A few words from our clients...

Muddy Wellies have been taking care of our garden for several years - their knowledge and experience is excellent and they have done a fantastic job. Highly recommended!

Julia Pierce

Having just bought our house in Helford the Muddy Wellies team have transformed an overgrown and unloved garden into a tidy and usable space. They have done a great job at exposing hidden parts of the garden and unearthing plants and shrubs we didn't know existed! They are great at using their plant knowledge and initiative to prune, weed, tidy and maintain hedges and obviously take great care over what they do.

Positive: Quality

Mark Vaughan

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness

Harriet Gordon-Brown

Muddy Wellies have been doing a grand job helping maintain our garden for about 5 years or so now. Its not an easy garden as its on the side of a very steep valley with lots of different levels and mature shrubs and trees to keep in order...and an owner who quite likes things left a bit wild in places! Helen and team are great at understanding exactly how we want it to look - and I'm always impressed how much they achieve with a day's work. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them. Proper job!

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness

Juliet Kennedy

Muddy Wellies did a brilliant job of landscaping and planting our garden. It's been transformed from a scruffy bit of lawn into a modern well thought out space. We love it and so does everyone else who sees it. Harry was full of good suggestions and his team worked hard to achieve a great result. 100% recommended.

Anne & Peter Wilkening

We arrived this evening and were very excited to see how the building and landscaping of the garden was developing.
We are amazed! And so happy. We just love it all. We’ve just walked through the new garden to the left of the steps. You’ve turned a slope that was unloved and unused into a really great space.
We are just delighted.
Thank you to you and all your team.

Mr and Mrs F

Your team did a wonderful job today. They have really made a difference. Great workers and very pleasant to have around. It is such a relief to finally find a team who know their plants, who do not believe that all plants are hedges and who can prune without chopping the growing heads off everything and carving them into lollipops!!!! The team went home without leaving a lollipop in sight!

Seriously though, very happy.

Thank you Helen

Mrs L Hopkins, Mylor Bridge, Cornwall

Muddy Wellies Gardens were a pleasure to deal with. They were knowledgeable and full of ideas which were executed to a high standard. The work was delivered on time and within budget.

Mrs A. Barnes, Mawnan Smith, Cornwall

Helen and her team were a godsend maintaining our garden in Penryn, both helpful and knowledgeable . We were able to come down to the cottage and enjoy the garden rather than working in it on our short breaks.

Mr and Mrs Wigmore, Penryn, Cornwall

Dear Helen and Harry,

May I thank you and your team for all that you did over many years to keep my garden looking neat and tidy. I was very pleased with your work and, as you know, I recommended you to various prospective clients.

Thanks for everything and the best wishes to you and your family for the future.

Mr I. Newman, Mawnan Smith, Cornwall

Hi Helen,

Thank you to you and your team for making my garden look so much better! The team did an awesome job!

Miss I. Pocock, Penryn, Cornwall

I contacted Muddy Wellies Gardening Services for help with the overgrown jungle that was my back garden. Helen and her team could not have been more helpful. The whole design process was so enjoyable and I now have an oasis in the garden. It is so much more than I could have imagined.

S. Geach, Falmouth, Cornwall

Dear Helen,
I am so very pleased to have met you and your wonderful Gardeners who are so highly qualified,
they have changed the look in my garden altogether, and made it all look so beautiful, I can't be 
grateful enough for what they have accomplished in my garden!
I would highly recommend Muddy Wellies Gardens, they have changed the environment in my garden all together!
Thank you so much

Mrs. C. Curran, Falmouth, Cornwall

To the Muddy Wellies team, We were so pleased with the garden when we came down last week. Thank you so much for keeping it all so well tidied for the winter and for the lovely mown lawn and carefully cut edges. The garden gave us so much pleasure and it was so lovely to be able to relax and enjoy the neat and tidy space. You have achieved a wonderful result for us this year and we very much appreciate all your hard work. Thank you so much. 

J & R, Helford Passage

I asked Helen of Muddy Wellies to take over the upkeep of our holiday house by the Helford River in the winter of 2015. It had been rather neglected. The M.W. team renovated the garden, pruning, mulching and tackling the weeds. I am delighted with the transformation and have found the gardening team to be charming and consistently hard working. I could not be more pleased. 

L. Cobham, Calamansac, Nr. Port Navas

I found myself without my regular gardener and engaged Muddie Wellies to help out for the summer 2016. I found the contractors very knowledgable, experienced and professional in their work. They carried out all my instructions promptly and efficiently and were very helpful with any task I requested. I found them to be a delightful team and have no hesitation in recommending them for any gardening work.

P. Bertelsen, Trerose Estate, Helford Passage

We have a large garden & Muddy Wellies have been great in helping us with it. They have listened to what we wanted and also made good suggestions as to how the garden could be best maintained, managed and developed. The team are both helpful & hard workers, thank you Helen!

R & A, Mawnan, Cornwall

Muddy Wellies a happy gang led by Harry and Helen who have a talent for choosing and working with good conscientious hard workers. They are reliable and very knowledgeable and eager to full fill ideas. 

S. Davis, Falmouth, Cornwall

The garden looks lovely Helen. Please thank the boys, they worked hard.

Jane, Maenporth, Cornwall

A great job done by the girls from an unloved half mud pit to a true seaside tropical pebble garden. They are great fun to work with, turn up early and once plied with copious amounts of Tea and Coffee their energy and creative enthusiasm has no limits. We are greatly looking forward to working with them in the future.

Clive, Michelle and Zane (Vespa the Cat) Falmouth, Cornwall

Muddy Wellies were recommended by another gardener as being a company that could offer that something extra special. They are cheerful, energetic and most importantly, have a wealth of knowledge about your treasured plants, soil conditions and design needs. They are true qualified plantsmen and go that extra mile to guarantee satisfaction. If you want that something extra to really re-vitalise your garden, Muddy Wellies are certainly the team that can deliver. 

John & Wendy Ellis, Falmouth Cornwall

I found Muddy Wellies on the web and used them to 'tidy up' the back garden of our student house in Penryn. The work they carried out for us was done on time, on spec and on budget, which wasn't easy given the state of the place. I would have no hesitation in recomending Helen and the team to anybody. 

Ian W, Falmouth, Cornwall

We are lucky enough to have a 4 acre garden with a mix of formal beds, lake, woodland, vegetable garden, lawns and greenhouses. Muddy Wellies were recommended by friends who also work in the gardening industry which speaks volumes. The team are knowledgeable, helpful and tidy. They’re happy to tackle all aspects of gardening work and contribute invaluable suggestions for improvements and developments to make the garden work for you. Everything a garden team should be. 
 
Rae, The Rectory, Mawgan, The Lizard, Cornwall

We have found the Muddy Wellies team to be hardworking, knowledgeable, co-operative, friendly and fun to have around the place. On top of all that they are also punctual, reliable and altogether some of the best gardeners we have had, and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who loves their garden and wishes it to be treated lovingly in return. We wish them all the best in their business, they deserve to succeed. 

Mrs R. Hatton Mawnan Smith, Cornwall

It was with great reluctance that I had to admit I was no longer able to work in my beloved garden, which had consequently become overgrown and inhospitable. However, good fortune led me to ‘Muddy Wellies’, who listened carefully to my requirements. I was impressed by their reliability, consistent hard work and knowledge of gardening and plants. They were tidy and efficient. I am delighted with the result of their efforts. I unreservedly recommend them. 

Karen, Falmouth, Cornwall 

Muddy Wellies have been maintaining and improving our garden for a number of years now. Their knowledge of plants, expertise in pruning and also garden design is very good and they are unfailingly cheerful and industrious. I would wholeheartedly recommend them. 

Pam Marsh, Helford, Cornwall

Helen worked for us for 7 years and more recently with Harry and the team. They worked hard to help us maintain our 2 acre garden and were particularly helpful & sensitive when we were trying to sell our property. They have a good "eye" for planting schemes and coped with a variety of pruning jobs with knowledge and vigour. The team are very personable and a pleasure to have in the garden. 

Anne Pollard, Perranarworthal, Cornwall

Muddy Wellies have done valid work in our large garden. They helped us prepare for a public opening and have done imaginative clearance and more important planning and reinstatement. They work hard and with enthusiasm and i hope we will be able to use them for future works in the garden.

S.C.S. Tyrrell Bosvathick house, Constantine, Cornwall

When old age and illness limited my ability to tend my tiny, formal town garden, I discovered Helen Fresson of Muddy Wellies Gardens online. And what a find Helen turned out to be! She's a gifted gardener; a knowledgeable plantswoman who has a flair for garden design. I'm thrilled with her work and my garden is the talk of my family and chums. Thank you Helen. I’m so glad I found you. 

Di Coffey, Falmouth Cornwall 

We are very pleased to recommend Muddy Wellies. They have been looking after the gardens at our Grade II listed cottage in Helford since 2010. They have a good eye for garden design with some very tasteful plantings which really complement our creek side cottage. They have also tackled with gusto and really transformed our rear sloping garden which had all the characteristics of a jungle. It is now a lovely country garden from which to admire the wonderful creek views. 

Valerie and Peter Allred, Helford, Cornwall

We had a roof terrace containing a few old plants in plastic pots which detracted from the appeal of the terrace. Muddy Wellies has transformed the terrace. Harry designed the new layout and together with Helen provided a full procurement and installation service of high quality. The result is now a roof terrace overlooking the marina, lined with beautiful plants and is now an enjoyable place to spend time. We would recommend Muddy Wellies without reservation.

Pat & Peter Hallam, Falmouth, Cornwall

Thank you so much for bringing our garden back to life! We really are delighted.

Tony and Lyn Falmouth, Cornwall

Thank you for all the work you have done. Our daughter, grandchildren and friends are in Cornwall at the moment and describe the garden as ‘immaculate'.

Mr and Mrs Stirling Helford, Cornwall

Wow, what a beautiful garden I have! What a wonderful suprise, it looks fantastic, thak you so so much. 

Mrs L. Baldaro, St Martin, Cornwall

Muddy Wellies Gardens are helping us with our ongoing garden maintenance and, through their landscape and design team, with the evolution and development of our garden. We are very pleased with both aspects of their work. They are experienced and professional, knowledgable and work hard, we thoroughly recommend them. 

Carol & David Gibson, Mawnan Smith, Cornwall

Muddy Wellies are working on a large landscaping project for us involving new pathways in a sloping wood as well as more formal paths through our gardens. Stone walls as well as beautiful garden structures are being created alongside a really imaginative planting scheme. They are friendly, knowledgeable, creative, hard working, reliable, honest and a joy to have working in our home. 

John Stoker, Mylor Church, Cornwall

I contacted Muddy Wellies , after moving to Mylor last November, to ask for their help in redesigning my garden. They came in with wonderful creative ideas and always worked with great enthusiasm and humour. They listened to my ideas throughout the project and I now have a beautiful garden which I feel we created together.  So, thank you so much Helen, Harry and your team.

Vicki Harrold, Mylor Bridge, Cornwall

We knew that we wanted a new garden but didn't exactly know how to achieve this goal. Muddywellies were recommended to us and Helen listened to our vague ideas and was able to translate these into a design that we were happy with and was within our budget. Their attention to detail and professionalism in reconstructing our garden cannot be overstated and the finished product exceeded our expectations.
