Recommendation wanted: Gardener/landscape gardener for front and back garden in ED


LillyD

Recommended Posts

We had both front and back gardens completely overhauled by Alek Nikolic. With both we had them completely removed and started from scratch. He was great at listening to what we wanted and coming up with ideas, and we have been thrilled with the end results. He's a very hard worker and a nice guy to have around.


A few of my friends have since used him too and also been really pleased.


Alek is local to East Dulwich, and can be contacted on 07702 029 397. Happy to let you see our gardens as an example of his work.

We recently used The Garden Club - http://www.gardenclublondon.co.uk/ - for a complete 'garden transformation', and can thoroughly recommend them. Tony Woods is a true plant expert and came up with lots of ideas around the things we'd suggested. He then bought the plants at very reasonable prices for us because he knows which nurseries to use. The number is 020 3544 7443.


The Garden Club contracted out the hard landscaping, which was a key element of our new garden, to Outside Edge (Clinton Wootten - 07887 847770). Again, Clint is a real find.


Do get in touch if you'd like more detailed info.


Good luck!


Kate

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
