Cheshire Landscape Gardener

I decided to take on Jason to carry out my landscaping job on my new build property after consulting with a few landscapers in the Cheshire area. It was clear that Jason was the right person for the job as he has a real passion from the very beginning and is genuinely such a nice guy. From early discussions right to the very end, every little detail was talked through with myself and he ultimately wanted nothing but the best results. My garden was also on a slight slope before, which was all sorted out and flattered to make use of all the space thanks to Jasons ingenious ideas and problem solving skills. Communication was straight forward with Jason. Honest guy and all costs are broken down throughout the job. Would always let me know what stage the garden was at and what materials were needed and when. Honestly over the moon with the hard work that Jason put into my garden and I am so pleased I chose to go with him in the end. Thanks for everything Jason!

Our garden was partially overgrown with very tired block paving. There were minimal borders and a slope where previously there had been trees and shrubs. We had some ideas for what we wanted but Jason was so helpful in the advice on design and techniques we should consider in coming up with the final specification for the garden wed dreamed of. It was so good working with Jason tapping in to his expertise. Our initial discussions with Jason came up with the outline plan which were fine-tuned as we came to each phase of the project, his vision was so helpful. His communication through the whole project was brilliant. From explaining what he was going to do, how and when he was going to do it, to exactly what materials were needed and when. He is so conscientious and hard working, it is incredible what this man can do! He is so passionate about his work, he really enjoys doing what he does and so keen to do a perfect job. To summarise the work Jason did for us, stripping the whole garden, which involved removing old patio, crazy paving area, unwanted trees/shrubs, tired lawn, old fencing and making the whole garden area level. The new work consisted of laying two large patios in Italian Porcelain, a lovely step in to the conservatory, construct a large timber gazebo, create two borders and garden perimeters using granite cobbles and laying a new lawn. He also constructed the new handmade timber fencing in natural planed wood. Allowing for rain water to drain away, the whole garden area is on the same level, it looks fabulous. All areas were finished off using gravel to create a nice neat and contrasting transition from one feature to another. We are very happy with the work that Jason has done and delighted with our new garden space. A big thank you to Jason and would definitely recommend his garden services.

Before work commenced we were living with a weed ridden lawn, and an ugly uneven concrete slab patio. Over the course of a month, Jason stripped everything back to a blank canvas and transformed it into a beautiful outside living space that can be enjoyed all year round. After our initial enquiry, Jason visited us and helped plan a design vision for our space. His communication has been brilliant from start to finish. His work ethic is tremendous, delivering on his design promise and fixing a number of unforeseen issues with our drain system in the process. At every stage of the project he clearly communicated any issue that he found and helped explain possible solutions. His work included, laying a patio in stunning Italian porcelain, building a brick retaining wall, with steps leading to a higher patio, newly laid manicured lawn and our existing garden room. He also helped fix an issue with our block paving driveway at the front of the house that was beginning to fall away at the edges.

Its a feeling we all get, when we trust someone and they let you down!! This is exactly what happened to me with Cheshire Landscape Gardener and Mr Jason Costello. I contracted him to renovate my back yard by erecting a new fence, removing weeds, creating a border with bark chipping and grouting the flagstones. This also included the acid etching of the flagstones to clean them. I was quoted 2/3 days for the work and we agreed a price. They duly turn up at 8.30am on first day but left at 1pm promising to return within the hour as they were going to get materials. They didn't come back till 4.30pm. Where they stayed until 7pm. I was then informed that the work was completed. I queried this statement as the flagstones had neither been properly grouted nor etched. They came back next day and started to correct the grouting by taking still moist grout from other areas thereby thinning the grouting in those areas. I would have expected additional material. After a few hours they left promising to return to finish the etching. They then phoned demanding payment as the job was complete. As I am disabled and have a serious heart condition, I didn't argue and paid them in full with their promise to return to finish the etching of the flags. They have yet to return to finish the job. On further inspection of the works I noted that they are incomplete. They agreed to remove weeds and treat soil areas with weed killer and install weed barrier to control weeds on both sides of the fence and place bark chippings down. Only one side of the fence has bark chipping and neither side was treated with weed killer. They did not install a weed control mat as agreed. What they did was cut up some visquine sheeting I had without reference to myself and in an obvious effort to cut costs. The fence is not properly secured and bangs around even in the slightest breeze and as I informed earlier the etching of the flags remains outstanding. It is obvious from my experience that Jason Costello is not a man of his word. He, to my mind over prices works and I advise on strict project management to ensure that he delivers what he agrees to. In summary, would I recommend him? I would answer a resounding NO!! and give him and his company a 1/10 rating. 14/9/20 pity its taken him 5 years to reply. My case rests !
