1st Class Gardens Ltd
Garden Services in Henderson

"Highly recommended! Chris and his team looked after my garden for years, with a regular maintenance plan. They managed weeds, trimmed hedges and shrubs, cleared leaves, mowed lawns and took away all the waste, including windfall. Chris and his team were always friendly, reliable and efficient - it's amazing what they can get done in such a short amount of time! Before 1st Class Gardens I'd spend hours of my weekend trying to keep the garden under control, totally worth it to let Chris and the team manage it instead!
The commitment to sustainability is real, and another reason to choose 1st Class Gardens. I can't recommend them enough."

"Very happy with our experience with 1st Class Gardens. We mainly worked with Chris, who helped us with planning the plants and layout for our small backyard. His recommendations helped us plan the space to function well and suit the conditions.
The turnaround time for the quote and booking in to complete the work was quick. The work was done well, professionally, and efficiently by Chris and Daniel. They left the space clean and made everything as smooth as could be.
Highly recommend 1st Class Gardens."

"I had the ad for 1st Class Gardens up on my fridge for nearly a year hoping that we would be able to have a gardening service to help with our large section. Although I love gardening I had become more and more discouraged about getting on top of our weed problem and all the maintenance required in a garden planted on the heavy clay soils of west Auckland. I finally phoned Chris Lange of 1st Class Gardens. He came over to see the garden the next day. His whole approach was very professional. He took plenty of time to listen and look around the garden and assess the job. I chose a maintenance plan that would suit our needs and they started two days later. Arriving promptly, they completed the job well, leaving the garden neat and tidy. We've got a plan for the longer term work and already a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I can enjoy gardening again without that sense of "I'll never get it all done.""

"1st. class gardens are good people to deal with. The men who came to do the job were capable and hard working, and a pleasure to deal with. They did what they said they would, they gave helpful explanations of what they were doing, and they took away a full skip of unwanted plant life which I was glad to see the last of. The initial date had to be postponed for various reasons to do with pandemic etc. No big deal. All was done in a reasonable and timely manner."

"Our property is a big hillside property that backs on to the Wait?kere ranges, so quite dense in areas. The rate of growth was too much for me to deal with so gave Chris a call to tame the growth. Communication in regards to delivery / pick-up of the skip and when the work would be completed was excellent.

Returning in the afternoon was a joy to see the entrance-way with no more overgrowth. The team will be back again to continue clearing the rear now - can't wait to see the end product."

"Highly recommended landscaping business. Chris provided a prompt quote for the work undertaken, and the awesome duo of Henry and George came out to dig over 75 holes for us to plant out fruit trees, rose bushes, climbers etc. We thoroughly enjoyed working along with the fellas, who put in a full day of hard mahi. Thanks Chris, Henry and George, we will use you again in the future!"
