Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Clearwell, Gloucestershire

“We hired the services of April House Garden in 2021 to design the landscape of our newly rebuilt cottage. Fast forward to the end of 2023 the garden looks incredibly beautiful which includes a diverse assortment of flowers, plants, and some trees. We are very happy with their services and will contract them again for a second phase of works in 2024. Eduardo and Ana.”

“We have been working with Terrey and the Outerspace team for almost 10 years now, and always find them a pleasure to deal with. They are extremely professional, excellent communicators and their work and garden schemes are always thoughtful and creative. We don't hesitate in recommending their services.”

“We engaged Waterside for a re-design of our garden. They combined some of our ideas with their experience and we agreed a start date and completion date. The work was carried out as agreed, on budget and on time! We are very happy with it and 6 months on would highly recommend Waterside for projects of varying size and complexity .”

“Nicola is an excellent, highly creative Landscape Architect, who was able to take a very complicated and unusual brief and create inspired and beautiful designs. Our project is a recreation of an historic garden, which is part of the University of Bristol. Although not a strict restoration, we wanted to return some of the original features and layout to the garden, but also create a space which worked for the students and public who will use the garden. Throughout the whole process, Nicola has worked closely with us on all parts of the design and implementation, always being available with advice and hands-on help when needed. She is friendly, personable and a good communicator. and takes the time to make her process accessible, so we have felt able to contribute to the overall design. Nicola's flexibility and quick thinking have been invaluable, as our project has many moving parts, and she has been able to adapt and give us options to suit our needs as the brief has changed along the way. It's great to be able to work with someone who has such thorough and detailed knowledge of the design process, and understands the challenges of working with public spaces in a heritage setting. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nicola for work on any type of project, she is a pleasure to work with.”

“Martyn Wilson designed our garden paying close attention to our original brief. We are delighted with the results and could never have created such a beautiful garden without him. He sourced local talented crafts people for bespoke pieces for the garden at prices to suit our budget. We would highly recommend his work”

“Rob is awesome. He has great vision and knowledge of all things garden related but is also on hand and available to help the garden plan become a reality by managing the process through till you have a beautiful flourishing outdoor space. Top guy !”

“I had a fairly large border (approx 8m x 5m) which had been neglected for a few years. I wanted to create a low maintenance flower bed and liked the idea of a country garden look. Ben and Paul came round and assessed what was there in terms of position (light/shade), soil and the shrubs which were worth retaining. We also discussed budget. I then received a planting plan with a quotation and commissioned the work. The bed was cleared and planted mid June and I am delighted with the result. I now have a bed which will flower more or less from May to September and will require increasingly less maintenance as it matures. FGD are extremely knowledgeable and gave me advice on other areas of my garden (not areas which will result in work for them). I do have another two areas which do need a makeover and I will certainly commission them to undertake the project.”

“Kylie offered a bespoke service of exceptional design and quality. After listening to how we wanted our garden to look and function , she took note of plants and colour combinations. Once the design was agreed she liaised with the hard landscaping team and coordinated all aspects of the work. We were extremely pleased with final completed garden and would be happy to recommend her work to other clients.”

“We have no hesitation in awarding Emotive Garden Designs the highest accolade. Sue has worked with us for more than 15 years and has transformed our dull lawn into a beautiful, inspiring garden enjoyed by us and admired by all who visit us. The quality of her work, her attention to detail, her research to find and suggest appropriate plants for the brief we gave her and then to source quality plants, her continued care and attention with cloud-pruning and spraying - we feel we are very fortunate to have found her and have been so confident in her ability that we have called her back on further occasions to work on other parts of our garden. We have not added photographs of our garden as there are plenty of them to be seen on the Emotive Gardens website.”

“Our garden was a sad and unwelcoming space until it was transformed through Al’s innovative and creative design. His professional approach to turning his ideas into the completed project has achieved more than we could have hoped for. Thanks to Al and his team, we now have a garden where it is a joy to spend time and to entertain friends and family alike. A garden that can be appreciated every day from both inside and outside the house ‘’.”
