I have been the proud owner of Golden Stones for the past 20 years based in Stroud. Growing up on a farm in Horsley / Nailsworth in the Five Valleys I developed my love for the outdoors helping out on the farm finding myself building or fixing dry stone walls and cutting grass and growing crops.

Somehow I found myself joining Gloucestershire Constabulary where I would work for the next 19 years eventually finishing up as a Dog Handler. The shift pattern meant that I soon started Goldenstones to keep me occupied on my midweek days off.  Within 3 months I was employing my first member of staff and it rapidly progressing from there.

The police showed me how there were some awful tradespeople out there and they literally rob vulnerable or naive customers of their life savings for a very sub-standard job. Having worked closely with Trading Standards on one such job I became aware of the “Buy with Confidence” scheme they ran. I became the first landscape gardener in Gloucestershire to be audited and approved by Trading Standards. I felt good old fashioned trust to do what you were advertising was very important.

Chris and his team have completely transformed our garden, creating a smart outdoor living area, with porcelain paving, water blade and gazebo. Chris fulfilled our ideas and made suggestions to overcome issues and to enhance the area. His communication and project management were excellent. Nic took great pride in his work, he laid our porcelain to an exemplary standard and skilfully built our gazebo. The team were all friendly, punctual and worked well during record breaking hot weather. Wren completed the area with a contemporary planting plan, considering the style that we were hoping to achieve and sourcing plants that would survive in their sunny or shady positions. We are really glad that we entrusted our project to Golden Stones Gardening and we would recommend them without hesitation. A really big thank you to all.

Words do not describe what Chris and his team have done because more than landscaping my garden, they have transformed my house and garden into a little haven which for the first time in my life feels like a proper little home. Chris is incredibly conscientious, creative and generous both in his knowledge and with his detail, he met all my needs and at times I know I was a tad demanding…. Honestly there is no better person to manage the job, along with a wonderful, hardworking and dedicated team. Every task completed to the highest quality and such friendly guys. They worked tirelessly on my project in the middle of winter 2021 never with a complaint. One of my priorities living in a fairly inaccessible village on a non through road was to keep the neighbours happy…. They did this with skill and finesse to the point where neighbours would stop me on my walks and comment on how accommodating they were. I would without hesitation have Chris and his team back at the drop of a hat. I am so grateful to you all and can assure I am spreading the word as the evidence of a beautiful garden is there for all to see. And photos will be added in due course once all the spring flowers are planted. Thank you Chris.

Chris and his team at Golden Stones have recently completed a garden redesign for us involving laying a new patio, lawn and also some fencing, and the results are first class! The works were quoted for promptly and started on the agreed date. The on site team, Anthony and George, were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They were always on time and carried out the work to an exceptionally high standard with a keen eye for detail. They were such a pleasure to have around and always left the area clean and tidy so we could continue to live as normally as possible during the renovation. A massive thank you to both of you for all of your efforts. You are more than welcome to drop in for coffee anytime you like! We would use Golden Stones again in the future without hesitation!

We absolutely love our patio. Chris, Nik and the friendly team worked so hard to deliver our vision and have produced a fantastic quality result which really is above and beyond what we expected. When we had questions and queries the team were happy to discuss and come up with solutions with nothing being too much trouble. We will definitely be using Golden Stones to deliver the next stage of our garden plans. Thank you.
