It was a delight to have Nigel come round and propose new designs for our garden. Whilst the intial brief was to plan three, large, beds, he went well beyond that brief and has made us think very differently about how our garden will look and work. He was not afraid to challenge our thinking but did so with much charm and a smile! We are now preparing to impliment his recommendations and are very excited about seeing the results. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nigel.

We were impressed with how Nigel was able to discern what we wanted, and come up with a plan that delivered our requirements as well as incorporating some aspects that we hadn't considered. He was also very encouraging in taking our time to achieve our design and not putting ourselves under pressure to complete it all in one go. Would highly recommend.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable and productive day with Nigel and are delighted with the final plan. He was professional, attentive to our preferences and suggested solutions we would never have thought of. We would recommend him to others looking for fresh ideas and some hand-holding through the entire process. His final plan was sufficiently detailed for contractors to quote against. We can’t wait to see our new garden take shape now!

Fantastic service from Nigel. We are very pleased with the end design, one we would not have thought of without Nigel's input but makes best use of the space we have. Really enjoyed the full day design experience and the end product is very professional.

Very pleased with the survey, which was undertaken in a speedy professional manner. Even more impressed with the design ideas and the drawings. Can highly recommend One-to-One Garden design and look forward to getting the landscapers quote, in order to agree and start date for the work.

If you book with Nigel, you won’t be disappointed. He shared a wealth of knowledge, where appropriate and the provided the creativity input we were hoping for and ever so lacking. No rushing, but equally no delaying. Super pleasant company and great workmanship. Highly recommended!

Nigel helped me with a planting plan for my garden. I measured up my area, sent sketches and photos to Nigel and then we had a long zoom call to talk through what I wanted, and then Nigel went away to draw up and finalise the plans. He shared the plans with me by PDF and on A1 paper posted to my home. I had a general idea of what I wanted but I really valued Nigel’s specific suggestions around plant choices. And he had some important guidance on the use of repetition in the planting plan to bring coherence to the whole area. Overall Nigel’s input has given me the confidence to get started with a project that was long overdue and which will definitely end up looking better for his input!

Thank you Rachel. I wasn't quite sure how this remote designing would work but between us we seemed to have cracked it. Send some photos over when you have reached a suitable stage in the project.

We contacted Nigel and left a message on his phone , He called back swiftly and explained what he could do for the small project we had of landscaping our roof terrace. I sent him some Photos and with in a few days we had a zoom call to see and discuss his designs. Having agreed a few minor amendments he sent us a color hard A3 copy with all the information we needed. Now all we have to do is implement his plans! Thank you Nigel Justin and Vivienne Lewes

We called Nigel to help us work out a plan for a particularly unloved, dark and murky north-facing townhouse backyard. In just half a day, he pulled together a masterplan for us to take to our contractor to put into practice. A pleasure to work with - friendly; creative; passionate; solution-oriented and extraordinarily efficient.

Thanks Hector. Good luck with the build and if there are any questions you have I'd be glad to answer them.

I called in Nigel after looking at his website and reading the excellent reviews. Our front garden is in a mid terrace Edwardian house and I had attempted couple of designs myself. However, I wanted a professional to come along and show me something that I would never have been able to come up with myself. Nigel's many years of experience was used to design a stunning garden plan which meet my criteria 100%. At the moment we are at the planning stage only, as we are having the front of the house repaired and decorated next spring. Based on the advise that Nigel gave during his visit, and the imaginative final plan I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone considering a redesign of their garden-however small.

My wife and I hired Nigel recently to design a new back garden for our house. His 1-2-1 service is fantastic and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new garden space. The resulting plans are extremely well presented and we couldn't be happier with the result.

Thank you Joshua,
It was a tricky slope but I think we have made good use of it.
Nick I'm sure will do a good job in building it. Nigel
