Johnsons Garden Buildings Gosport
What customers say
Families and first-time buyers exploring summer houses and log cabins make up much of the feedback for Johnsons Garden Buildings at the Alver Valley Garden Centre display village in Gosport, open seven days a week including Sunday afternoons. Zak, the branch's district manager, is named in nearly every account for his patience during showroom visits and for conducting site surveys personally to confirm sizing before any order is placed. Several accounts note feeling genuinely welcomed rather than pressured into a purchase, with clear guidance offered on the range of options available to suit each garden. Dan is also mentioned working alongside Zak on quotes and keeping projects within agreed budgets, including honouring discounts where needed. Once ordered, installation teams are consistently described as efficient and hardworking, completing builds ahead of schedule in some cases and leaving gardens tidy afterwards, even in difficult weather conditions. Several customers highlight follow-up visits after installation to check satisfaction with the finished cabin or summer house. Communication throughout the process, from first enquiry at the showroom to a completed structure in the garden, is described as clear and consistent at every stage, giving customers confidence in the choices made along the way, with the Gosport display village remaining the starting point for most of these purchases and enquiries.

The team at Johnsons are really friendly, helpful and polite. Excellent customer service and efficient at checking the proposed site. Good advice given. Zak and Dan worked hard to keep costs to our budget and honoured a discount for us. Very happy with communications and service. Easy process. Will review further after the build is complete, but so far brilliant! Thoroughly recommend them.
Life is for living and that was the main reason we decided to purchase a Summer house. After doing much research and asking friends we decided to visit Johnson's at Alverstoke garden centre. From the first introduction we felt like we were being treated as old friends rather than clients. We were quite specific in our needs and made clear the reasons we were spending and wanted something perfect. Zak visited our property and advised us on the way ahead assuring us that we had made the correct choice. After a 6 week lead in the Summerhouse was built in two days and shortly after the electricians arrived to install the electrics. Again they listened to what we wanted and went out of their way to accommodate. We did not want a painted building so took advice from a specialist company and we have kept the natural look of the wood, while fulfilling all the requirements of the companies warranty. The service we have received is above and beyond and with all things there have been a few snagging issues but they are all noted and in the process of being corrected. Thank you to Zak and his team for making the whole process easy and transparent, at a time we needed som positivity in our life's I hope the relationship will go further than simply just being a customer . We would not hesitate to recommend Johnson's of Gosport to any one thinking of adding to their garden and property Thank you
The team at Gosport offer a great service, knowledgeable about the different types of cabins and what would be suitable for my needs. They took the time to help get me the cabin i needed. Can't wait for it you be installed. The thing i liked a well as being professional. They didn't knock the competition. Just relied on their skills. Thank you .
I visited Johnsons garden buildings and was impressed with the rage of options available. Zach the district manager was very helpful and even arranged a site visit of our house on the same day. Both me and my partner were very impressed and purchased our custom garden building the same day. I would highly recommend using them.
I felt truly and honestly welcomed by Zak when I first decided I might want one of the summer houses. Zak was so patient with not only advising me of the variations on offer but more importantly what I wanted and the options then presented to me to align with my needs. Zak came on the site visit to measure up so that I was assured the size I asked for was right. I do not normally post reviews but credit where credit is due - I cant wait to share the before and after photos in due course, Well done so far Zak.
Zak and Dan have been superb throughout the choosing and buying process. There was no pressured selling, Zak came round and surveyed and measured our desired location and advised us accordingly. We have now had our Hempstore Mini garden room installed and we are extremely pleased with it. Thank you both for all you help assistance, we would recommend Johnson’s to anyone thinking of buying a garden room, especially from Zak and Dan at the Gosport office.
Ordered the summer house with Zak, very helpful and made the whole experience so easy. Building was installed ahead of the quoted time and looks great. Would highly recommend one of these. Thanks Zak. Only the painting to complete now.
