Heather Dale Garden Design

We have just enjoyed the most wonderful spring and summer in our new garden. After working with Heather through some changes to the original design, we are delighted with the outcome. Heather used most of the shrubs and trees we had already to fill in the borders and introduced beautiful new herbaceous plants. It has been a pleasure watching the garden come to life.

Heather has transformed my garden and given me a framework for future works. I had an overgrown area that had been neglected for decades and didn't know where to start with it. Heather carried out a thorough review, discussed my preferences, and came up with plans for immediate and future works, Heather sourced plants that arrived in excellent condition and have absolutely taken off, providing something new every week. I am really looking forward to seeing what the next few years bring in my garden and have a new enthusiasm for it. I hope I will be bringing Heather back for future phases of my garden.

We knew nothing about plants, however Heather listened to our high level ideas, and what we wanted from the garden. Using a system of reviewing many pictures of plants, gardens and various scenes we formed an inital set of rquiremnts and plant types. From there, very detailed planting, layout and maintenance plans were created and were used by the builders and planters. We wanted a garden that was not too structured and the focus to be on the plants themselves; the result is a beautiful garden that far exceeds our expectaions. Follow up questions and advice has been equally superb. Heather's impressive depth of knowledge on all things plants, ideas and creativity made this an easy and enjoyable process. We would highly recommend Heather's services.

We used Heather to help redesign our garden. She provided a fantastic service, giving inspiration and new ideas in spades! As well as suggesting lots of interesting plants that matched the 'feel' we were after, she sourced and organised delivery for us too. She also provided lots of handy hints and tips for general upkeep. We would highly recommend Heather to anyone who is seeking a little inspiration or a complete garden overhaul.

Heather created a beautiful, unique and thoughtful garden design for us complete with detailed construction notes and comprehensive planting schemes. She organised a contractor for us and did an excellent job project managing from start to finish and was always on hand with trusted help and advice. I am delighted with the finished garden and have no hesitation in highly recommending Heather!

After moving into a brand new house with only earth and a patio in the garden, we sought Heather’s help on the recommendation of a friend. Heather visited the site and listened to our wishes and likes then came up with a beautiful design that featured curved lawns, paths, a rockery and pergola. The trees and shrubs were suited to our location and orientation and ordered by Heather and delivered to the door. We wished to undertake the work ourselves and Heather was happy with this and popped in occasionally to see how things were going and suggested people to help where we needed it. All in all this was a pleasant experience and we are looking forward to underplanting with our favourite small plants in the spring.

I recommend Heather most highly. Our garden is a joy every day because Heather designed it to look good throughout the four seasons of the year. She listened to our wishes and made them come true. She worked well with the landscaper too. Now, we are into our second year, we are still delighted with what the garden offers every day. We had a new build house and a plot of grass. Heather was recommended by friends of ours. She was undaunted by our challenge and came up with a wonderful brief. We knew we would only do this once so we went for the best. The beautiful garden compliments our beautiful house. Thank you Heather.

Heather listened to what I wanted to change in my back garden and what I wanted to keep. Her design gave me exactly what I was looking for within my budget. The pack she produced with the plans, computer generated views from multiple angles really brought the plan to life. Her maintenance tips for the chosen plants is invaluable for a novice gardener like myself. I was so delighted with the finished result that Heather had now produced plans for my front garden which I am really excited to get done. I would definitely recommend Heather if you are looking for help with your garden.

Heather Dale Garden design transformed the front garden of our property. Heather worked closely with us on this project and advised us on various aspects of design. We would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Heather worked really hard to understand what we were looking for in our garden re-design. Talking with each of us, and our children, she was able to reflect what we wanted in a design that is impactful, easy-to-maintain, and looks stunning all year round. Combining lighting, paving, a bespoke pergola and swing combination and a great selection of trees and shrubs we're really happy with the result. Strongly recommended.

Heather listened very carefully to my brief as I wanted to create a woodland garden. She designed my garden so it looks completely natural and in keeping with the landscape. Her expertise lies not only in her design, but her in-depth knowledge of plants. She creates planting schemes that have varied colour, texture and all year round interest and sources the right particular species and size for your garden at wholesale prices. Her dedication is an inspiration.

I was first drawn to Heather by the colour and style of some of the gardens she has designed. She brought great ideas to me along with a vast knowledge of plants suitable for NE Scotland. After a few reiterations we got to the design I wanted. Her work methodology and attention to detail really stood out. The project cost was reasonable and came in within my budget and overall I think very good value.
