I have trusted Cherie and the ForknHoe team for many years across both my residential homes and my commercial properties. Cherie runs an incredibly tight ship and her attention to detail is unmatched. On the residential side, they did a flawless landscaping job, installing beautiful native plants, laying fresh lawn turf, and building sleeper garden beds that completely transformed the space. They even went out of their way to fully cover and protect my brand-new driveway during the process. On the commercial side, their maintenance speed is outstanding. They get in and out quickly without disrupting business operations, yet they always do a thoroughly tidy job and leave the site spotless. Their rates are excellent for this elite level of work. Whether you need residential landscaping or rapid commercial maintenance, I highly recommend Cherie and her team!

Cherie and her team at ForknHoe have been doing my garden maintenance for the past 4 years and will carry on for the next 10 years. They work very hard and are extremely professional. I have a very particular way I want my large section to look and they always make it look better than I ask. So much so, I now just tell them to 'work their magic'. I love how creative they are and can bring my large section to life. I have many people come through my section and they all have very positive comments. Thank you Cherie! You guys are legends

Fork N Hoe, have been amazing. I needed my hedge on my property which is huge and falling over, it is 8m high, and the length of my property. They came and sorted this out so fast and so efficiently. Fork N Hoe now maintain my hedge on a regular basis. They know what they are doing..... my hedge is my privacy and that is in important to me. They listen and they care!

We have used Cherie and the Fork n Hoe Team for the last 8 years to maintain our property. They have excellent communication, always on time, and the property looks amazing thanks to them. We’ve watched the progress over the years and see how Cherie’s ideas have really added value. Cherie is awesome!! You’ll know when you meet her :-)

Cherie and the friendly team at ForknHoe were fantastic to work with. Cherie’s knowledge of plants and experience in landscaping really stood out, and she pointed me in the right direction with great advice throughout the project to achieve the best results upon selling my house. Highly recommend and we will be using this company again.

We’re so glad we found the Forknhoe Landscape Design team. From the very first chat with Cherie, she made us feel at ease and really listened to what we wanted for our garden. She guided us through the whole project with such care and clear advice that we always felt completely confident leaving everything in her hands. We love the design, it feels like it was made just for us, and the regular maintenance has been fantastic. It’s such a relief knowing the garden is in good hands and always looking its best. We couldn’t recommend Cherie and the team more highly.

Cherie at ForknHoe organized for our large half-acre site to be cleared and tidied for sale and it was done fantastically by Allan who worked like a trojan! We'd recommend this company to anyone looking for professional gardening as not only were they easy to work to and very understanding of the job requirements but they also went the extra mile to make sure they did the job by a deadline date. Very impressed!

"The best outdoor designs come from collaboration between us and our clients. Their needs and creativity, honed by our experience and expertise, creates results we can both be proud of."
