We contracted with Rob in the 3rd quarter of 2018 to produce designs for both our front drive and extensive rear garden. Rob has at all times been responsive and quick to help, even with the most minor of details. Upon an initial selection of designs for both the front and the rear, rob moved to complete a well thought out and detailed planting scheme. The front garden consisted of producing a novel design using Marshall's block paving to fit in with a single attractive existing tree which we wished to keep. The rear garden was completely reworked including a large entertaining area made from Millboard in front of bifold doors, corten steel panels, a pergola, a sunk pond, a central area which can be used for additional entertaining and finally a formal grassed area bounded by pleached trees. We had difficulties with 6 of the initial bare root ball pleached trees which failed. Rob made extensive efforts to support us with the supplier in replacing these trees along with our landscape gardeners who replaced them for us without additional cost. I would happily recommend Rob and I am very pleased with our choice of hiring a separate designer to landscaper.

I am delighted with my new garden, designed by Rob Frier from Charlesworth Design. Rob really listened to me and my requirements and has been really helpful during the construction of the garden. His experience and knowledge are very evident in all aspects of his work. My garden has been totally transformed, and I’m looking forward to seeing it grow.

We've recently had a garden design from Rob. We could not be happier with the way it's turned out. We had some tricky problems to resolve including replanting in a honey fungus infected plot. Rob listened to our hopes about how the garden would work and then created something that is way beyond what we could have even conceived. The ability to see a potential in a space and then mould that around our thoughts and his expertise is fantastic. We would strongly recommend him for any future project.

We have recently had our front garden redeveloped. We are very pleased with the result. The new garden was designed by Robert Frier of Charlesworth design. Robert was very helpful throughout the project. He has very wide knowledge regarding garden design and was always approachable and professional with us. We would recommend his company without hesitation. Have tried to upload before and after photos but not sure if this has been successful

Rob gave us an excellent design that fulfilled everything we have wanted for our garden. He took on board all our requirements and has exceeded our expectations - we now have a fabulous family space which will be well used. He also referred us to excellent garden contractors in Green Vision. Many thanks Rob for our beautiful family garden.

Great work undertaken for our community sports and social club. Rob gave us four options to consider, and clearly explained the basis of these. He delivered the preferred option with more details sufficient for us to obtain competitive quotes. Work is expected to be undertaken in early 2018. Sketch provided is the Club's interpretation of Rob's design.

I worked with Rob on my garden redesign in Knutsford. It was a fabulous experience - Rob really listened to what I wanted as well as contributing many ideas and thoughts of his own. Then presented four different options, all of which would have been great but loved his three intersecting circle idea. A designer who really listens to his clients and preferences. After the design he helped to find a contractor and worked with them on the final planting. Highly recommended !

We engaged Rob Frier of Charlesworth Design to reconfigure from scratch the small square garden at the rear of our end terrace after we had had an extension constructed. Prior to engaging Rob the eye of the observer was naturally drawn to the gate immediately opposite the back of the house. Rob's design was inspirational in concept and awesome in reality. He had the brilliant idea of angling the steps down into the garden and of creating gabion seating and a light box on the left of the garden and of rotating the lawn through 45 degrees. This, together with his selection and positioning of plants, has entirely refocussed the structure and delivered a relaxing and adorable space with which we are truly thrilled.

Thanks for that David, but good garden designers cant exist without the input of good landscapers to realise their designs

We purchased a semi-detached Victorian House in Warrington just before Christmas last year, There was a front garden on the corner of a busy junction surrounded by tall hedges. There was large - concrete - pebble dash garage with corrugated roof erected in the garden that was extremely ugly. Rob Frier, of Charlesworth design - met with us to understand the type of garden space we were looking for. The main challenge was to make the garage disappear and create new lines of sight that were attractive. We also wanted to increase the level of privacy - being overlook at key points. Rob visited the site and also considered all the different views of the garden. The end design used a creative trellising, a custom designed pergola, a floating wood fence above a yew hedge and some attractive simple paths edged with brick. The project took three weeks to construct and Rob also organised the planting plan from scratch with some wonderful blend of colours. The end result is a complete transformation and Rob's advice on the contractor and their creative dialogues during the project created some great pragmatic solutions. We were delighted with Rob's professional and creative approach throughout the project and are enjoying the end result.

Commented: Just wanted to say I loved the compositionThanks for that Caroline, yes I too like it, the trick here I think is to keep it to the bare minimum. Less is more!

Commented: what are the border shrubs?Yes they like fairly fertile but well drained soil in full sun. The variety you saw was 'Hidcote' which spreads just over 2ft (75cm) Good luck
