We have used Oakland on multiple occasions. Most recently we just had our patio done by Craig’s team (landscaping) and couldn’t recommend them enough. They were all professional, very friendly and did a fantastic job.

Craig, Marcus and Michael did an amazing job with our new gravel driveway and fencing. Their level of finish and attention to detail is fantastic, they’re super tidy and efficient, plus they had great ideas on how to make the plans even better throughout the process. Very fair and honest pricing too! Fully recommend!

I recently had Oakland round to give our trees their annual spruce up and they trimmed my trees to perfection! I was incredibly impressed with their level of skill and professionalism throughout the entire process. They were very nice and helpful, and they made sure to clean up after themselves so that there was no mess left behind. I would highly recommend Oakland to anyone in need of a little spruce. I'll definitely be calling on Oakland again!

We have used Oakland for many years, mainly to keep our 20ft high Leylandi hedge under control but occasional tree work too. The attached pics tells all you need to know about their standard of work but they also leave everything as it should be afterward. Totally recommended.

We are absolutely delighted with the work undertaken by the team again. Oakland have previously done some work on two Cedar trees on our property that have preservation orders on them and we were very happy with that work. This time we have had a huge amount of work undertaken by Oakland which included replacement fencing, removing a rotten shed, garden clearance and tree work. They are a most professional and friendly team and we can't recommend them highly enough. Floris was so helpful in answering our questions and the team worked hard and were so tidy despite the amount of work they were doing. The price was excellent and this job only took them three days.They were all a pleasure to be around it was clear that each team member enjoyed their job and worked together to make sure the best outcome was achieved for us. We will be asking them again soon to do some landscaping work. In short this company are an example of an excellent family run business. Specific thanks go to Jodi, Floris, Gavin and James who were so helpful from our first contact through to the finish of the job.

Our initial involvement with Oakland was limited in that the first contact was when one of the staff (Craig) helped out a mate with laying a couple of slabs. This led us to asking them to do a bit more limited paving work at which point, the same Craig said he thought our garden could be improved if we had lighting installed. This was then sold to us by one of his colleagues - James - so we went ahead. All I can say is that we are extremely pleased with the result! So, based on the quality of that work, who else could we possibly go to for some fencing. Spot on, Oakland again. The work was done in a timely manner and as with the lighting, the end result is excellent. Would recommend them to anyone!

Oakland installed a patio and pathway around a new extension we had. The service was very professional and friendly and a great team of guys to do the job. James came up with a brilliant lighting scheme, and the finished result looks superb. Would certainly recommend.

From the initial contact when booking the appointment, having to reschedule, the visit to price the job and the completion of the work everyone I dealt with at the Oakland Group have been professional, polite and a pleasure to deal with. I have no hesitation in recommending them & will definitely use them again. Thank you.

The tree cutting back work in our garden was done to a high standard and looks great. All the cut material was neatly picked up and put through the wood chipping machine. The team was professional and polite, made helpful suggestions and were clear about the cost of the work in advance. Would definitely use again and recommended.

Floris and Jodi and the whole Oakland team are absolute legends. They are quick to quote and deliver their services, responsive and pleasant - and their tree pruning services are carried out to a very high and safe standard. They always provide very honest and realistic quotes. They do not aim to be a low cost provider and the quality of the job and their care for plants and trees more than justifies the reasonable cost for their services. They are always happy to offer advice and safety tips as well , especially for people like me operating complex garden tools :-) I can t recommend them highly enough and will be using them again in 2022!

Back in 2019, we used the Oakland Group to remove a dying oak tree in our front garden. They did such an amazing job that we had no hesitation contacting them to clear back the jungle that sprung up after the removal of the tree. Floris and his team cleared the area back to bare earth, removing self seeded saplings and a mountain of weeds, trimmed back existing shrubs and planted two new trees. This was achieved in half a day, work that would have taken us days. Our front drive was left spotless and all this for a very reasonable rate. We have now engaged Oakland Group to help tame the rest of our garden! Many thanks to Floris and his team and to Jodi in the office who kept us up to date with quotes and timetables. Highly recommended.

We have some very large mature trees, bushes, and shrubs surrounding our property and have used the Oakland Group on three occasions to cut back growth and to remove a number of conifers. A great bunch of lads who know what they are doing. Come well equipped with every tool to tackle the jobs in hand with all debris removed and garden left spotless. The team are usually led by Ffloris but Gavin was in charge this time who we found to be very friendly, professional and knowledgeable too. Highly recommend this family run business and will be definitely use again.

We had a complete overhaul of our garden done by Oakland. The team were incredibly friendly and professional, from the initial contact through to the quote and the work being completed. Floris took the time to go through everything we wanted when doing the quote and offered advice on what would and wouldnt work. The garden now looks fantastic - better than we even imagined!

This is the second time I ve had Floris and his team round to help me manage my garden. His level of knowledge of plants and trees is simply inspirational, and their work ethic is a standard that all businesses should strive for. The whole team, from Jodi in the office and Floris quoting/delivering the project was seamless, straightforward, and a pleasure to deal with. On site, both Floris and his team, acted professionally and courteous at all times, respecting my property and the neighbouring properties alike. I would highly recommend Oakland to anyone! Thank you Jodi, Floris and team.

What a professional and courteous service! Floris and the team arrived with me yesterday to trim up a Laurel Hedge and the garden. They arrived on time, explained what they were going to do, took me through the end result and made sure I was happy. It was a superb service and they left the garden so tidy! Thanks also to Jodi for booking me in at such late notice and keeping me informed throughout. The whole team did a wonderful job. Highly recommended.

First time we used Oakland following a recommendation. The team were brilliant, professional and tidy. They clearly care about their work and helped me understand how we could get our project completed in a way that supported the trees and shrubs in our garden. Theyre highly skilled and you can see our trees have been trimmed professionally and sympathetically so they will continue to thrive. So much more sunlight in the garden will ensure we have a great lawn too. Would recommend without hesitation.

We approached Oakland Group to clear out a garden at almshouses in Warwick as it had become overgrown and full of bindweed and ground elder etc. The garden in question is in a prominent position by the West Gate entrance to Warwick. Oakland achieved this in the space of a day by being super organised with a large team who carried out the work speedily and disposed of all of the garden waste. Our elderly residents were thrilled with the results as are the Trustees of the Charity. A job very well done indeed thank you!

Oakland removed a significantly sized rockery and dilapidated raised bed and constructed a new raised bed built from sleepers. Also installed new fencing built from concrete posts, gravel boards and wooden panels. The quality of workmanship was excellent and couldn t be faulted in any way. The team are tremendously hard working, accommodating and provided suggestions and recommendations that resulted in a fantastic transformation of the area. An extremely professional team that I would highly recommend. We are looking forward Oakland transforming another area of our garden for us in the near future.

I have a large garden with many mature trees and large shrubs. A team of five from Oakland gives it a thorough annual service in the autumn as well as doing occasional jobs at other times. It is an impressive team effort displaying all the skills and tools required for the tree and trimming work I need done. I have found them to be punctual, efficient and fast workers. They are also knowledgeable, cheerful and positive and can be relied on to follow instructions closely but also to use sensible discretion where needed. All this and the bonus of a responsive and reliable office; such a relief after chasing previous contractors up hill and down dale to fix dates or get questions answered.
