Nicholas Macartney, with his deep knowledge and expertise, has enabled me to realise my dream of easy to maintain, colourful, scent-filled garden which is welcoming to wildlife and has enough room for my own small fruit orchard. The work, materials and planting are of the highest standard. More...

Nicholas is a good garden designer and a clear communicator - he tells you when things will happen, and then makes sure things do happen! Our planting looks great, really looking forward to the spring when it starts to grow and flower. More...

I've seen gardens designed & maintained by Nick and been very impressed. We had so many compliments from potential buyers on the work he has done. As a property professional and an owner of an award winning estate agency, I understand how important the property exterior is and how important it is to have a well designed garden. As such, I would recommend Nick to anyone who is looking to improve their gardens. More...

We found Nick's knowledge of garden design in as much as Hard and Soft Landscaping to be invaluable when we were looking to have our garden transformed from a Modern Newbuild patch of grass to something we would be proud to show off. Nick was very sympathetic to our requirements and spent time working with us on on a combination of wish list from our perspective to what would actually work well. What we finsihed up with is a stunning garden which Nick and his team helped transform in a very professional manner, to budget and that we are very proud of. More...

What do you love most about your job?
One of the most wonderful things about our job is that we spend much of our time outside in the fresh air. Gardening is not a chore, its a passion we live with and enjoy every day. We love seeing the changes in the seasons and particuarly when we are in different gardens each day we see new flowers opening and leaves changing. Spring is out favourite time of the year, its wonderful to see the garden and countryside burst back into life with new freshness and vigor.
What inspired you to start your own business?
For many years I investigated why i should start my own business. I felt from early on that i needed my own business because employed work was not giving me job satisfaction. I wanted to be able to help gardens and garden owners outside of the employed business role. There are many service industries out there that come to a customers property but they all specialise in one thing or another, i felt we had the opportunity to provide a business service that encapsulates all garden services under one roof. Therefore this single factor was the reason why i felt inspired to start my own business.
Why should our clients choose you?
We are a garden company first and foremost. Usually clients will often say we have a chap to cut the grass but we still need this doing as he does not do that......
We Design your garden, We Build your garden, We plant your garden and We maintain your garden. One company for all garden services. Surely as a customer you would much rather deal with one company for everything garden related rather than multiple garden companies. ?
It is with this purpose Alexander John Garden Design & Maintenance was born. I decided i wanted a specialist in each field on the gardening industry on board and Banbury Gardeners is what we have become.
