Testimonials

 

Emma and I would like to formally thank you for the excellent garden you have designed, built, and finessed for us.

 

The design process was exceptionally thorough and you listened carefully to our likes and dislikes, making sure that the final design incorporated both the lifestyle and visual components we were looking for.

 

In terms of the build, Steve and Wayne were excellent! Not only are [they] genuine and friendly individuals, but the standard of workmanship has been first class. Please pass on our thanks to both of them.

 

Finally seeing the whole garden coming together with the planting, turf and water feature was a joy. Emma and I are both astounded by the transformation of both our front and back gardens in only four weeks.

 

Everyone we have had visit has commented on just how good the garden looks and we have already started to sit outside to enjoy out Sunday morning newspapers. Not something we did when we just had boring old turf!

 

So thank you again and if you ever need anytone to be a reference for high standard of yours, Steve's or Wayne's work then please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

Kind Regards,
Paul and Emma.


We would like to say how delighted we are with the transformation of our garden which you and your team have achieved over the last six months.

 

We started with a blank canvas in a lovely location, and your design closely followed our brief for a natural country garden blending in with the rural surroundings.

 

The result has exceeded our expectations, and we are now enjoying being in our garden and watching it slowly grow and bloom into the spring.

Your landscaping team were highly competent, friendly and helpful, adapting the design to overcome problems posed by the site - and they braved the foulest of weather to get the job completed on schedule. We are particularly pleased with Wayne's water feature which interprets your natural stream design perfectly.

 

We would heartily recommend you to anyone wanting a lovely garden, but not knowing where to start.

 

We are even planning to open our garden centre this summer, joining other local gardens in a local charity scheme, as being next to as popular country walking route, people from the village regularly pass by and complement our garden, and we are sure they would like a closer look!

Thanks once again to you and Rob, Steve and Wayne for a great job.

 

Kind regards,
John & Brigitte Wilkinson

Once again, so many thanks for doing such a terrific job with our garden. We are absolutely thrilled with all aspects of it - from the creative design to the planning and execution of all work, through to your advice and guidance all the way through the project. You interpreted our likes and dislikes so well, and there is norhing that we would want to change.

 

I know that we were really fortunate having such stunning weather in April, but even so, it's unusual for projects to come in a week earlier than scheduled.

 

We really enjoyed working with you and all your team, and would be delighted to act as a reference point for your future prospective clients.

We wanted to drop you a line to tell you how delighted we are with the work you did on our garden here at the Manor House in Highworth. It really has been a great result and has surpassed all our hopes and expectations.

 

As you will remember from our early discussions, we were very unsure about what to do with the garden and how it would turn out. Your phased approach of research then initial concepts followed by detailed planning really did help us to see how it would work and took wat all the uncertainties in our minds.

 

We really can't thank you enough Jill, we're thrilled with what you've achieved... absolutely brilliant! It's now a real pleasure to walk in our garden and we're sure you'll be glad to know that you're still getting lots of praise from everyone that has visited us.

 

Please also pass on our thanks to Steve and Rob for all their hard work and for being so thoughtful and considerate while they were working with us.

 

Warmest regards,
Barb and Ross Kitchener.


Just a brief note to thank you for the wonderful garden design you put together for us. You managed to meet all of our (very!) varied needs. Quite how you managed to get all our requirements into a single garden still amazes us.

 

Steve and the guys did a great job of translating your plans into the "real thing". They were so quick and tidy, despite the atrocious weather at the start. Please pass on our thanks to them for moving the gazebo for us, and thanks to Rob too, for the work on the arch and the screening - and for carrying my heavy pots!

 

We can barely wait until the warmer sunnier says to arrive so that we can make full use of our beautiful garden. Even the cats are using the stepping stones, and I'm sure they will claim the sunny spot on the decking come spring.

 

The planting is great (thanks for leaving the labels!!) - at the moment we can only imagine the year-round colours, so rollon spring! We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending your services to friends and neighbours - we're already doing mini-tours! You must all join us for the 'grand opening' party - bring plenty of business cards with you!

 

Warmest regards,
Caroline, Janice and Mark.

Thank you for the lovely memorial garden you created for my mum. She was a great lover of the far east and her favourite colour was blue and I find, with the quiet of the surroundings and the gentle running of the water, this is an excellent place for me to sit and remember her. The choice of planting has been excellent as we have had colour and flowering right through May to October.

 

You came to us recommended by a friend and we were impressed with your personal and professional service – we really did not expect you to work through all that rain AND a snowstorm to complete on time! We would be more than happy to recommend you to our friends and wish you much success in the future with your business.

 

Sharon and Ian Dixon

I would like to thank you for the wonderful garden you have created for my family and I. The entire experience has been a pleasure from start to finish. The service we experienced was wonderful and your approach to design was great. As non-gardeners we were very naive where plants and planting was concerned. Not only did your design and planting scheme incorporate our inputs (very limited contribution), but you were sure to provide us with a space that suited the kind of family we are. The play area for the children is quite clearly their own space, which means the rest of the garden can be enjoyed by the grown ups! Your team is welcome back anytime! They had a fair amount of paving and digging to complete but tidied up each night before leaving – we never felt like we were living in a building site. And the result.....fabulous. And the view and textures change each month! I truly thank you all.

 

Nicola

Thank you for our finished garden, it is now a pleasure to go out there each day and enjoy the space. From the initial design to the finished project we have been impressed by the service and help and advice given by yourself on what was a vague idea of ours to start with. Also, many thanks to Steve and Wayne for all their efforts with the hard landscaping. They were polite, hard working and did an excellent job of work and were not a bother to have around.

 

Keith and Wendy Waight

Just a short note to let you know how pleased we are with our beautiful garden. We know that despite its relatively small size, it wasn’t a particularly easy project bearing in mind the steep slope at the rear but you successfully combined our wishes with your own design concept. The result is a manageable and pretty garden which has been admired by all our visitors. As you know we were initially slightly sceptical that everything you planned would actually fit into the space but the end result has more than met our expectations and the garden looks bigger1 We cannot let this occasion pass without a mention for the wonderful Steve and Wayne. They worked very hard during the build stage, even though the weather was very hot, and were not only completely professional but nice guys to have around.
