Hardscaping Professionals in Saffron Walden, Essex

“Sam is very helpful and listens to what you actually want and makes sensible suggestions. He can work within your preferred budget. We have used him on a number of occasions and will continue to do so. I would recommend him fully.”

“Vicki is an excellent garden designer. She really listened to the brief I gave her and delivered an exceptionally beautiful garden which is easy to maintain but has all the elements which we requested. It has year round colour and interest - which was not easy to achieve considering that we have really poor soil. She never minded if I vetoed a plant suggestion that she had made and always came up with several more possibilities. We get so much pleasure from our garden now and Vicki continues to provide advice and help. I can't rate her highly enough!”

“Paul possesses a depth of knowledge, a passion and an eye for detail that is second to none. He took our plot (ugly patio, laid to lawn, patchy and moss ridden) and transformed it into a thing of beauty which takes my breath away daily. He listened carefully to our aspirations and made some detailed notes which he then turned into a design upon which a detailed landscape and planting plan was developed for the landscaping team. Paul was onsite regularly throughout the 3 week project and carried out all of the planting himself. He even popped back to meet with us after completion to hand over and give us all the information and tips we need to maintain our new 'living room'. We are already using it more. The different layers and textures integrate to give a feeling of space and tranquility we never had before. The lighting casts shadows on the house and highlights our feature trees and shrubs which we look forward to watching grow. I've always lived my life at 100mph and Paul has given me something I've never had before; a space to relax and a hobby that I can grow into that brings a new element to my life. I whole-heartedly recommend Paul to anyone considering a garden project.”

“Highly knowledgeable about all aspects of planting in the garden. Impressive practical knowledge and skills when it comes to maintenance of a garden, bearing in mind budget implications and restrictions. There is not much Bramley Apple doesn't know about garden design, demonstrating a willingness and skill to research an effective solution to problems such as poor soil, challenging landscapes or difficult areas within the garden. After five years, our garden is maturing into a wonderful space which is used daily and has given us such lasting pleasure. We couldn't have wished for a better design!”

“Mel Driver designed a beautiful garden for our property and oversaw the job from start to finish. The garden looks better every year thanks to her thoughtful design and planting”

Her knowledge and enthusiasm is infectious and I have enjoyed watching the garden grow and emerge into a beautiful space . Totally professional , work was completed on time and worth every penny . Thank you Lucy and Ben”

“Paul Newman Landscapes, have exceeded our expectations with our garden design. Paul and his colleague John were hard working and a pleasure to have around, with their friendly personalities, they were easy to work with and interpreted our design ideas well, they also offered their view points, and their knowledge was invaluable. Paul came over three times prior to work commencing as we change our minds on our design ideas, he was very patient, and came up with fantastic ideas, to transform our space into a healing tranquil place, where my clients can come and relax and re-energize. He fulfilled our brief. I would highly recommend Paula Newman Landscapes.”

“Landscape design service. Great ideas and the end result is fantastic. Hard working and thoroughly professional team. Kept me informed of costs all the way along with no nasty surprises. Very friendly and open to suggestions.”

“Aralia designed and built our small garden, transforming the ragged mish-mash of unplanned year-on-year additions into a more modern space with two water features and plenty of room to sit at various points to admire the planting and the design. Height is achieved through pleached hornbeams, black bamboo (which grows up rather than out) and a crab apple. The illusion of greater space in what is a small garden is provided by the rill and pond and pathways. Distinct planted areas now lead the eye to the flowers and plants. All completed with the minimum fuss and in good time.”

“Fabulous design that has withstood the test of time”
