North Leeds Garden Design

Having had a one day consultation with Sarah, we were highly impressed with the depth of knowledge and ability to understand our requirements, a long with the overall professionalism she demonstrated. Would recommend the service without hesitation!

Sarah took my wants and needs into account and produced a lovely design for my north facing back garden. I've really enjoyed my garden this summer and can't wait to see it next spring and summer when the plants will have matured a little more and it will have all 'filled out'. A really nice experience working with Sarah.

A pleasure to deal with such a friendly and professional garden designer. We were fully consulted at every stage and kept up to date with progress. Not easy with supply chain problems. We would highly recommend them. The Davies

We required a refresh and some help for our small and shaded back garden and a few ideas for the front to brighten it up and ensure it is more usable for us and invited Anabelle back several years after she did the initial planting plan when we first moved in. She and Sarah first sent us a crib sheet of what we wanted most from the garden to complete and then a few weeks later completed a site visit to measure up and combined with a couple of Zooms we discussed the finer details such as how much we wanted to do now and and in the future to maintain, the things that the garden lacks now and what colours and themes we liked and most importantly how we would actually want to use the garden and what budget we had. The plans were exactly the inspiration we were looking for and we can't wait for a full growing year to see how the whole project blends and what else we can ourselves through the next few years.

Amazing! I cannot recommend Sarah enough. She designed 2 gardens for me. Both were stunning. I cannot wait to wake up each morning and watch it change over the weeks. It is fantastic throughout the year. We got married in our garden and Sarah made sure it looked absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend them.

I have no hesitation in recommending NLGD. Sarah listened carefully to our wishes and incorporated them into the designs for the fairly small front garden. The plans were carefully thought through, imaginative and evidenced an underlying love of plants. She adhered to the set budget. She was approachable, reliable and monitored progress to completion. Communication was excellent. Thank you Sarah and North Leeds Garden Design.

I knew that North Leeds Garden Design were right for me when I received their questionnaire. It was reassuring to feel that Annabel and Sarah set out to understand my needs, and how I might live in the space. My outdoor space is a little awkward, being 2 north-facing balconies connected by a spiral staircase that sits in the middle of the bottom balcony. But we worked together to agree a layout that would make the most of the light and space. Annabel and Sarah were honest with me about the things that would impact my budget, and gave me lots of options to consider at each stage. I don't know a huge amount about gardening, but they were able to take my inspiration board and turn it into something that would work within the constraints we had. As part of the design, they commissioned a bespoke cedar bench from Nicholas Edward Gardens, which looks fantastic. I'm so pleased with the results, and I can't wait to see the plants flourish next year. Because of COVID-19, I'm still waiting for a few plants and a small tree to arrive. I will share some photos when the garden is complete.

From the first phonecall to Sarah I was impressed by her enthusiasm and professionalism. She listened to exactly what we were looking for in our new garden layout and brought different ideas to the table. Once the design was finalised and the work got underway Sarah was on the ball, available to answer any questions and receptive to any changes that were needed. Her knowledge of the different aspects of the garden was immense and you can tell that she has a real passion for it. She was efficient in her approach and the budget was always considered in decision making, often trying to reuse/recycle where possible. We are very much looking forward to enjoying our garden this year and sitting out on the new patio when it is in full bloom.

Sarah and Annabelle have transformed our garden over the past few months. From design and specification to implementation and maintenance they have been fantastic. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with these passionate and hugely knowledgeable ladies. We can't wait to see how our garden matures - roll on next summer!

Working with Sarah has been amazing from start to finish and we absolutely love our new garden. It was a complete wreck before she started, an uneven, messy quagmire - it had been completely neglected! I/we had a vision for what we wanted yet didnt know where to start, despite doing hours of research. From our very first meeting, Sarah took her time to understand how we wanted to use it, our preferences on schemes, colours and lots of different aspects, including our budget which was fairly limited - her knowledge was incredible and where we weren't sure she sent us examples and images to look through. Once planned out, we discussed landscaper options and sarah advised on this. We waited a while for the landscaper due to his busy schedule howwever, once on site he completed the job so quickly it was great to watch - it would have taken us years to do it ourselves! He did a professional job to a very high standard. Sarah did the planting last week (due to our lack of time) and has now provided detailed plant care plans, she has really looked after us and thought about everything we need to know - she's coming back to see us in spring to make sure everything is ok. Looking forward to that. I/we 100% recommended Sarah!

Having never had a garden design before I wasn’t sure what to expect and if I were to be lucky enough to do it again I would be better prepared. However Sarah and Annabel made up for my lack of research with their knowledge. Sarah was excellent at capturing the brief – which was a bit sketchy – and turning this into a ‘dream’ garden. The landscaping by Amara was superb – you couldn’t wish for a tidier, more hardworking and polite team and they had to work in terrible conditions – rain, snow and a lot of mud. The planting scheme is beautiful and I can’t wait to see how the garden ‘blossoms’ in year one. The aftercare service has been great and I know if I have any concerns I could drop Sarah an email. Great job – thank you! We now have a garden we want to spend time in.

Sarah and Annabelle are both great designers of excellent repute in the area. As a plant nursery, we feel most confident in passing potential design customers on to them, knowing that they will be well taken care of. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anybody who is looking for great garden design.
