City Gardens is a privately-owned business with over 30 years' experience, based in Exeter and operating throughout the South West. Started by Rob Hunt in the 1980's, the business soon flourished and with the addition of our senior foreman, Chris Morris, back in 1989, we have not looked back since.
Chris is the mainstay on site, his skills, knowledge and ability to communicate with customers has been of immeasurable benefit to the business and has won praise from so many of our clients. With Chris permanently on site, Rob is free to carry out the design work, liaise with the client and generally organise.

Whether you need our guidance on design, construction or planting, our years of experience make us the perfect choice for every aspect of landscaping, be it private or commercial.
Having been recommended to us by another Sidmouth client, I was called in to view this "potential filled" garden! The brief was to redesign the area with low maintenance a priority and no lawn whilst leaving the existing terrace untouched. Low maintenance does tend to conjure up images of great swathes of ground cover shrubs and of course this can work but it is not the only solution and neither is the prettiest.
This client was recommended to us by the builder who has renovated the property. The client lives in the South East and had used a garden designer from Surrey to design a very modern garden to complement the contemporary upgrade of the house. Materials for the construction work were selected by the client in collaboration with myself and included the very latest in ceramic paving.
Our garden design was installed from scratch by City Gardens and, despite encountering some very extensive subterranean tree roots that needed to be removed, it now looks brilliant! The work involved the construction of an extensive patio, brick paved areas, lawn and gardens. Their attention to detail and concern for the aesthetics was evident throughout and we have no reservations about recommending them to others.

City Gardens tendered a very reasonable quote which we accepted. They started work on time and completed a complex project within the agreed timescale. The team leader and his team were excellent, providing valuable tips on how to improve the project. They were extremely professional throughout. The standard of the work has been excellent. They take professional pride in their work. We are very pleased with the outcome of the project and would have no hesitation in recommending this company.
