David and his team recently did an excellent job replacing my dilapidated decking with crisp new porcelain paving. They were efficient and helpful and kept us informed at every stage.

Right from our first meeting it was clear that David has a really creative eye for garden design. His ideas transformed my initial ideas and the final garden is amazing. He’s a pleasure to work with and his team who do all the heavy work are super friendly and hard working. We changed a few things along the way without problems and the final planting of the trees and plants David recommended and sourced is perfect. He also designed and briefed an electrician he works with who was great too. The result is a stunning garden, beyond my expectations!

We are very satisfied with the transformation that David has achieved with our garden. He did a wonderful job of designing and building it and we are delighted with how it has turned out. When we moved into our new house we despaired of the garden which was a scrubby piece of grass with a few overgrown bushes and trees. We wanted a garden that was beautiful but easier to maintain than the mature one we had left after working on it for 40 years. David is an excellent garden designer and he took our ideas and developed them into a modern and practical design that has all the elements we requested, easy access to all areas, raised beds, beautiful borders, trees and being wildlife-friendly. He camouflaged the awkward plot shape enhancing the views and creating a cohesive feel throughout. David was extremely helpful and professional, as were all his staff. He organized all the construction and project management and his experience ensured that any difficulties were overcome. We now have a beautiful and usable space and we are very much looking forward to seeing it develop from month to month. Overall, we couldn't be happier and would highly recommend David Simpson Gardens!

When we bought our house 6 years ago the garden was in a bad state. We did a lot of work stripping it out and were left with a blank canvas. We had lots of ideas and were not entirely sure how to bring them all together so that they would work in our garden. We initially sought David's help with chosing some mature trees which he then sourced and oversaw the planting of. David has since done a full garden design for us which we are due to start work on soon. He has had lots of great ideas whilst listening to how we want to use the garden. David is extremely knowledgable, professional and a really nice guy. He has been a pleasure to work with. We can't wait to see it brought to life.

David is clearly highly qualified in his field and provided us with some exciting and highly creative ideas to develop our garden. The impressive 3D imagery he produced and supplied makes it easy to imagine what might be achieved. He was very professional and a great pleasure to deal with and we are looking forward to engaging him in managing our project later this year.

I have been building David’s garden for the past 5 years. David’s designs are very detailed and precise. All the gardens I’ve built have been very different in their own way. One constant is the high standard of design and plant selection which complements and completes a full garden re- design. I always look forward to working with David on his gardens and it’s always been a seamless build from start to finish. Stephen Robinson Robinsons Landscapes LTD

David has been fantastic in helping us visualise what our garden could become. We told him our key elements and the kind of style we liked and then let him come up with the rest. We were blown away by what he came back with, and the pictures he created really helped us picture what the spaces could become. He is always quick to respond to any queries and also when putting through some changes we requested. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend David!

Highly recommend David for garden designs and managing both hard and soft landscaping work well with his team. His vision and ideas on garden designs have been fantastic. David is also very patient and accommodating as we had several design changes before finalising. He has given alot of time and advice throughout which has been extremely helpful for me and will certainly continue to work with David on future garden work.

David has done a garden design for us an I really enjoyed the process and his approach - he took into consideration our concerns and the parts of the existing garden we wanted to preserve in the new design. He was very helpful with many tips an ideas on planting and alternative solutions to more expensive paving options. Thank you.

David carefully listened to my requirements (designing a fairly low maintenance garden for my elderly disabled mother) and after discussing some basic ideas came up with a design which was simple yet had some contemporary design features. His knowledge on products and suppliers ensured the finished project had a designer quality finish. His team worked well and were considerate to requests from my neighbours. I am pleased with the finished project and look forward to next spring/summer being able to enjoy the beautiful space which he and his team have created.

We have a large irregularly shaped garden. We gave David a brief that we wanted a design that would retain interest with different zones. We also wanted to have fun by mixing formal flowers with the opportunity to grow fruits, vegetables and herbs. We were impressed with the amount of thought, effort and detail that David had put into the design. He came up with some innovative and creative ideas. We are really delighted with the result. Finally, David was really easy to work with. He was so enthusiastic and obliging. No request was too much effort and the designs were all produced on time. We would really recommend him if you need to appoint a top quality garden designer.

We found David on the internet and am so glad we did so. Having had some quotes for laying a path which had to work around 2 large shrubs, David was the only person who actually took time to think about how it could be designed, as opposed to just laying the path up the middle of the garden. And that was before even a quote was given. We went with his ideas, including using stepping stones which I wasnt initially keen on and are so glad we did. In fact we were so pleased with the lawn/beds and stepping stones that we then asked for our large patio area to be repaved with new flowerbeds ! Antonio and the other men were also great- very courteous, friendly and easy to have about. So a five star experience from us!

David was able to create a wonderful back garden that incorporated what both my husband and I wanted - a separate space for the children complete with an area for a fire pit, an entranceway via an arbor that doubled as a swing set and a large deck within a smallish space without it feeling cramped. His plant knowledge was extremely helpful when trying to decide on what to put in. He is courteous and realistic too.

We found David on the internet. We used to have a big pond and a small patio in the back garden. We would like something clean with more space for our children to play and to have friends around. David understood exactly what we wanted. We are very happy and we have spending more time outside now. He helped us with our driveway as well. David is a excellent profissional and a really nice person. I highly recommend him. Now we are going to have his help with the plants. Thank you so much David. Viviane

When my husband and i moved into our first house, a few months ago, we loved the fact that we had a small garden but had no idea what to do with it. We decided to get help and interviewed a few landscapers, David was the who stood out. From the moment he walked in, he was able to envision what would work best with the space, he took the time to talk to us and really understand what it was that we wanted. He made all the shopping and made sure all the plants were from the highest quality and while working here, him and his assistant were quick and very professional. The garden looks better that what we expected. Thank you David!

David helped take our garden from an overgrown, untidy, and badly planned mess, to a fantastic space that we love spending time in. From the outset, the process was smooth and we were kept fully informed. David and his team were always on time, and worked incredibly hard over a few weeks to transform our garden. We particularly liked that David really bought into our ideas, and with his own expertise and knowledge really brought to life our vision, adding in his own touches. We would highly recommend David.

David and his team were first class in organising our small garden project from planning to conception. Everything was organised in a timely manner and the garden was successfully completed in two stages in June and July. A vast collection of plants was available for us to choose from with advice and flexibility offered. The project was completed to our total satisfaction in early July.

We hired David to transform the tiny unloved back garden and ramshackle front garden that we inherited with our new house. Having contacted a few landscape gardeners, David was the most responsive and passionate. He really cares about the details - which is something that was important to us too. He listened to the brief, made good suggestions for hard and soft landscaping, and his team - particularly Rafael - really worked hard, taking great care in their work and our house after what must have been 100s of trips through with wheelbarrows! I would highly recommend, we love the transformation of our spaces!

David did a fantastic job of designing our new garden. He was flexible around the needs of a larger renovation project and had some great ideas, particularly around the choice of plants and trees which would suit our garden. We found him personable and approachable throughout. In addition , his contractor Raphael was very hard working , professional and took pride in his work. We are very happy with the final result and love our new garden!

David was incredibly helpful throughout our project. He took time to hear what we wanted and tailored an individual solution to our garden based on our requirements. He was professional, friendly and courteous and when a few issues arose he dealt with them straight away. The project was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, which were not his fault, but he maintained good communication and as soon as things were able to get moving again he finished the job well. `The garden was transformed and looks amazing so we are really pleased with the result. I would definitely recommend him.

We saw a local garden that David had designed and we really liked it so we asked him to do ours. It's a small area of lawn with planting beds and David was thoughtful and knowledgeable in his approach. He came up with lots of suggestions and sent us images to choose which trees and flowers we liked. Very efficient service and the garden has been transformed.

We asked David Simpson Garden Design to help us revamp our gardens (back and front). We were about to put our house on the market, and the gardens needed a revamp. We were generally lacking plants and any structure to the layout but we didn't want to spend a fortune. Dave recommended we needed to purchase a selection of new plants for the beds, and add some planters with box balls for a contemporary feel. He co-ordinated this and sent me pictures from the nursery with all the plants. He then proceeded to transform our gardens within 24 hours! We can't thank Dave enough and would highly recommend him. He was efficient, communicated exactly what he was going to do, and made it happen. We have just accepted an offer on the house!

I hired David Simpson to redesign our small London garden from scratch - both hard and soft landscaping. We discussed the kind of use we wanted to get from the garden and the style which we wanted with David. He then submitted designs which showed a very inventive and thoughtful use of the space. David then project managed the hard landscaping of the garden. He recommended the builder and negotiated a reasonable price. We were thrilled with the job the builder Stephen Robinson carried out. Everything was completed promptly and to budget to a very high standard. David then designed a planting schemeto complement the new garden design. He clearly has a very strong feel for shape and colour and he left us with a beautifully designed and executed patio garden, with sympathetic planting, and ideally suited to our needs. I would recommend him without reservation.

I found David to have a good knowledge of indigenous plants, he interpreted my vision well and was a pleasure to work with. The garden has grown into itself and I am very happy with the outcome.
