Creating Beautiful, Usable Gardens in London
page_type: prop_plus_profile
Kate Eyre Garden Design is a creative and innovative garden design company working in London. We create beautiful, usable gardens, with a strong sense of colour and style, and for a wide range of properties and budgets. Our planting is original and exemplary, and designed to stimulate your senses throughout the year. We are passionate in our belief that the style of your garden should reflect that of your house, so that life may flow easily from one to the other.
We will begin your garden design by meeting you to discuss your intended use of the garden, and your desired look and level of maintenance. We will then create two designs, so that different options can be discussed and evaluated. Once the design is finalised, we will provide a firm quotation broken down for labour, construction, basic materials and plants.
Our professional team can offer you a complete garden service, from consultation and design through to installation. If you would like, we can also arrange professional maintenance for your garden.

Highly recommend Kate and her entire team. From our first meeting with Kate to discuss a garden design to the completion of the project, everyone we were in contact with was friendly and helpful and the whole project took much less time than we expected and yet was well withing our planned budget! Any question, no matter how small, was immediately taken into account. The actual work only took 3 weeks, much to our delight. The finished garden is even lovelier than I imagined it would be and full of the colors I wanted. Even in these current dreary, rainy days, the garden is beautiful and restful.

We loved Kate Eyre from the first time we met her. She came up with a wonderful design for our small outdoor space which has made it feel four times as big as before! She listened to what we needed and liked and came up with ideas we would have never have thought of. Using epspelier apple trees to create a natural wall, and different types of flooring for different ‘zones’ are examples. The planting is manageable and in keeping with our style and the raised beds and built in bench structure works so well. Neighbours have called it ‘magnificent’ and ‘exceptional’

Kate and her team designed the back third of our rear garden to include a raised bed around two sides of a paved circular seating area. They also erected a shed which is fully kitted out inside with shelves and other storage systems to suit our particular needs. The raised bed is imaginatively planted to give all your round interest. The quality of the circular cobbled area is superb - a real work of art.
Kate and her team listened to what we wanted and helped us improve our vision with their suggestions. The very professional work they have done has transformed our garden and is a daily pleasure.

Kate Eyre and her team carried out a professional and creative job. My garden is now full of beautiful plants that flower all year round. I have a flat, green lawn and enough paving for my table and chairs and some comfy sofas. I am very happy with the result and I recommend Kate to everyone who comes round to the house and can't believe the transformation.

Kate and her team designed and planted a beautiful front garden for us, which included a bike/bin store with a green roof. We are delighted with the end result. Kate also extended the patio in the back garden, built an outdoor kitchen with pergola, that we absolutely love, and planted a herb and cut flower garden. Very friendly, hard-working staff, excellent workmanship and all snagging completed to our satisfaction. It is almost a year since the gardens were redesigned and they look as stunning as they did when they were first completed. A big thank you to Kate and her team!

Kate Eyre designed a stunning garden for us: beautifully laid out, thoughtfully planted, and easy to maintain. The design is innovative without being fussy, and all our requirements were not only met but exceeded. Kate suggested things we wouldn't have thought of, and embellished our original stipulations. The initial consultation was efficient, the builders incredibly hard-working and accommodating, and the garden was completely to time and to budget. I would have no hesitation recommending Kate and her team extremely warmly.

Kate designed and built a beautiful front garden for us. She was able to incorporate our practical requirements (car & bike parking/bin store) into a design which looks good all year round. Two years later the front garden is still looking lovely. Kate spent a lot of time with us working on the design until we were ready to proceed. Her team were a pleasure to work with and I would absolutely recommend them.

Kate designed the most beautiful garden for us at our house in Dulwich. It not only looked beautiful initially and has continued to develop and improves as its matured. She was also clever enough to make it work in all seasons with there always being something to enjoy. She and her team were a delight to work with and I couldn't fault a thing.

Kate provides very good practical advice on all aspects of garden design, from the hard landscaping to the plant selection. She oversees the project very well and employs a great team of people. The ideas she comes up with are creative and always interesting and she is very adaptable - working with the client and their budget, adding in extras such as irrigation systems if the client wishes but if there is a budget to stick to, then such 'add ons' can easily be left off the final design. I would recommend her.

The quality of the work produced by this company is terrible and my entire garden is going to have to be redone after not even one year (and having paid a fortune).
Kate Eyre pitched the project (saying that only her dedicated "team" would be used) and then disappeared; there was absolutely NO quality control regarding the construction of the garden/works and Kate failed to to properly think about all the issues required to be addressed before construction began. Once the harm was done, Kate refused to accept full responsibility for the mistakes and re-do the work. A few examples:
(1) she failed to recommend the need to install an irrigation mechanism - which given the nature of the works (total removal of what was there before), would have been easy and inexpensive. It turns out the plants and tree also need constant irrigation. She never mentioned this to be the case;
(2) she failed to take proper measurements of the bin cage, which meant the plant behind it had to be cut because it was in the way of the opening the top of the bin cage, resulting in an asymetrical design (two plants of different sizes by the front door) which looks awful (see picture below). Kate refused to re-do the cage and instead cut the tree!
(3) she failed to account for the need to install hydraulic arms to open both tops of the bin cage and prevent the tops of the cage (which are very heavy and dangerous) from crashing down; when she finally acknowledged this was needed, the installation was done so poorly that the entire bin cage was damaged;
(4) the people she employs, supervision and the materials used are sub-standard: her painter smoked inside our paint-can filled garage whilst painting (a hazard) and also painted in the rain. When Kate was challenged on the the impact this would have on the quality of the paint job, she tried to argue that because the paint was "water proof", it was totally acceptable to paint in the rain and that no harm would result... unsuprisingly, within two weeks the paint was already peeling off the bin cage!
(5) the walls that were built were falling apart within 6 weeks of having been completed. Despite having been redone on two occasions, the walls are crumbling one year after having been built. I understand from others that the the wrong (cheap) materials were used;
(6) the metal fence that was installed required multiple requests to be installed properly, as they refused to insert all the necessary screws to hold the fence in place;
(7) primers were also not used to protect the fence, and as a result, the fence is rusting and will need to be redone;
(8) we also requested a flowering Magnolia tree; Kate instead provided us with an immature (cheaper) tree that she says will "eventually" flower.
Kate barely showed up on site to check the work her crew was doing, and despite the visibly shoddy and inadequate work, she refused to accept responsibility for her work / damage. Avoid at all costs.
