Creating Landscaped Gardens Across Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire

page_type: prop_plus_profile

Whilst remaining a small family business our skills, interests and experience have evolved over the years to encompass a wide range of design and build work. From the small to medium sized garden schemes for which we are best known locally, to the design and construction of garden buildings, summer houses, garden-room house extensions and, on occasion, larger-scale home renovation projects and new homes complete with their garden surrounds. What We Do? We are particularly interested in designing across the boundaries of architecture and garden design; our most interesting and rewarding schemes often being those where the design of house and garden and their relationship to each other are considered as a whole. What gives us the most pleasure is working with our customers to design and construct things of real craftsmanship and beauty. Things which we are proud to have made, and which we know will give you enjoyment for many years to come.

We engaged Bottle Kiln to re-landscape our garden in summer 2019. We are very pleased with the finished job and with how the project was managed all the way through from the initial design to completion. It did take a little bit longer to complete than initial expectations, but our patience was rewarded with a great end result. Works done included splitting the garden onto two levels, laying tiles, wall, turf and planting.

Absolute delight to work with the Bottle Kiln team. Meticulous design and detailed accurate costings incorporating my own specific ideas, but with fantastic added vision and expertise. Dominic is very talented in designing sympathetically in a conservation/historic context and actively re-used original and reclaimed materials to deliver a garden space sympathetic to the house and an absolute pleasure to enjoy every day. Throughout the efficient 9 month landscaping process, his entire team were so hard working, personable, skilled and such a delight to have around. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Dominic and his talented team did an amazing job of turning an overgrown, poorly landscaped and unusable part of the garden in our new home, in to usable, nature friendly, feast for the eyes and senses appreciated by ourselves and our neighbours. Dominic and his teams knowledge and attention to detail is beyond question. The quality of the work done by his team is to the highest standard, deadlines were met as were budgets. We actually increased our budget and added additional landscaping we were so pleased with the initial work. The site was kept clean and tidy at all times. In the longterm development of our garden, we intend to continue to use Dominic and his team.

We highly recommend Dominic and his team; from the first phone call until the garden was finished, we were expertly guided and advised in a non-pressured way and as a result have a garden that is so much better than we imagined. All the team were reliable, efficient and skilled and despite challenges with the site and the weather remained good humoured through the whole project.

Bottle Kiln designed a beautiful front garden for me which fitted exactly into the difficult space available. The project was started on time and completed within the time frame. The work was carried out extremely professionally and thoughtfully, with much attention to detail. Every day I admire my garden because I am so pleased with the result. I would certainly recommend this reliable and highly professional firm to any one who wants to improve their home environment.

Bottle Kiln Design - very thorough work and kept informed from the outset of the project from design to planning and during the build. Dominic and his team were concientous all the way through with our needs and expectations. Like any project which was quiet large with the removal of the whole back of our existing dwelling (in the winter!) we knew with meetings on site what was being done and what was to be done. Decisions and changes were discussed all the way along and project managed in a way which was not disruptive considering the work that was involved. The budget was adhered to and it was no trouble to change things as the development progressed. The outcome met all our expectations and more. In addition we decided to commission the garden works alongside the build to complete the job. The after service also has to be commended and if any problem arises one of Dominic's team attended for any minor alterations. Overall very satisfied.

This is the second garden BKD had ckmpleted for me and I am as delighted with this one as I was with the first one. The project was completed on time and on budget. The design was imaginative and exactly to the brief. The costings provided showed all the material and labour costs broken down by category so I fully understood how the final figure was calculated. It was all superbly professional and the same foreman worked on the build every day .. and he was the same man who completed my previous garden landscaping 15 years before!

We first approached Dominic Stone of Bottle Kiln Design with a pipe dream of buying land from a local farmer and adding it to our current, tiny garden. Living in a World Heritage Site and Conservation area we knew it would be difficult to not only obtain the correct consent but to create something sympathetic to the local heritage/area. From the very first meeting we knew we were in the right hands. Dominic was confident, knowledgeable, calm and honest. He clearly was also excited by the challenge and passionate about creating something special for us. We felt totally able to leave things in his hands and he handled everything for us from obtaining consent from the local authority to designing and planning the whole project. I have to add here that both my partner and I have notoriously high standards and expect to drive projects forward,yet we knew immediately that there would be no need with Dominic and his team. Communication, attention to detail, accurate and transparent costings and reliability were second to none. We were able to take a total step back and let them get the job done. Throughout the actual build project which started on 4th January and ended today, we have had the pleasure of a fantastic team of craftsmen and labourers who have been polite, courteous, reliable and good fun. They have all taken pride in their work and have been rewarded with bacon cobs, biscuits and tea! The job had been completed today and we are thrilled to bits with the outcome. It is beyond anything we could have imagined and we are absolutely over the moon. We will be recommending Bottle Kiln Design to all friends and family without hesitation.

I was really happy with Bottle Kiln. They were professional, knowledgeable and experienced. They were able to interpret and deliver what I was after. The standard of work was high throughout. The teams were well trained, hardworking and personable. Despite challenging weather at times, the deadlines were met. I wouldn't hesitate to call on them again.

We had a new build house so our garden was a blank canvas. Not being very creative we contacted Bottle Kiln after a recommendation from a neighbour and that is the best decision we ever made. Dominic is a great listener (we had lots of ideas but not any semblance of design or cohesion). His design, scale drawing and fully costed, was exactly what we wanted/ dreamed of and all within a week of his visit. After a few minor tweaks, the plans were agreed and work started before we knew it. His workers are a good bunch of characters and the standard of work very high. There are no corners cut, he won’t be the cheapest but you get what you pay for. All materials and labour are priced transparently. Dominic will work with you if you have a budget in mind by simplifying the design or offering more cost effective materials. I couldn’t rate him highly enough.

We had been in our house for around 5 years and the garden was an area that we never really focused on. After undertaking an extension we were left with large areas of the garden that needed urgent attention. Dominic at Bottle Kiln was recommended to us and from start to finish his ideas and professionalism shone through. We now have a beautiful yet practical garden that we are enjoying immensely. We would not hesitate in recommending Dominic or using him again on any future works. Thanks for an excellent job with a reliable team who were all a credit to your Company - Mark & Claire

On buying a new build house we were left with a sloping poorly landscaped garden which was unusable much of the year due to a lack of drainage with the plants and turf dying due to poor soil quality left by the developers. Dominic came and discussed our needs for a usable low maintenance garden and presented a number of draft plans with multiple levels to transform the sloping site into connected feature areas and embracing the available views. His team worked through the agreed plan quickly and courteously with quality materials and craftsmanship to give exceptional finished results. They incorporated all necessary drainage and replaced all the topsoil to rectify the issues left by the developer allowing the excellent planting to thrive. Despite the incorporation of much larger structural areas the overall feel of the garden is much bigger as Dominic's eye for proportion has brought a balance between the hard landscaping, lawn areas and planting. I would highly recommend whether you need just ideas and plans or full project delivery as all is done to a high standard.
