Edible Garden Professionals in Byfield, Northamptonshire

“Made a superb job with minimal disruption. Thoroughly recommend these guys.”

“Totally professional, courteous team covering all the skills / bases. It has been a pleasure working with Nick and the team over nearly three years maintaining my garden.”

“Jane provided a complete garden design by post, based on our own measurements and new spaces planned, once a planned house extension is completed. The end deliverable was a surprise so we communicated almost entirely by email, and it was a complete success. Jane is extremely knowledgeable about garden design and was always prompt in responding to questions, queries and general email comms. I thoroughly enjoyed the process! I felt she understood our brief well and went the extra mile in creating a pintrest board of photo ideas to accompany the design, as well as sketched options and a scale plan of the final design. I loved her sketches so much I had to ask her for some colour versions of the final designs as they bring to life her ideas so well, visually. Jane has kept in touch since, and kindly offered her support and advice should any questions come up once we complete our extension and move on to the garden, over the coming months. Thank you, Jane!”

“We are completely delighted with our evening patio area. Having enjoyed it for just a year now the shrubs in the raised beds have filled out the space and have started to provide some welcome colour for their second season. The barbecue and wooden furniture are recently uncovered ready for the first party of the year this weekend. Looking back at photographs of the work being done at the beginning of 2018 it is hard to remember not having this space in our garden. The design enhanced our own ideas and workmanship both on and around the site was extremely high quality and professional. We can totally recommend Urban Gardener. Its been a great experience all the way through.”

“We are absolutely delighted with the summer house and garden landscaping that Hadingham Kirk did for us (completed in 2018). They provided a professional service and a quality build. The craftsmanship is superb and it was a pleasure to deal with them.”

“A dedicated and knowledgeable team providing a completely professional service in terms of gardening, plant care and grounds maintenance. All aspects of garden and ground work have been successfully completed from design through to construction and planting. So reliable - have not used anyone else!”

“Nicholsons, especially Jon Uglow who leads the design team, are creative, listen to the brief, look carefully at the client, the environment, especially relevant materials and culture and apply all these factors to producing a scaled design to an agreed budget. I have nothing but respect for this company who provide a one-stop service as they will implement the design, oversee any removal or felling of plants and trees as well as installing both the hard-landscaping and planting.”

“I have lost count of the number of people who have delighted in the garden that Doug designed and created for me in 2017 - passers by, who have seen the front garden, often stop and ask if they can come round the back to have a look. I even get notes through the door saying how much people enjoy looking at the front garden alone! It has been a joy to watch it develop and there is nothing I would change about it. When Doug first came to look the old walled cottage garden was full of builders rubble, brambles and weeds. Doug listened to my ideas and then came up with a design that incorporated them and so much more. Each area of the garden is full of interest and the planting gives variety and colour all year round. It is accessible for the disabled guests that I have to stay and attracts bees, birds and butterflies. It is completely in keeping with the age of the house and Doug was careful to preserve some of the old features such as the 100 yr old pear tree. He also introduced new fruit trees, a fruit cage and raised beds. The garden is imaginatively and pleasingly divided into sections and seating areas. This makes it easy to manage as I never feel overwhelmed by how much gardening there is to do and can work in sections. In one corner we can sit and enjoy the evening sun - at the moment next to the Fig tree, Ceanothus and Aliums and later beside the Agapanthus, which was the star of the old garden and is enjoying shining again. The patio area outside the bifold kitchen doors and leading to the garden gets the sun earlier in the day, has a garden room which Doug installed opening onto it and provides a wonderful area for parties with string lighting that Doug suggested above on summer evenings. The house had suffered from flooding in the past and Doug thoroughly discussed management options with me and incorporated an incline into the patio which drains into a soakaway. No problems since! My neighbour's little girl calls our garden 'the secret garden' as she loves it so much and so do we. Doug is knowledgeable, polite, collaborative, thoughtful, creative, imaginative and practical - he was able to take my clumsy ideas and turn then into something that exceeded my expectations and will bring us pleasure for years to come. It is also helpful to know that he remains on hand for advice as the garden develops. The project was completed to time and on budget and to a very high quality.”
