| And Why We’re Comfortable With That From time to time, we’re asked a fair question: “Why doesn’t Earthly Comforts have many client testimonials?” The honest answer is simple — most of our clients don’t leave reviews. And that’s something we’ve made our peace with. In all the years we’ve been trading, only a handful of clients have written online reviews. Not because they’re unhappy — quite the opposite — but because they’re private people who prefer to keep their homes, gardens, and lives just that: private. |
| Gardening Is Personal Gardening isn’t like buying a product online or booking a one-off service. We work in people’s personal spaces — places of rest, routine, and reflection. For many of our clients, their garden isn’t something to be photographed, shared, or talked about publicly. We respect that. We don’t pressure people to: Leave reviews Pose for photos Allow “before and after” transformations. That approach isn’t accidental — it’s a values choice. Word of Mouth Matters More Than Stars Earthly Comforts has grown primarily through word of mouth. Neighbours talk to neighbours. Friends recommend us quietly. Long-term clients pass our name on when someone asks, “Do you know a good gardener?” That kind of trust doesn’t always show up online — but it’s often far more meaningful. Our clients show their satisfaction in other ways: They stay with us for years. They recommend us personally. They tell us directly that they’re happy. That’s enough for us. Why We Don’t Do “Before & Afters” You won’t find dramatic transformation photos on our website or social media. Not because we don’t take pride in our work — but because we believe discretion matters. Gardens are part of someone’s home life. Photographing them, even with permission, can feel intrusive. And of course, we’re always mindful of privacy and GDPR. Our work is about care, consistency, and long-term health, not quick visual impact. A Quieter Kind of Business Earthly Comforts isn’t built on loud marketing or constant self-promotion. It’s built on: Turning up when we say we will Doing the job properly Respecting people and their space Working with nature, not over it Some excellent businesses grow quietly. They don’t shout, they don’t chase validation — they simply last. We’re proud to be one of them. In Closing We understand that testimonials can be reassuring, and we’re grateful to the few clients who have chosen to leave kind words publicly. But we also respect those who don’t — and we’ll never pressure anyone to do so. If you’re looking for a gardener who values privacy, trust, and thoughtful, consistent care over flashy marketing, you’re likely to feel at home with Earthly Comforts. Sometimes, the best recommendations are the ones shared quietly — and meant sincerely. Earthly Comforts – Gardening with Heart, Purpose, and Planet in Mind. |
