Gary Wainwright's GARDENS BY DESIGN

Buckley, Flintshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

25 January 2016

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gary Wainwright for the beautiful garden he has created for me. After having porcelain tiles laid badly, a disaster in itself, I found it impossible to find someone who could ' put the job ' right. I was recommended Gary, who has performed something not short of a miracle. He not only rescued my beautiful tiles but in doing so has transformed my garden into an amazing outdoor living space. Gary was informative, creative and trustworthy through the whole planning procedure, being able to view a detailed plan gave me a real feel for the finished result. His problem solving to aspects of my garden were remarkable. Throughout he and his team were polite, helpful and extremely hardworking. Gary did exactly what he said he would, on time and to the very highest standards. His attention to detail is exemplary and I now have the 'Wow Factor' I wanted from the garden.”

Patch of the Planet Garden Design

Buckley, Flintshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

12 September 2017

“My previously boring suburban garden has been transformed into my dream by Patch of the Planet. The whole garden flows with soft lines and shapes and paths lead to different areas of interest - a wildflower area with seat tucked away for peace and for watching the bees, a pond surrounded by beautiful ferns logs and more, a herb and medicinal plant area whose path flows through to my greenhouse and an enclosed meditation area as well as flowing areas of lawn. A lovely new patio area leads me through an arch into all of this. Neil and Dina listened carefully to what I wanted and gave me suggestions and new ideas. They were very knowledgable and a joy to work with. If I changed my mind about anything they were happy to adapt and discuss my thoughts. My garden is no longer a boring rectangular lawn, it is now a beautiful space that I can enjoy and be proud of. I would highly recommend Patch of the Planet if you want to enjoy the experience of transforming your garden.”

Anita Jane Designs

Buckley, Flintshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

28 January 2020

“We contacted Anita to help us with the redesign of our garden, which was a mix of really mature planting and some really dilapidated areas that we couldn’t use following some building work. We were looking for a designer who would be able to help us reimagine the space and create a family-friendly but stylish garden, without wasting the good bits already in place. We felt quite daunted due to the size of the garden and didn’t know where to begin. Enter Anita. She really “got” the great existing elements of the garden and was fantastic at working with those while helping us create new zones of the garden. Throughout the design she was easy to contact, receptive to feedback and did what she promised, when she said she would. We loved the design and planting plan she came up with - it was mindful of our budget and considered everything we’d given in the brief. Anita also comes with a great network; we used a contractor for the job who she recommended. They did superb job, so the whole process was a pleasure. Our garden is only a couple of months in, but despite being winter it is a far more enjoyable space to use and look at! Without her, we would probably still be staring at a pile of rubble and bricks and wondering where to begin! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any garden design job, no matter what size.”

The Cheshire Garden

Buckley, Flintshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

30 June 2015

“We are so happy with our new garden. From design, through to the final touches everything was just as we wanted, in fact better than we could have imagined. The designs are a work of art that we plan on framing, the attention to detail really paid off and Jane was able to accommodate our last minute changes whilst complimenting the overall design. Our dark and gloomy 70's style crazy paved front garden is now like something you would see in front of a modern show home. Thank you!”

Parmé Garden Design

Buckley, Flintshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

17 September 2015

“We worked with Parme Garden Design back in the summer of 2015 and they were a great company to deal with. Their designs, attention to detail and the way they dealt with the customer and the contractors was exemplary. It really was a pleasure to work alongside them. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Parme Garden Design.”

Butler Landscapes Ltd

Buckley, Flintshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

30 November 2016

“Butler Landscapes completed a landscape project (building a terraced area, pathways and driveways, two raised beds as well as a small amount of planting) in our suburban garden in the summer of 2016. We had plans for a garden design drawn up before meeting Sharon and Paul - but these needed modifying in order to keep the project within the budget. Paul was very helpful in suggesting the elements of re-design that would keep the price down to what we could afford, and having giving us a price he stuck to it for the entirety of the work - no hidden extras, no last minute requests for extra money. Compared to past experiences it was an absolute joy! I felt that both Sharon and Paul listened to what we wanted, and didn't try and persuade us to have a design or style that we were not comfortable with, but did suggest modifications that would improve on the the practicalities or look of the design - and we were very happy with these suggestions. The work itself was completed to a very high standard, the men working on the project worked hard and felt trustworthy, which was important to me as I was out at work for much of the time. The work did take longer to complete than initially anticipated, but this was largely due to the weather - which was not under Butler Landscapes' control. Paul ensured that all the loose ends were tied up before he asked for the final payment, coming back to the site a couple of times to ensure that all the last bits and pieces of work were finished. We are delighted with the end result and looking forward to enjoying it properly after the winter.”

Whatever your Buckley, Flintshire garden looks like, and whatever its size, you can probably benefit from the services of a Buckley, Flintshire garden designer or landscape architect. If you want to completely overhaul the look of your garden or perhaps just make some smaller changes but don’t know where to start, hiring a garden design professional in Buckley, Flintshire is the first step. Not only can a landscape architect design a garden that a Chelsea award winner might be proud of, they can also completely change the value of your Buckley, Flintshire home by looking at your landscape architecture as a whole. The work of a landscape architect serves much more than your garden; it makes the most of your outdoor space in a way that showcases your entire home. Landscape architects and garden designers do differ in the types of services they offer so it’s best to have some idea as to what you want to achieve before hiring a professional.

Do I need a garden designer or landscape architect?

Although there are similarities between both professions, there are some key differences which you will need to consider when choosing the right landscape architect or garden designer or firm for your job in Buckley, Flintshire.

Depending on the scope of your project, you may need to hire a fully qualified Buckley, Flintshire landscape architect and not a garden designer. Typically, a landscape architect would be needed for larger jobs that may involve structural changes or reconstructing the garden.

What is a landscape architect?

Much like architecture, surveying or accountancy, landscape architecture is a chartered profession. In order to become a fully fledged landscape architect, you will need to have a degree and need to study ‘on the job’ to qualify. Additionally you will need to be a member of a qualifying and regulation authority of the profession such as the Landscape Institute.

A landscape architect will handle all design, supply, construction and administrative elements of your garden or landscaping project. They will take into account your needs, the climate and unique advantages and constraints of the landscape architecture. Typically, work will be based on ecological and environmental considerations, and a garden will be planned not only to look its best but also to facilitate future maintenance and growth so that it continues to flourish. A landscape architect can also design any outdoor buildings that are to be featured in your garden. Everything from design blueprints through to the plants themselves should be provided by your landscape architect. If there is other architectural development taking place on your site, bring the landscape architect in as early as possible.

The expertise a landscape architect can apply to understanding your space and the natural environment could be vital to planning your project. Let your Buckley, Flintshire landscape architect work closely with your architect, surveyor and any other contractors in order to develop landscape architecture that works with any other construction. This is important from a design perspective as well as on a practical level – changes to the grading of a landscape and modifications such as drainage can have serious implications on the viability of your land for extensive building and structural works. In order to resolve any planning permission issues, submit all applications for building and landscape architecture together, well ahead of the project.

What is a garden designer?

Garden designers will provide a complete service, including planting plans, hard landscape elements (paths, walls, paving, decking) and special features such as water features, lighting and garden furniture. A Buckley, Flintshire garden designer can do design-only work for their clients and work with a garden contractor to finish the job or complete the whole thing themselves.

A garden designer has a different career path to a landscape architect so it is not essential to have a degree. Many garden designers will complete several courses to learn about their profession and to hone their skills - some will also eventually go on to become landscape architects.

The scope of garden designers, or landscape gardeners, is often more limited to green space projects which will optimise your existing outdoor space rather than altering the landscape architecture as a whole. Whereas landscape architects specialise in the structural aspect of garden planning and building, garden designers will carry out projects that are of aesthetic and horticultural value. Landscape gardeners will make your garden the best version of itself with features such as walkways, patios, water features, fences and lighting, as well as choosing the right plants, trees and flowers. The practical role of a garden designer may vary by firm – some offer just the plans, requiring a separate contractor, while others fulfil the project in its entirety, from conceptualisation of the landscape gardening to construction. Don’t be put off by the former if you happen to find a good garden designer that you like – he or she will have local industry connections to introduce you to quality, reliable gardening professionals with whom they have existing relationships. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of landscape architects: .

How do I choose good landscape architects or garden designers in Buckley, Flintshire?

When choosing your Buckley, Flintshire garden designer or landscape architect, be sure to research their qualifications and look at examples of their previous work. Any good garden professional will have a portfolio of previous projects which can be used to assess their skill level and whether or not their style is in line with ideas you may have. Once you have shortlisted or chosen your architect or designer, an on-site meeting is essential so they can see exactly what they’ll be working with. Stay briefed on all plans and developments, both before and during the project as a plan you approved previously may change during the course of the project. Be very clear on your budget – just like plans, costs may alter while work is underway so ensure your professional keeps you informed and does not incur additional expense without approval. If you are open-minded and budget-conscious, consider approaching new graduates keen for experience, who may negotiate a lower rate than more experienced professionals.
