David Simpson Gardens

David provided us with a garden design as well as a planting plan. He was attentive and listened to our wishes and needs. It was not simply doing what we asked; he challenged us and came up with a very innovative design. He was receptive to our suggested changes. We did not have much idea of all the plants we wanted. David guided us through the process and specified and supplied appropriate planting. He also liaised with the landscaping contractor and ensured that everything was coordinated. We are now enjoying the garden and the variety of plants in it. We can thoroughly recommend David.

David has been a pleasure to work with on our very special garden project . He followed our general brief very accurately and produced a stunning design which I am happy to say has fulfilled and exceeded our expectations. David worked closely with us and the landscaping contractor to ensure the design was delivered and was a valuable support throughout the whole process. The planting recently completed was well thought out providing all year colour. David took time to find out which plants and colours we liked and incorporated these into his plan. He was on site when the plants were delivered, and spent time to position them to ensure maximum impact. The final result is amazing, and we can't thank David enough for helping achieve our perfect garden. I would have no hesitation in recommending David. He is knowledgeable resourceful, and an extremely pleasant person to work with.

We had an excellent experience working with David on our garden design and landscaping project. From the very beginning, David was unfailingly polite, professional, and a pleasure to deal with. He took the time to properly understand what we wanted, offered thoughtful and knowledgeable advice, and engaged with us throughout the process with genuine enthusiasm and care. David’s design ideas were practical, creative, and clearly backed by strong experience. He explained options clearly, helped us make informed decisions, and was always happy to discuss ideas or answer questions. We are absolutely delighted with the finished garden — the results have completely transformed the space. David has also been excellent at providing ongoing maintenance advice along with helpful hints and tips to ensure the garden will thrive. We couldn’t be happier with both the process and the outcome, and would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and highly engaged garden designer.

David was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He has transformed our garden from a neglected mess to a smart, creative & spacious design that we are delighted with. Our garden looks twice as big and is in-keeping with the overall contemporary's house design. I found David Helpful and patient with my lack of plant knowledge, advising along the way. I would definitely recommend his services and cannot wait for plants to spring into life next year completing the final look.

David is an excellent communicator and is very passionate about the quality and selection of plants. We didn’t know what to do with the bland rectangle of grass at the back of our new build house but David came up with a plan that incorporated scent, shape and our desire to attract pollinators. He has a very clear vision of what works well where and the finished article is exactly as outlined in the 3D design. Despite a few discussions about budget (!) we are delighted with our beautiful new garden and glad David pushed us to be a bit more ambitious

David has been a delight to work with on our garden project. Taking us calmly through the idea generation stage, adding in ideas based on his experience and coming up with a beautiful design in tune with our taste, space and requirements for a lovely back garden. Helping us understand use of our space and adding in interest and features whilst remaining practical has been very helpful and his input on planting ideas has been invaluable. We are half way through the build and ca't wait to see the finished article and take our new space into use.

David designed a beautiful garden for us, and was able to incorporate everything on our wish list, including an amazing water feature, despite being limited for space. His expertise was invaluable in choosing and setting out the plants, liasing with the landscapers, and answering our many questions. In all it was a smooth transition from design to reality. We would highly recommend this service.

David came up with an excellent design for our 300sqm patio and also our 400sqm driveway. He put a lot of thought and used his extensive knowledge of materials to create a very pleasing vista in a semi woodland setting. David is easy to work with and progressed the design stage quickly and efficiently to get it ready for pricing and lining up contractors. It was nice to be able to work with a professional who was hampered by budget constraints but still produced a lovely design.

We had an unusual brief, requesting a plan for a fairly large family garden with a very limited budget that could be executed in phases over a number of years to accommodate a young growing family. David enabled us to see how the existing garden could be updated by introducing new seating areas, innovative planting of trees and introducing new planting schemes to zone the garden. He produced a good initial 3D plan which we discussed, revised and tweaked. He was very easy to work with, readily available on the phone to discuss ideas and offer advice. We are very pleased with the final very detailed plan and look forward to discussing planting schemes in the near future.

We’re really pleased with the results of David’s design and execution. With his design, David helped us see what would optimise the space in our garden. We went through a couple of iterations to adjust for budget and our preferences, and the final design was just what we wanted. With the team of gardeners that David works with, the execution phase was pretty much stress free. They were happy to add a couple of extra little pieces that we thought of during the work, and the whole thing was done in a little over two weeks. All in all, happy with the process and happy with the outcome.

I cannot recommend David highly enough. He has been so attentive, informative, patient and flexible. Importantly (for me) he was happy to take on a commission that only involved the design, which is unusual. Yet he has provided much, much more. He has spent a great deal of time talking things through, advising me where to invest and where to save money and supported me throughout. I know he is a busy man with much bigger projects (and, frankly, more lucrative compared to my relatively modest one) but I have always been made to feel as if I am his most important client. He met with my builders (despite usually working with his own) which I found hugely reassuring and he’s supported me every step of the way. The build is now underway and, at no extra cost, he continues to contact me to check on progress and happily answers follow up questions. His (very reasonable) fees have been worth every single penny. Gardens are an investment and in the current climate, it’s important to feel you are investing wisely. David is the right person to guide you whatever your budget and however confident you feel – or otherwise. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending David, whatever your needs are.

Excellent garden designer. We worked closely for a couple of projects and they’ve turned out great! Thanks David!
