Outerspace Creative Landscaping

We weren't sure whether Outer Space would be interested in doing this work as it was a relatively small job for them. We had a serious drainage problem when it rained because of the way the patio had previously been laid. However, Terrey came up with invaluable suggestions: an unobtrusive slot drain rather than a channel drain, which would have looked out of place, and also as to how the lawn could be reshaped and levelled - it had quite a slope. Conrad and his team worked with great efficiency, were adaptable and easy to have around. They have done an excellent job. The patio no longer pools and looks bigger because of the way the flagstones have been relaid. The lawn has been transformed by the modern edging which also makes it easier to cut. Their suggestions as to what we could plant between the flags in a new path they created were very helpful. Our garden has been transformed! We highly recommend this company.

We can not recommend Outerspace highly enough. As a family business they are able to provide a seamless service for all components of the work from Design, Construction/Landscaping and Planting. Terrey’s knowledge of plants is extensive and, as a trained designer, comes up with ideas in the Design phase which we would never have considered but certainly work. Conrad is meticulous in his attention to detail, ensuring that any construction or landscaping is not “bodged”. They do not subcontract any element of the process as they employ their own groundwork team so there are no third parties to deal with as well as ensuring that Terrey’s and Conrad’s own high standards are met throughout the landscaping and planting phases. The husband and wife team work closely together to ensure that the end result is stunning. So many people now pass our house and comment on how much they like the front garden, its walls and gates - no better recommendation than that!

We have a coastal new build house .The drab garden didn’t reflect the house or make the most of its potential space. There are two levels and they didn’t connect with each other. We wanted a garden which had soft curves and plants spilling over looking lush and welcoming. We choose Outerspace on personal recommendation by friends. Terrey is the designer and she spent time listening to us and ensuring she knew our needs and preferences. This is a vital stage and we didn’t feel rushed. She then spent time considering the light in the garden and working out ways to best maximise the space and function of it. She came up with plans and we had further discussions were small changes were made til we were happy with the final design. Terrey’s husband Conrad is in charge of the execution. We had to wait a while ( post Covid backup ) for work to start. However Conrad and his team on starting the project came every day til its completion and worked in an incredibly professional manner. He kept us ( and our neighbours!) informed throughout the entire process. Communication like this is rare. Terrey and Conrad are perfectionists ! I really liked using this company because they provide a full design , execution and planting service. Conrad and Terrey conferred throughout which isn’t something you would get with a separate design and build set up. I could have planted it up myself but I’m very glad I got Outerspace to do it. I sent a list of plants I wanted and the colour palate required. Everything being planted at once means it grows up together and changes with the seasons. Im delighted with the garden and can’t believe it looks so established already. I love the wide steps connecting both levels and the wonderful choice of hard landscaping materials. The garden feels so much bigger and is a real joy to be in. Thank you Outerspace. Anne

During the pandemic and various lockdowns, we were fortunate to be able to make use of our garden, particularly on sunny days. It also encouraged us to make better use of the garden, in future and to do so, we should make some changes. We decided that the garden should be redesigned. After making various enquiries, we were recommended to approach Outerspace, which we did. Terrey came to visit us and discussed what we wanted to do and our options. She spent some time enquiring about how we used our house and garden-facing rooms and what aspects of the garden were important to us. Out in the garden she gave us ideas of how we could make better use including providing a “Sunset Terrace”, in a little used area behind the garage, which enjoys sunshine throughout the day when it deigns to appear. She also advised us about focal points and making links with space beyond our garden. She produced some plans based on our discussions. These were tweaked, but, on all occasions, she painstakingly took on board our comments and produced final plans. These were adjusted to accommodate our wishes and within our agreed budget. We decided to go ahead with Outerspace undertaking the work, led by Conrad. We had to wait for a while, as, being a good firm, they had other booked work. Work commenced with Conrad and his team, who worked in the most appalling weather conditions. We cannot fault the excellent quality of their work, skill, attention to detail and their pleasant attitude. We were able to make minor adjustments which they always enthusiastically embraced. The communication and advice during the project were absolutely first class Having completed the structural work, which was substantial, Terrey discussed planting and produced plans for this. Her designs were exactly what we wanted and Conrad and his team accomplished this part of the work in short order, in time to host a family celebration, which even the weather even played a good sunny part. We now have a garden, which we love and a Sunset Terrace, that on good days, lives up to its name. We have received fantastic comments from visiting family and friends. We can thoroughly recommend, without hesitation, the design, workmanship and superb staff of Outerspace.

Excellent help in understanding what we wanted and needed. Superb workmanship - they worked very hard and with a real focus on quality. Ongoing support has followed with planting and maintenance advice. Could not recommend more.

Outerspace Landscapes carried out several complex building elements over many months in my steep tiered coastal garden in Clevedon over 18 months. They surpassed my expectations with their dedication to both the design and the installation in what is physically an extremely challenging garden to work in. Terrey provided a complete set of detailed design drawings for the courtyard completely transforming the space with Corten steel planters , a water feature, a small deck including a dedicated waterproof narrow planter with horsetail ferns. Phase 2 was the steep tiered garden. Terrey also provided a a very carefully considered detailed set of planting plans for the 350Sqm of borders that needed sourcing and planting. Conrad and the installation team worked tirelessly over several months installing oak sleeper retaining walls, and the planting of more than 2000 plants , all of which had to be carried up more than 100 steps into the garden. I can highly recommend Terrey, Conrad , Dave and the rest of their professional installation team ! T.Smith , Bay Road , Clevedon.

Overloaded with garden projects waiting to be designed post lockdown, we are delighted we did wait for Terrey and Conrad to be able to do our garden. Our ideas had changed somewhat over the 2 years, and they couldn't have been more accommodating. We were keen to change the 1970s garden which had different levels, a lot of heavy shrubbery, paved throughout and no flowers. The transformation into something with a strong structure, yet softer, with more light, a small lawn and a place to grow herbs is developing into a wonderful space to garden and sit in. We were really impressed by how tidy they were at the end of each day, how unforeseen challenges were met without drama and with total professionalism. Their brief was to produce the garden design, and while Terrey has given us ideas for planting, we are working (still) on the our final choice of plants. The whole team worked incredibly hard, and were a pleasure to have around. Dare I say we missed them when they had finished? No hesitation in recommending them, they are worth the wait!

We have had the pleasure of working with Terrey and Conrad over the last two and a half years, firstly on our back garden and currently our front garden which is now close to being finished with just the planting to go. From the very first chat with Terrey after finding Outerspace online during lockdown I knew we could work together. Terrey suggested a visit to view our garden and was very interested to find out how we used our garden and what was important to us. A suggested design for the garden soon followed, Terrey was very keen for our thoughts and took on board practicalities such as low maintenance not just in planting but products to use for the patio etc. Once scheduled into the diary it was all systems go, Conrad and the fantastic team from Outerspace arrived. Over the next five weeks we watched in awe as our back garden became transformed into our haven. Conrad has a such an eye for detail, the finish is quite superb and well thought through. During the work things can and did change, after all we are dealing with Mother Nature. When there was a slight tweak to the plan we were consulted and each time Conrad’s suggestions were discussed and explained. It was a pleasure to have Conrad and his team around, always punctual, always so respectful of our time and our home. We cannot recommend Outerspace highly enough, from the design to the ground work and finally the planting which is so brilliantly thought through by Terrey. We are and continue to be thrilled with our garden both front and back, a space for us to enjoy with family and friends for years to come. Julie and Tracey.

When we bought our house it had a large but odd cup-de-sac of a drive with lots of a mature trees and shrubs and very little usable parking. There was loads of “potential” but I was struggling to see it. I asked neighbour who had a lovely drive and front garden and they recommended Outer Space. Terrey was given a few ideas and an open brief. After the survey she asked to pop round and present an idea she was playing around with - it was perfect. A few tweaks here and there and we had a design for tender. Thank you so much Terrey.

"We needed a Wow! landscaping design for our flagship development in Bath. We commissioned Terrey to come up with something to woo our buyers that also had to be commercially viable for our construction team. Outerspace fully delivered and we're delighted to say that the schemes landscaping is quite simply wonderful. Terrey liased with our project team and external professionals throughout the project duration to overcome Planning Restrictions and balance the mulit faceted requirements of client, future residences, aurthorities and the local community. Supporting the design scheme, Terrey produced detailed planting plans, plant schedules and material specifications to ensure the scheme could be delivered in a smooth and coherent manner. We Look forward to working with Terrey again!"

Outerspace Creative Landscaping designed part of our garden into a contemporary seating and planting area. The design process was enjoyable and informative. Terrey came up with innovative solutions to make the most of the available space and potential sunshine. She really listened to our ideas and used these to produce a fantastic plan which fitted our brief, but more importantly she used her professional expertise to show us how we could make better use of the space and flow of the area. Conrad and the landscaping team were absolutely first class with the quality of their work. We are absolutely delighted with our finished garden which is beyond our expectations!

Terrey, Conrad and the Outerspace team have just completed a total transformation of our front garden. It had a long drive, large rectangular area of grass and various flower beds all of which looked extremely sad and uninspiring. Terrey took the time to carry out several visits to discuss our ideas and give her recommendations which, using her designer’s flair, produced an imaginative plan. Once work started Conrad and his professional, cheery team worked tirelessly, sometimes in awful weather conditions and made sure the access to the house was tidy and safe. Conrad has a great attention to detail and always consulted us should tweaks to the project be needed along the way. One of which was a new water pipe - certainly an unexpected piece of work. We now have a stunning front garden which has a contemporary feel though, with the incorporation of lovely planting, complements our Victorian House perfectly. I would thoroughly recommend Outerspace Creative Landscaping
