11 March 2016

“We have been working with Terrey and the Outerspace team for almost 10 years now, and always find them a pleasure to deal with.

The Bloomsbury Gardener

Newport Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

24 May 2019

“Daniel did an excellent job of designing our communal garden. This included patio areas as well as re-planting to provide all year round colour. He was also very pleasant to work with and kept us well informed as to costs and the specific plants that were going into the site. He now comes back every quarter to check all is looking good.”

GreenBird Gardening Ltd

Newport Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

14 December 2016

“Both Lisa and I are absolutely delighted and so are the children with the transformation of our Garden. Thank you, Chris and the team. Not only was the team professional in all aspects of work, they worked with us from an idea perspective to transform the end of our garden into a children's area and separate seating area for us. Perfect!”

Eliza Gray Gardens

Newport Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

3 July 2016

“Eliza took a hugely positive and encouraging approach to her garden design work, and was a pleasure to work with. The project had two stages: initial and final, both of which were quoted in advance for price and timescales, and were delivered to the price and on time. The result was highly imaginative and interesting, and our garden attracts praise from everyone who visits us. We are still pleased with what we have and it has stood the test of time. We were recommended a choice of two contractors, and we got quotes from both and chose one of them. The implementation was good, but was let down by taking a very long time and poor pointing on the paving. A lot of this was caused by the weather (sustained torrential rain) and was really outside of Eliza's control. If there was anything that was less than perfect, it was the choice of some of the plants and their location. There were some tall plants that we ultimately failed to keep standing upright because of the wind (we are at the top of a hill). We had been hoping for more all year round plants and less that die down in the winter, but we knew very little at the time, and have since altered the mix a bit. However, we remain fully satisfied with the bit that is difficult to change, namely the hard landscaping.”

Artisan Landscapes

Newport Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

17 January 2020

“We are very pleased that we chose Artisan to remodel our garden. Artisan's design addressed our requirements and improved the garden both aesthetically and practically. We chose an oak frame and kebony for the deck, with porcelain paving and reclaimed local stone facing for the retaining wall. Artisan's design and excellent craftsmanship shows these materials off well. The planting scheme was also very well considered and executed. It has been a delight to see it emerge and flower over the last year.. All the Artisan staff were enthusiastic, tidy, considerate of us, our neighbours and our neighbourhood. The project was very well managed and ran in accordance with the project plan and staged payment scheme. Communication was good and there were regular progress meetings throughout the work. Minor concerns were addressed promptly. The project was completed to the cost agreed at the outset. We are delighted with the result.”

Eden Garden Design

Newport Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

11 May 2016

“Sheldon of Eden Garden Solutions was recommended to us initially for some maintenance work. He was so passionate about our garden we soon began discussing what else he could help with. The moment we saw one of his designs we knew we needed him to design a garden for us. We have 1/4 of an acre of hilly terrain with crumbling walkways, an old garage blocking half the garden, a main road at the front from which we wanted shelter, a desire to better handle the water that runs onto and down the land and a superb view which we wanted to exploit. Oh yes, and we wanted low maintenance! Sheldon listened precisely to our often rambling views of what we thought we wanted, He also spent many hours in the garden getting the feel of it. The result is an amazing plan to work to adjusted from the initial draft and agreed with us. We couldn't fault Sheldon and just can't wait to be able to afford to put is plan into reality. Oh - and in the meantime he often did ad hoc bits of maintenance work for us!!!”

Brett Hardy Landscapes Ltd

Newport Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

8 November 2017

“Fantastic a device, design and a speedy and efficient job. After building our new house the garden was plain and bare. Brett helped us come up with great ways to soften and zone the garden beautifully. Can't wait to see our wildflower meadow next spring!”

Kylie Johnson Garden Design

Newport Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

3 July 2020

“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.”

Katherine Roper Landscape & Garden Design

Newport Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

18 January 2016

“We bought some derelict land and built our own new house, but we had no idea how on earth we could create a garden on land covered with just scalpings!! We engaged Katherine Roper and she gave us hope, and a beautiful vision of what we could achieve. She listened very thoroughly to our brief and gave us a plan for garden planting with a natural feel, which she designed to also support and encourage wildlife. The resulting design was natural, stunning and admired by all!! And yes the wildlife love it here!! Katherine is a highly creative, professional and experienced designer and we were thrilled with the garden she designed for us.”

CC Garden Design and Construction Ltd

Newport Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

12 November 2017

“Chris and Team were presented with a challenging 3 tier, very steep site with difficult access. Working from the bottom up, their work has shored up our garden, making it safe and an enjoyable place to spend time. Impossible to quote for such a project with many complications, Chris and the team communicated at every turn, with great ideas and a good eye for practical design. With our budget in mind, recycling materials was a very important factor for us.”

Whatever your Newport garden looks like, and whatever its size, you can probably benefit from the services of a Newport 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 Newport 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 Newport 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 Newport.

Depending on the scope of your project, you may need to hire a fully qualified Newport 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 Newport 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 Newport 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 & garden designers: Landscape Contractors, Garden & Landscape Supplies, Tree Services, Lawn & Sprinklers, Decks, Patios, Sheds & Summerhouses.

How do I choose good landscape architects or garden designers in Newport?

When choosing your Newport 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.
