What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

What comes through most consistently is the involvement of Nick, named in nearly every account of a build handled by this Wokingham-based garden room specialist on Milton Gardens. Homeowners across a range of projects, including a garden office, an art studio, a physiotherapy and Pilates room, and a garden gym, describe him as flexible, responsive and attentive to detailed requests, adapting cabin dimensions to fit awkward or unused corners of a garden.

Dave and Matt are also mentioned as steady presences on site, working efficiently and tidily even during a summer heatwave on one project. Bespoke touches feature strongly in the feedback, from integrated blinds fitted within bi-fold doors for added privacy to a matching shed built alongside a main garden office.

Builds are generally reported as completed on schedule and within budget, with several customers noting that the finished space has become part of daily life, used for work, hobbies or leisure. Communication during construction is highlighted as a particular strength, with quick replies to frequent questions during the planning stage. The company keeps daytime hours through the week and on Saturdays, closing on Sundays, and continues to be shaped around Nick's hands-on approach to each individual garden building project.

We are really delighted with our new cabin; I can’t wait to start using it to work in. Nick and Dave were absolutely fantastic throughout the build, very professional and not imposing at all, they just got on with it. Considering they had a heatwave to deal with, they did an excellent job, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Backyard Cabins!

We love our new Backyard Cabin! We've taken some unused space at the end of our garden that we never used and turned it into a fantastic room for work and play that we use everyday. Thanks!

Delighted with our new garden office cabin. It was designed to blend perfectly with the existing house and the build quality is excellent. BackYard Cabins were fantastic to work with — great communication, reliable and very efficient throughout. A very professional job and we couldn’t be happier with the result.

My daughters art studio exceeded expectations. The build was completed on time, in budget and is stunning. Nick and Matt were lovely to have around and clearly take much pride in their work. I highly recommend.

We recently used Backyard Cabins to build a bespoke garden office, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From the very start, Nick was incredibly flexible, pragmatic, and quick to respond to my (many!) emails and ideas. He adapted the cabin’s dimensions perfectly to suit our garden and even built a matching shed tucked neatly behind the office. Throughout the build, Nick and Dave were friendly, professional, and completely self-sufficient—whether we were home or not. Nick also recommended Ben McGibbon as the electrician, who did an excellent and reliable job. The finished office is absolutely fantastic—we honestly can’t fault it. We’d 100% recommend Nick and Backyard Cabins!

Excellent service and finished product. It was a pleasure to work with Nick on our garden gym project from design through to completion. He was attentive, flexible and reliable from start to finish. We could not be happier with the finished product. 100% tecommend. Pail & Katy
