Bespoke Water Feature Professionals in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire

“Highly recommend APT. Superb design service that evolves and gave us everything we requested and more. Matt and the team are great.”

“Jan came and helped me with my fairly exposed coastal garden. She listened carefully and took great care in explaining everything. I would have no hesitation to work with Jan again and have recommended her to friends. She is such a friendly person and knows her stuff! Mrs J Lagesse, Portsmouth.”

“I engaged Ben on a project a couple of years back, which has only just completed (Sep 2020). The reasons for the delay were down to the complexity of the project, requiring multiple design considerations from various suppliers. Throughout the engagement, Ben has been both professional and hardworking, as well as patient whilst we both worked through design options and considerations to find the best solutions. The resulting design and installation (in my case a Hardwood Deck with automated hatch leading to a workshop/study/storeroom beneath) is testimony to that hard work and focus. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ben for any design projects you might be wishing to undertake.”

“Catherine did a great job from beginning to end. I needed to completely change the back and front gardens. She had great ideas on what would work and what would not, how to deliver the look I wanted and how to keep it within budget. I couldn't be more happy with the results. Both gardens look great - the neighbours have all commented on the front garden. She worked well with the builder who did the landscaping. She's also been happy to replace a plant that died and fix an irrigation pipe someone else broke. I cant believe how many plants I have. Given the money available for plants, I expected a small number of small plants, but the garden is full of lovely plants and it looks well established after only 3 months. Every few weeks some new plants come into flower so I think there is a good mix of plants to have flowers most of the year. I would happily recommend Catherine Rampton.”

“Knowledgeable, engaging, really tries to understand her clients. Helene has done a great job designing and implementing a large, traditional border and shrubbery, advising on garden planning, planting and how a garden might grow in the long term. This is an ongoing relationship so project length and cost are indicative. Top marks. Highly recommended.”

“We hired Nigel from Cityscapers to design and create a completely new large garden following extensive renovations to our suburban home. He worked closely with us to understand our tastes and what we wanted from the garden, paying attention not just to how it would look, but how we would use it and feel in it when completed. Nigel worked hard to reflect the interior and exterior architecture of the house, using flowing lines, slopes and levels to connect spaces and give structure and meaning to the result. He even incorporated a gurgling stream, with particular attention to the perfect selection and placement of rocks. Nigel also patiently went along with our desire to "own" the result by doing much of the planting ourselves, although I'm sure he'd have done a better job himself. The process has felt very "organic", too, with Nigel eschewing noisy and polluting tools where possible, making sure we started composting and encouraging us to get involved. The end result is a garden that's simply a delight to be in, and we're excited to see it mature and develop under Nigel's guidance. I highly recommend Cityscapers for their design vision and flair, their meticulous attention to detail and total fearlessness in the face of some backbreaking work.”

“We appointed Pehrsson Scott to carry out the design and the construction of our town garden in Hertfordshire. We found Henry and the team to be very responsive and engaging at all times. They listened to our brief and involved us in the design process ensuring we understood every detail and were happy with the design before signing off each stage. They gave us a clear understanding of the costs from the outset and were always approachable and pleasant to deal with once the work began. We were very pleased with the outcome and our garden is now a space which the whole family can enjoy. We look forwards to working with them again in the future.”

“We had a fantastic experience working with Jane Ashley. She was professional, transparent on pricing, truly collaborative, and really listened to what we were hoping to achieve. Our small urban garden has been transformed into a secluded, lush haven in a matter of weeks. We were beginners in the garden but Jane never made us feel patronised or out of our depth. Her enthusiasm was contagious and we really love our new garden!”

“A fantastic team with great working ethos. Theo came up with the initial design and adjusted where needed and was very knowledgeable with current trends and themes that are representative of the current markets. He created the layout and plantage of the garden which was a complete makeover and transformation. Ethan is incredibly talented at putting the whole piece together and paid attention to the finer details which ultimately ended up creating a masterpiece for my family. A team that is professional, clean, and respectful, one that I recommend most warmly.”

“Vicki is an excellent garden designer. She really listened to the brief I gave her and delivered an exceptionally beautiful garden which is easy to maintain but has all the elements which we requested. It has year round colour and interest - which was not easy to achieve considering that we have really poor soil. She never minded if I vetoed a plant suggestion that she had made and always came up with several more possibilities. We get so much pleasure from our garden now and Vicki continues to provide advice and help. I can't rate her highly enough!”
