Gardener recommendation


Magrat

Recommended Posts

We live in West Dulwich & wanted a gardener to help bring our back garden back to life after several years of neglect. We invited several gardeners to have a look at it & to give us prices. Once they had all been round & discussed the work, and had got back to us with prices, we felt that one person stood out head & shoulders above the rest. He wasn't actually the cheapest, but for what he had suggested doing his price seemed the best value. A couple of the others gadeners suggested less work & their quotes were higher. We mainly made our decision to ask him to do the work based on his enthuseasm & great ideas, although he listened very carefully to our thoughts first. He also showed us pictures of other work he had done which looked fantastic.

Unfortunately since then, my wife has suffered unexpected ill health & we've had to cancel having the work done for now, so we didn't actually get to see what he was going to do come to fuition. However I'd still like to recommend that anyone who's looking for a gardener in the East/West Dulwich or Dulwich Village areas gives him the opportunity to discuss their reqirements with thim, & provide a quote. I feel sure you'll be impressed.

His name is Vincent Galea and his business is called Hennessy and Soames. You can contact him through their web site at www.hennessyandsoames.co.uk or on 07776 485063. And if you're looking for someone to start work in early October I happen to know he's got some availability due to our cancelation, although I'm sure he'll get booked up again fairly quickly.

    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
