Green Thumb were asked to quote for treating our lawn for Leatherjackets then killing off the present lawn, removing the turf and re-turfing. They quoted £25 for each application to kill the pests and £1,300 for the rest of the treatment. They carried out this treatment with a weeks gap in between. Seven weeks later after several reminders we managed to contact them to ask them when they would complete the Contract to be told “we can’t do it for that price” and they wanted another £350. We said no. It is a shame as we had decided to take out their maintenance plan at £30 per month to maintain the lawn. I would not recommend them at all.

A chap called Stuart came to my house and I showed him my small garden which needed all the grass uplifting as there was a drainage problem. He proposed just changing the grass and then committing to a plan where I pay monthly to have green thumb come out and spread seeds over it. This was quoted at £650.00 + the plan. I was told to dig a gully and fill it with pea grain myself to assist with the drainage. I was told if Greenthumb did it then the cost of my garden would be around £1500.00+. I was told Greenthumb will be round my house within 3 weeks and to ensure I have dug out the gullies accordingly. 3 weeks later I decided to take some initiative and ask what date they were going to come... I was then told they will not be able to come as it was not the right season for the new grass to grow. They proposed coming round 3 months later which was just not good enough as I’d already dug up my garden with the gullies. When I called back to try and get hold of this man called Stuart, he did not return my calls, nor did he bother coming round to apologise for the incorrect advice given. When I called the office they did not even have the details of my property. I must admit I’m glad I dodged a bullet as there was a bigger underlying problem. I had lots of clay inside my earth which needed to be removed. Greenthumb did not acknowledge this and thought of just changing the grass to sort out the problem. Luckily I did not get ripped off. I ended up calling another gardener and doing the job ourselves for just £600.00 including all the materials, new grass, seeds, and topsoil. I wonder how many old people end up being charged extortionate prices to have half the work done by Greenthumb. The company called me back last week to ask if I still wanted their services, can you guess what my answer was?..
