Rebecca Wallman Garden Design

I can not recommend Rebecca highly enough. Our garden design came about as a result of a kitchen extension that made our small garden unfit for purpose, we approached the project with no real idea what we were asking for or how much things would cost. Rebecca’s first reply from my initial approach was so helpful and informative and far superior to any of the other reposes I’d received. Every stage of the process has been fantastic, from the initial questionnaire so as our garden would be just what we wanted, even when we didn’t know what that was. The design to its fruition has been so well communicated and planned that would not change a thing. I had concerns about the maintenance of the garden as am not a gardener but the personalised booklet Rebecca created detailing the care of every plant means I have a guide which id be lost without, We love our new garden. Thank you Rebecca

Rebecca redesigned both our front and back gardens and revamped our patio, and the results are just stunning. Our garden has been totally transformed, and Rebecca herself has been a pleasure to work with. We weren’t the easiest of clients, with a brief that kept changing alongside our circumstances, but she was always patient and enthusiastic and came up with some fabulous designs. She has a fantastic eye for colour and her knowledge of plants is superlative, and we especially appreciated her environmentally aware approach to gardening. Her design process was clear and professional and she always kept us well informed of progress. She was also able to put us in touch with a contractor to complete the landscaping work, and sourced and carried out the planting to a high standard. We couldn’t be happier with the results and are excited to see the garden develop as the seasons progress. We’re novice gardeners, but Rebecca has inspired us with her ideas and knowledge. Thank you!

My wife and I worked with Rebecca on a project to landscape our front garden. We were very happy with Rebecca's approach to all aspects from design through to planting. She was a good communicator and kept us up to date on progress regularly. She listened to our views and helped us to make good decisions. She provided a design and identified a landscaper for the work which together delivered the whole project within budget. We would thoroughly recommend Rebecca.

I was unsure how much help I'd need in creating a border for my back and front garden. Rebecca was brilliant. She offered a variety of services from just offering some ideas to a complete planting plan and optional implementation. I opted for her to do the whole thing and I was delighted with her knowledge and dedication to the project. She took the time to make sure she understood what I wanted and came up with a fab plan. She sourced all the plants which took all the hassle out of the job for me. It was finished on time and on budget. I've found Rebecca to be really professional with an extensive knowledge of plants and design and also really friendly. Id definitely recommend her. Photos to follow in the summer!!!!

Working with Rebecca was a highly enjoyable and straightforward process. Her knowledge and vision brought our ideas to life and she helped us create a space which reflects the aims of our business.

I inherited a garden well past it's "sell-by" date when I bought my house. This was challenged even further with the building of a kitchen extension. My brief to Rebecca was a contemporary style garden which required very little maintenance. Rebecca was professional throughout, her plant knowledge is amazing and she has the ability to visualise the final outcome. Now the landscaper has finished, all I can say is "WOW!" It is amazing and everyone who sees the finished result is equally impressed. I wanted a garden with colour and I have it.

We first started our search for a garden designer over a year ago. Unfortunately our first experience with a landscaping company offering “free design” as part of the package was not great and they were unable to come up with anything that met our requirements and in the end we parted ways with nothing to show. We continued our search and we eventually found Rebecca. We were apprehensive at first due to our previous experience but we needn’t have worried. From first contact to completion Rebecca was professional, friendly and easy to work with. She fully explained the process to us, her fee and payment structure and her terms were simple and clear. We had a lot of requirements to fit into a modest space. Our existing garden had clearly been designed at some point but it was looking tired and old and was not family friendly - heavily planted, gravel, crumbling hard landscaping. It also had a weak rear border as anyone could access the garden from the rear. Our lengthy requirements were to secure this rear boundary, incorporate some of the hardstanding parking space in front of our garage into the garden, make room for a garden office, have a decent size patio for entertaining and room for our existing furniture and BBQ, space to grow some fruit and veg, a reasonable amount of lawn space for the kids to run around and if possible incorporate a sunken trampoline, all whilst coming up with something that looked great and allowed for some interesting planting. Despite all of this Rebecca came up with a design that ticked all of the boxes that wasn’t just functional, but attractive and worked from a design point of view without feeling crowded. When my wife and I first saw the original concept plan we both knew we’d made the right decision picking Rebecca. There wasn’t much we needed to change from the concept plan but Rebecca was happy to work with us on some amendments and exploring a few alternative ideas in some areas until we were happy with the final design. Rebecca also produced a planting plan which we both love and she also supplied and planted all of the plants for us once the landscaping was done. She did a great job and all of the plants she supplied looked healthy on delivery and are still doing great. We were also supplied with a fully detailed maintenance schedule for a very small additional cost that was well worth the money if you’re a beginner gardener like myself. The only downside to having the garden done in Autumn is having to wait until the next Spring to see the planting come to life. We can’t wait.

We have enjoyed working with Rebecca to add a colourful border into our previously plain garden. Rebecca is a very attentive listener and took on board what we said, carefully capturing our wishes in the detailed planting plan and also offering new ideas to consider. We only had a basic knowledge of plants so were worried we might be lost in the process but Rebecca offered us photos and information about the potential plant options so that we could select our personal preferences and discard any we didn’t like. Rebecca has great attention to detail and is very organised and professional, responding to our questions via email comprehensively and quickly, also coordinating any deliveries required. The creation of the new border went very smoothly and Rebecca worked very hard to ensure a stunning transformation. We look forward to seeing it in full flower next year!

We asked Rebecca to develop a modern cottage garden design for our new house. She did a good job listening to our requirements and ideas, developing an excellent conceptual design. Once we'd agreed on the conceptual design she then developed a more detailed planting plan. She produced the spec for the Landscaping and helped select a suitable contractor. She also arranged for high quality plants to be supplied at reasonable cost for good nurseries. We started discussions with her in May 2016, with the garden being built in the Spring of 2017. We are very pleased with the result

Rebecca completely designed our rear garden. We were particularly pleased with the process as she listened to our views and desires regarding planting and styles. We were also provided with several plans (including concept, layout and planting) throughout the design process which helped to visualise the final look. Her knowledge of plants was impressive and she kept to budget and within project deadlines.
