Roeder Landscape Design Ltd
Stockbridge, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers
18 Sep 2014
“We have employed the services of Luke from Roeder Landscapes over the past two years in planting up new beds, a small orchard and for lawn maintenance We are very happy with the results. His designs took full consideration of our ideas and built on these with further options taking into account soil conditions and aspect. Great attention was paid to bed preparation prior to planting which ensured the best growing conditions. Work was carried out efficiently with the minimum of fuss. He is now in the process of planting a wild flower meadow for us.”
Karen Rogers at KR Garden Design
Stockbridge, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers
9 Aug 2015
“Karen, the designer at KR Designs turned my small unpromising London Garden from an unappealing 'car park' into a beautiful courtyard sanctuary. It involved a lot of structural work with new London stock bricks and paving. The work was carried out without a hitch and completed on schedule and her ideas and input transformed the space. Her horticultural knowledge is impressive and her plant selection was perfect. I would recommend her company to anyone.”

“We contacted Adam to advise us on some garden improvements after seeing him appear on Gardner's World where he talked about formal gardens. We were not disappointed as he helped us with a blueprint design and his knowledge was excellent and his attention to detail really shone through. We will be using him to carry out the work in the near future and look forward to becoming one of his many clients.”
Simon Orchard Garden Design
Stockbridge, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

“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.”
Neil Jones Design
Stockbridge, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers
17 Aug 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.”
Isobel Spandler Garden & Interior Design
Stockbridge, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers
21 Feb 2016
“I have a very small garden and honestly didn't think much could be done with it. Isobel managed to design the most incredible space and it looks absolutely fantastic. I cannot wait to see it throughout the seasons and utilise every inch of it. We even managed to incorporate a potting shed within the garden as well as a bit of lawn, gorgeous boarders and a seating area that will have the sun in the summer evenings. It is truly a joy to look at now and I just had no idea it would turn out as beautiful as it did.”
Amy Perkins Garden Design
Stockbridge, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers
30 Jul 2015
“Amy created a garden about 5 years ago for our new house in the country on a difficult sloping site. She is the perfect designer, listening to the client and producing both design and planting plans that complement the house and incorporate the client's thoughts. The planting has taken account of the soil and site conditions and continues to thrive. The garden has evolved over the 5 years and Amy continues to give advice where needed and encouragement where plants mis-behave. Amy is adaptable, professional and a delight to work with. We would have no hesitation in recommending her.”
Bramley Apple Garden Design
Stockbridge, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers
15 Mar 2018
“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!”
Janet Bligh Garden Designs
Stockbridge, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers
29 Aug 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.”

“Gill was wonderful to work with. We described what we wanted and Gill's designs were not just visually stunning but also in granular detail (as confirmed by Landscaper). Gill also managed through the project with our Landscaper and took ownership of the end to end project. This included recommending, supplying and planting all the plants. Gill worked well with the Landscaper, the Electrician and other sub contractors. Great work Gill highly recommended.”

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 Stockbridge, Hampshire.

Depending on the scope of your project, you may need to hire a fully qualified Stockbridge, Hampshire 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 Stockbridge, Hampshire 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 Stockbridge, Hampshire 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 Stockbridge, Hampshire?


When choosing your Stockbridge, Hampshire 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.
