Garden Plan Professionals in Howden, East Riding of Yorkshire

“We initially approached Garden Designer Matt Haddon early in 2013 when our house was in the early stages of construction. He very carefully listened to our brief and gave us initial outlying designs, measuring, taking soil samples etc. We had thought that we would use his expertise to plan, design, and layout the new garden (we'd do the work) but we found him so knowledgeable, and amenable that we asked him to do the work for us. The planting is exquisite, we back onto open countryside and we wanted to have an extension of the country feel, making it a haven for birds, bees and nectar loving insects. Matt has done just that, our garden is full of colour, contrast, fruit and all manner of wonderful plants and tress - all carefully chosen for our soil type and aspect. Matt planned the garden with interest all year round and came back in October of this year to finalise next years spring bulbs. I cannot recommend Matt highly enough, our garden has been an investment and wonderful complement to our house. Matt has even left us with a comprehensive plant care plan, so that we know how to care for the plants he has chosen, now whilst we are not amateur gardeners, it is helpful to know sometimes if a particular plant or shrub needs cutting back hard in October or March! We are happy to recommend Matt 100% so if you are looking for garden design in East Yorkshire, or beyond, do give him a call. Matt was, I believe an arborist/trees specialist before he became a Garden Designer and we saw his award winning stand at the Harrogate Garden Show this year so we are very happy to be part of his successful portfolio of garden designs and landscaping work.”

“Be warned!! This girl can read minds and really is a complete JOY to work with! We approached Emily earlier this year for help & guidance in transforming our new build, blank canvas & boring rear garden. We immediately felt at ease with her & the only real brief we could give her was that we’d like the space to remind us of a home we owned in abroad. We’d had chats about how that could look between us & so when Em came up with very similar ideas we were a bit blown away & it was a very easy yes to signing up with her. What followed was a very seamless process, fantastic communication & assurance at every stage. Em, Liam & the amazing team at Backhouse Construction & Landscaping have worked tirelessly to create not just a lovely garden but a whole new living space. We LOVE it & can’t stop looking at it There are not enough words to describe how we feel about our garden, my favourites however, are Overwhelmingly stunning!! Thank you Em, you’re a star! X”

“Lizzie Tulip is a great person to work with- she listens to your ideas and then creates a scheme based on what you want but even more. She has redesigned part of my front garden and also redesigned my terrace at the back of the house. Now we have a space we use much more to entertain and relax but it looks as if it has always been there.”
