Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Bakewell, Derbyshire

“Would highly recommend Phil Hirst Garden Design. We have never used a garden designer before but would use Phil again if ever needed. Our garden looks beautiful and everybody comments on it. Phil took on board what we asked for and came up with a really good plan. Only a year on now but it looks great.”

We cannot recommend Louise highly enough , if you want someone who is friendly, listens , takes pride in every aspect of the work and most importantly delivers an outstanding garden , then contact Blue Tulip you will not be disappointed !”

“We really enjoyed working with Victoria. She helped us redesign our rather tired garden layout and unimaginative plants. After an initial meeting , Victoria produced some really interesting concept designs. Her extensive plant knowledge, ideas and enthusiasm have helped us create an all round garden. It’s a pleasure to look out every day to see what’s new and to observe the seasonal changes. We’ve had lots of very positive comments from friends and passers by. Victoria project managed the transformation and had a good team working alongside her. She is very professional and brought the scheme in on budget and to an agreed timescale. We now have a striking, low maintenance garden full of interesting plants and shrubs. It is maturing well and gives us great pleasure.”

“Dominic Stone of Bottle Kiln Design first provided a garden design and install contract at my previous property Old Engine Farm, Ashover Derbyshire in the early 1980's. I moved to Derry House, Matlock in 1997. I again sought Dominic out to provide a complete garden design and install, first in the late 1990's and again a more recently to refresh the original scheme with new paving to rear areas and to pave the original tarmac drive plus to lay significant surface water drainage channels and pipes. The experience I have of Dominic and his company is beyond excellent in terms of design expertise, product knowledge, installation skill, prompt work scheduling and commitment to his customer. His pricing has always been in my view realistic. In terms of his personal integrity, from the considerable experience I have had over a prolonged period of time it is beyond question, one hundred percent reliable.”

“We were bored with our square garden and had some ideas of how to make it more interesting but we needed someone to put them together in a coherent way. Sue more than lived up to our design expectations and was a great pleasure to work with. She listened well to our ideas and managed to incorporate all the features we wanted in a truly beautiful design. Now it is a really interesting garden with different views from different angles. There is a pleasure in walking round it via the new paths and it is lovely and green with a great structure I can build on over the years to come. A fantastically positive and collaborative experience.”

“I had previously employed Matt Nichol Garden Design Ltd. for my prior house. They had done such a good job that when I moved I knew they were the ones to call. They have excellent service, communcation and are very accommodating to any changes that you want to be made. I would thoroughly recommend them to all.”

“"What a delight! The whole experience given to us by Dan and his team from Dreamscape Gardens was professional from day 1 to the end of the transformation. It’s scary thinking of the cost of a complete makeover to a garden and you wonder if you are going to get ripped off or be disappointed. So let me say loud and clear that you can rest assured this will not be the case with Dreamscape Gardens. Having arranged a visit from them photos and measurements were taken of our garden and the most amazing scaled plans were created to show what it would look like when finished. We had plenty of time to discuss ideas and changes until the finished outline was agreed upon. As everything was ripped out our back garden looked more like “no-man’s land” in a WW 1 battlefield. And then the magic started. Paving, fencing, bedding and lawns. Every step being completed was fascinating. It was even possible to change details as the work progressed. I particularly liked the fact the team kept everything clean, neat and tidy at the end of each day. And once the work was complete Dan was keen to ensure he had put right any little snags or issues we had encountered. You will probably only “make-over“ your garden once so use a professional company like Dreamscape Gardens. You won’t be disappointed!””

“Designed and landscaped my new garden and now supply a regular maintenance service. Very professional and reliable. Am very happy with the result.”

“We have been customers of Ladybrook nurseries for approximately 12 years. I first used them to source plant material when working in the West Midlands and had no hesitation in making them a preferred supplier when I moved my business 7 years ago to Cheshire. They have an excellent range of specimen stock and the sizing especially of the herbaceous stock makes it a very cost effective way to create impact in a new garden. The local delivery service is excellent and they do go out of their way to ensure that the orders arrive in a timely manner using an appropriately sized vehicle. Again this makes project logistics much simpler. I would recommend Paul and his team without any hesitation.”

“I approached Bestall and Co for a garden design after finding them through a google search. I have been extremely impressed from the first contact with prompt and reliable responses to arrange an initial meeting at a time convenient to my wife and I. Subsequently all emails have been responded to quickly and efficiently; all questions answered without hesitation. Lee has presented an absolutely magnificent design for our garden...we are very excited to commence this project. His ideas and eye for detail are exceptionally good. We have found Lee to be very professional, very talented and he delivers a great all round service. I would not hesitate to recommend Bestall and Co to anybody who appreciates a first class service.”
