Bob Platts impressed us all right from the start – not only is he a terrific and reliable person but he is enthusiastic about plants and gardens – hardworking, very professional and competent.

The mark he left on us was so, that we offered him a fulltime position as part of the team at Dixter, but unfortunately for us he had already set up his landscape business and sadly couldn’t join us.

He has a great future ahead of him and if I had to find someone to do my own back garden he would be my first port of call. Good luck Bob!

‘We responded to an advertisement which Bob Platts had placed in our local Bosham Village News.  We were immediately impressed by his prompt and punctual arrival and his congenial and courteous manner.  We liked his policy of ‘working with us’ being totally mindful and sensitive as to how we would like our garden tended.  He has a passionate interest in plants and all aspects of gardens and it is evident that he has gained considerable knowledge from his time working at Great Dixter. We have been more than satisfied with his efforts, his diligence, being prepared to work in adverse weather conditions and always takes trouble to clear up thoroughly.  Bob is a joy to have around and we cannot recommend him highly enough.’

I would like to personally thank you for the superb job you made of our garden whilst we were away.  From the initial conversation and our meeting you interpreted our needs quickly and correctly. You took care of the lawn, garden areas and shrubs leaving them healthy and looking good so that on our return we only had to look and enjoy.  We will certainly be in touch for our future needs and would happily recommend your services to others.
