About Us

I am a garden designer based in Watton-At-Stone, a small village in rural Hertfordshire. I like gardens that fit into their surroundings and which, no matter how big or small, provide an almost sacred space for people to withdraw from everyday life and renew themselves.

Helene Garden Design are an absolute pleasure to work. Helene really listened to our ‘huge remit’ but we also gave her the opportunity to offer her own perspective of what would suit our very challenging landscape aspects! She had a substantial sized blank canvas to work with which offered many exciting ideas that we could consider. Attention to detail / knowledge are all to Helene’s credit and we have had many compliments since the landscaping work was completed in late Spring 2023. We will continue to work with Helene and value her opinions as to how our garden can establish itself as the years go by. Thank you Helene for all your hard work and creativity

Would not recommend. Extortionate charge for little output. Wouldn’t listen to feedback. Extremely disappointing.

Hi Ms Sethi,

It is disappointing that this hasn't worked out for either of us.

But I would like to add a little more context to this review. I was very transparent with my fee and costs at every stage in the process and how they affected your budget.
You chose to terminate the contract early so I have only charged you for the work that was completed up to that point.

I would have been happy to continue working with you and incorporating your and your sister in laws feedback, however you said you wanted to stop working with me so there was no time to incorporate your feedback.

If anyone would like to see the '"little output" that was produced by me for your project, they can get in touch with me and I will show them the survey, concept design, visualisations, mood board and presentation.

I highly recommend Helene for garden design and on site maintenance. We found her to extremely warm, knowledgeable and had really felt she got our vision. From the intial meeting to the final planting she was nothing but professional and months later she is happy to answer my planting relating questions. If you're looking to redesign your garden look no further!

Helene is lovely to work with and produced a beautiful design for our garden. Our project was for a back garden with a large steep slope that needed a retaining wall. The wall was our main challenge as we needed a solution that wasn’t one 6ft block but also didn’t take up too much space in the garden. Helene provided a design with staggered sections of wall using different materials and lots of areas for planting that worked really well together and we never would’ve thought of ourselves. She also created some lovely areas in the rest of the garden, in what we previously thought of as dead space. Helene was super clear on the process and pricing upfront, flexible during the project, and generally very helpful.

Ravin Soobadoo

Used Helenes design expertise to completely transform our garden into a multifunctional, tropical contemporary living space, including outdoor bar and kitchen. The design and build has given us a completely stunning and unique garden incorporating all of the aspects we had briefed as our requirements. Certainly a space we will be using to its full extent throughout the year, and also looks stunning at night with the lighting plan and the bespoke water feature specified by Helene. Helene worked closely with us to understand our brief and delivered a fabulous design which we are so happy with

Helene did a great job of re-designing our garden - which includes some challenging elements. She came up with ideas that were aesthetically pleasing but still practical. Helene was a pleasure to work with, really listening to our wishes but adding value with her design expertise. Highly recommend.

Helene’s design transformed our garden making it now a wonderful place to be and relax. We are delighted with the outcome, which has brought new vitality and use to different areas of the garden, and found working with Helene through the process to be very easy. She is full of great ideas and wise advice and a lovely and truly professional person to deal with.

Helena has been a pleasure to work with and has transformed our garden in terms of both planting and hardscaping. Helena listens and quickly translates what you want from your garden into a practical solution that delivers the wow factor. Having lived in our house for 30 years, we are noticing since the garden redesign how many people visiting the property say what a lovely home you have and that can't be a coincidence of timing. Helena is very professional, extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. We look forward to continuing to work with her as we develop the garden further. Chris & Sue

Helene was fantastic from start to finish. She listened to our ideas and preferences, and her design was creative and interesting. She followed through to make sure everything was completed to a high quality. She's an excellent communicator and was a pleasure to work with throughout.

Alicja Piotrowska

Helene is a wonderful garden designer. Form the moment she walked into my home I felt an instant connection with her. She has been able to understand the look I wanted and most importantly the feel of the garden I was looking for. I didn’t know anything about plants, I knew how I wanted to feel in my garden and Helene understood that and delivered a design that was pretty much spot on within a short space of time. She has been extremely patient with my various questions as I deals with the builders or when I asked about what to do with this plant or when to trim the tree etc. I worked with other designers but it was Helene who is the most genuine and authentic designer I have ever met. Thank you

Jodi

It was an absolute joy working with Helene. From the moment we were in touch Helene was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Helene provided a consultancy service to help me continue and complete my garden. When I gave her an idea of what I was trying to achieve and where I'd gotten to so far she gave me an incredible list of suggestion and lots of wonderful advice, walking around my garden with me giving me lots of handy tips and hints on looking after it. Incredibly passionate, helpful and with a good eye for style, Helene's service exceeded my expectation and above all gave me the confidence to get back into the garden and finish my project. I'll definitely be keeping in touch and calling on Helene again.
