Featured Reviews for Newport, Isle of Wight Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

Simon Orchard Garden Design

Newport, Isle of Wight Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

27 November 2016

“I used Simon to design the front and back garden of my Victorian London terrace house. I can't rate him highly enough, from the initial meeting where he listened to what I was after through to the designs, ideas and tendering process, he was professional throughout and a joy to work with. Having used a different company before on another project, I would always go back to Simon now. The final result looks amazing and my wife and I are very very happy with it.”

Elks-Smith Landscape and Garden Design

Newport, Isle of Wight Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

25 August 2016

“Helen Elks-Smith came to visit our garden on a very rainy day. After quite a long discussion on what we wanted to achieve, she then sat outside for almost two hours trying to understand what she could do to make our garden work within the harbour surroundings. She produced some initial drawings and made several suggestions that we had not considered and inevitably expanded the scope of what we were trying to do. Helen then arranged for other Companies to come in and build the garden and do the planting out. She made frequent visits along the way to make sure that everything was right for us. It was more than alright it was absolutely superb and she managed to interpret everything that we wanted and created an absolute triumph. We are truly delighted with what she and her Company have created, a legacy for the future.”

Neil Jones Design

Newport, Isle of Wight Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

17 August 2016

“It was a pleasure to work with Neil who was able to bring our project design in within budget - despite it being tight - and well and truly exceeded our expectations. We had a basic idea of what we wanted but Neil brought flair and creativity to the design of our small, tired space. A year on and the garden is blossoming. We are so happy we chose Neil Jones Design, the neighbours have asked for his details.”

Wiles Gardens

Newport, Isle of Wight Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

12 January 2021

“Wiles gardens have looked after our garden for a few years and we could not be more pleased with them. They are knowledgable and creative about plants and maintenance and on the odd occasion that hard planting works have been required they are entirely competant. They are pleasant, reliable and professional.”

Andy Stedman Design

Newport, Isle of Wight Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

20 October 2016

“We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Andy Stedman Design, we could not be happier with the garden he designed and built for us. Andy worked with us to produce the initial design. He very quickly understood our requirements and produced a fabulous design that both met with the constraints of the plot and our exacting needs. We were then further impressed by Andy's post-design planning. He was able to demonstrate to us the process that would take us from the initial design through to completion. It was very professional and gave us complete confidence that he could deliver the garden of our dreams. Andy's landscaping team then carried out the works. Andy remained closely involved in the project on at least a daily basis, and he project managed extremely well. His team were friendly, respectful and polite, and a pleasure to have on site. The garden is complete now and is outstanding and I doubt very much that we would have achieved such an excellent result from another supplier. Andy's attention to detail was outstanding and ensured a quality of delivery that was far above anything we have experienced in the past. Andy Stedman Design gets the highest recommendation that we could possibly give to anyone. We wouldn't hesitate using them again. Martin and Marian Orchard-Webb Rousillon Park Chichester”

Janet Bligh Garden Designs

Newport, Isle of Wight Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

29 August 2016

“Working with Janet was a really enjoyable experience. She was very good at taking time to understand our specific tastes and requirements. She came up with clear design principles, which developed into a thoughtful structure, accompanied by a well-planned planting scheme. Janet engaged thoroughly, discussing options, not foisting ideas on us, and she was great in making clear all the practical considerations. Janet has created a special garden that has quickly matured into a beautiful space that we love and enjoy every single day.”

Mark Payne Landscape Design

Newport, Isle of Wight Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

5 April 2016

“Just had our second garden finished by Mark and the team. If you want a garden which is really creative and definitely unique, these are the people to design and build one for you. Can't wait for the summer to show off and enjoy my new garden.”

Uplands Garden Design

Newport, Isle of Wight Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

30 January 2019

“Patsy designed an awkward area of our garden from scratch, coming up with a really elegant and usable solution which we love. She recommended a landscape gardener to lay paving and paths, came up with a planting design which brought colour to a drab corner, and was on-hand to check progress throughout. She is professional, knowledgable and thorough, and has great taste. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending to her to anyone who needs a total design, planting help, or any horticultural advice!”

Jilly Cook Garden Design

Newport, Isle of Wight Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

9 October 2016

“We asked Jilly Cook to create designs for our main garden, kitchen garden and the area at the front of the house. She really listened to our brief and took on board everything that we were looking for from our outdoor space. Jilly came up with beautiful, creative designs that totally captured our requirements. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for an individual, personally tailored approach to garden design.”

CK Garden Design

Newport, Isle of Wight Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

21 December 2016

“We decided to stay in our family house after the kids had gone but we wanted to take better use of the garden which had become unmanageable and slightly disconnected from the house. We have worked with Colin over a twelve month period to really turn the house and garden around. it is now a real added value to the house. Also very pleased with the way Colin was prepared to listen to our thoughts and even when they were directly opposite to his thoughts always came up with the happy compromise.”

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

Depending on the scope of your project, you may need to hire a fully qualified Newport, Isle of Wight 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, Isle of Wight 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, Isle of Wight 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 Newport, Isle of Wight?

When choosing your Newport, Isle of Wight 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.
