and update a planting scheme that he planted in early 2019 at the front of our restaurant. Once again, not only did we trust him to go shopping for the plants himself (and he brought us quite a few absolute bargains that we wouldn?t have spotted to maximise our budget), he also has a real eye for colour and texture. Most of the original shrubs and trees that he planted in 2019 have actually thrived - probably not down to our care but because he answered our brief for low maintenance planting. He?s provided plants that are perfect for non-green fingered folks like us. As our flowers are beginning to bloom, passers-by are stopping to admire the plants and to enquire about who did the planting, which is testament to Saied. I?m really happy with Saied?s work and will happily recommend him!

My second job this year with Dulwich Eco Gardening and I'm thrilled that once again, Saied has done a wonderful job. We know he's busy and constantly booked but we called him very short notice to magic up a planting scheme outside a restaurant in Herne Hill. He came to see us to understood what we wanted and then got Mick (the carpenter) on the case to build some rustic reclaimed wood planters. Mick has done an outstanding job - its clear he loves wood and to get the boxes to their finished state, he has lavished time and attention on making them. The finish is great. Saied made room in his busy schedule to go plant shopping with me - he's so knowledgeable and has a great eye for textures and colour. The result has softened the hard street landscape outside and the restaurant team and diners have said they love the results. Photos are attached. I will definitely recommend Saied - he really is THAT good at his trade and lovely (yet professional) too.

I had actually contacted Saied months ago but for whatever the reason, we weren't ready. So when I called him months later, I expected a bit of a cold shoulder. In fact, he was completely the opposite, very warm and immediately put me at ease. We met after I explained my predicament - a large overgrown jungle area under which lurked the foundations and promise of a large rockery. An uneven paving stones area, rocks scattered all over the place, weeds galore and ivy strangling everything in sight. This was coupled with a difficult-to-handle prickly client (my 80-year old father) who knows 'everything' about gardening and hard work. Dad isn't the easiest with professionals coming into his home. He can be sullen and a bit offish. But Saied has a fantastic quality - he's collaborative, he listens and he involves. 3 days work - with my dad 'overseeing' which some would see as an interfering nuisance but not Saied - has produced fantastic results and I'm amazed at what he and Richard have done. They carefully dug up and potted plants that we want saved for re-planting and Saied has given me recommendations on plants to buy. He has gone the extra mile with landscaping and my dad can also see that. The jungle is completely cleared out, trees have been sympathetically pruned, the paving has been properly re-laid with sheeting underneath (a lot of work), gravel has been added, rocks have been moved and 'planted' and broken crazy paving on the stairs have been repaired and cemented down. Saied and Richard have done an amazing job and now that we can see what we're actually working with, they will be back to plant up the rockery when I get the plants from places that Saied has recommended. It's one of the first times that I can actually say that my dad is extremely happy with a tradesman! Absolutely no complaints! We can't recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening enough :-). Before and after photos will be posted.
