Landscape Construction in Cookham, Berkshire

“We knew our garden needed a revamp, and we wanted it to be “grown-up” but still welcoming, but had few preconceived ideas. Not being gardeners ourselves, we didn’t have any plant knowledge but knew the styles we did and didn’t like. Peter, through relaxed discussion and an exchange of images, of gardens and plants, somehow managed to gauge the sort of thing we were hoping for. We were genuinely excited by Peter’s design when we saw it on paper and it was a pleasure to see the reality appearing gradually as the work progressed. We now have a garden we love and can be proud of – relaxed and elegant at the same time. Almost a year on, we still smile every time we look out of the window. The garden has remained a wonderful focal point throughout the winter months, thanks to Peter's thoughtful planting, and with Spring not far off, we are looking forward to the bulbs Peter introduced us to putting in an appearance.”

“We were recommended Tom by a friend who had worked with him previously and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to further people. He has in fact already worked with a member of my staff! Tom knows his market well and is experienced and confident in leading his clients through the design / landscaping process. We started off our front garden being totally re-designed but because we were so pleased with Tom's work we went on to have our rear garden landscaped which we could not be more pleased with. Tom has a great eye and I really do highly recommend him!”

“When I moved into my new home with 1 hectare of garden I needed help with landscaping it to keep it natural and water wise. I found David to have a good knowledge of indigenous plants, he interpreted my vision well and was a pleasure to work with. The garden has grown into itself and I am very happy with the outcome.”

“Preceded by full understanding and appreciation for what i wanted to be achieved, Paul was able to design, build and model the project around my budget and creative desires. Detailed analysis on the longer term commercial objectives an the need for safety and low maintenance was all accounted for and cleverly designed and built into the project.”

“Fantastic company to deal with, always professional and polite. Communication is spot on. Their gardens are always if the highest quality.”

“I used Simpy Garden Design a few years ago to completely overhaul a very unloved large patio and surrounding borders. Katie is full of inspiration and ideas and created a beautiful area that has great atmosphere...something I would not have felt possible given how unpromising it was before. She is professional, reliable and really listens to what you want, there is no homogeneous, "one size fits all" approach with Katie! I can also say that the patio only gets better with age! Thank you Katie !”

“I am over the moon with my new garden. It looks like a cutting edge show garden at Chelsea and random neighbours have been dropping by asking for tours. The team at Cool Gardens work really hard and are motivated and enthusiastic, and everyone is very good at what they do. There is an excellent builder and interiors designer working alongside the garden designers and I have ended up with a very contemporary and welcoming home that is the envy of my street.”

“Top Reasons why Lloyds Garden's of London is Ace! 1. Jonathan always arrives when he says he will. 2. The help in designing our front garden was valuable and great advice was given. 3. Tibi and Andrei are true craftsmen and take a lot of pride in every nook and cranny...they frequently show what they are working on and explain any tricky angles due to old Victorian homes... 4. Our young children and our dog were so taken with Andrei and Tibi that our youngest invited them to her party! 5. Overall, it was a delightful experience and our friends and neighbours are raving about our new garden. We'd happily have them back for any future jobs..or parties!”

“Pippa has been doing a phased garden project for us over the course of a 3-year house improvement project and at every stage has given us first class advice, coupled with wonderful planting schemes and a more lately a landscape design to transform an area of garden previously housing a grotty summer house and a nasty patio. We now have a stunning pergola, a seating area bordered by formal beds full of Pippa's carefully chosen shrubs and trees and a quiet haven in the midst of busy west London. Pippa's ability lies in her skill in interpreting her clients' wishes and matching that with the existing limitations and potential of a garden. We wanted a very English look, with a mix of formal and informal areas - and we are completely thrilled with the result. She is also an extremely practical person, with a flexibility to work around inevitable changes while on the job. She is also very reliable, and an excellent communicator. Cannot recommend her company highly enough.”

“Rebecca met us to discuss our ideas, then proposed three alternative designs, for both the front and back gardens, each of which was true to our suggestions, but provided interesting elements of her own. We particularly appreciated her ideas for planting, as our knowledge was somewhat limited. At each step of the way, through landscaping to final planting and subsequent maintenance help, Rebecca was responsive, efficient and dedicated to quality results. She collaborated particularly well with the landscaper, and between them they produced results we are delighted with, to time, and to expected budget. We would highly recommend her services.”
