Simply Garden Design

I recently engaged Simply Garden Design to fully redesign the soft landscaping areas having seen some of their previous completed projects around our village. From the initial meeting, then design stage, plant selection, planting through to completion, I was kept fully briefed along the way. Katie worked closely with our hard landscape team which took the strain off me! It was the first time that I had undertaken such a project , Katie was helpful and supportive throughout and has given me a beautiful finished product plus ongoing advice when I panic that somethings not right. Now time to enjoy our lovely garden and the excitement of seeing it mature over the next few years

Couldn't be happier with the design that Katie created for our garden. She was able to bring to reality some of the ideas that we had, whilst weaving in ideas and twists that we just wouldn't have considered. Looking forward to Spring now, for the planting to really come to life. The team and individuals that Katie works with to turn the designs into reality are an excellent bunch too, and were a pleasure to have around the house whilst the project was underway (which was very important to me, given a young family - my 4 year old was genuinely sad to see them all leave!)

From the initial drawings we were so excited about our new garden and the finish product did not disappoint at all. Katie has created such a beautiful garden for us one that will just keep getting better with time once the trees mature and shrubs/bulbs grow. Jason and his team were just fantastic too. Always on time, excellent craftsman and impeccably tidy. Cannot recommend Katie and Jason enough.

Katie is a delight, listening to our ideas and translating these into a truly stunning garden. We have one part of the garden designed as a Alhambra style paved water garden. Another part of the garden is a traditional English country garden style with structure and planting for colour, texture and, most importantly, friendly for bees. Katie took the time to get to know us and help us with a garden that suits the house and its location. Not only are we delighted, but we also receive many compliments from passing walkers.

From the first meeting with Katie, we felt she really listened to us and our requirements for the garden which was relatively low maintenance. We had some ideas, but were very much open to suggestions. Plans were quickly drawn up and tweaked where necessary. The builders she uses are a great bunch of guys who are hard working and punctual. We were kept informed of any changes at all times. An excellent designer who has given us a garden we are delighted with.

Simply Garden Design transformed our old-fashioned, cluttered garden to a beautiful modern space. First, Katie discussed with us what we like & tried to find what would reflect our personalities & preferences. She went through every detail with us, she even sent us a list of each flower that will be planted with its maintenance routine. She was flexible and patient with some last minute changes. She answered every question and she had great ideas & thoughts every time we asked for her advice.

We asked Katie to redesign our back garden and make some small changes to our front garden. We knew what we didn't like in our existing garden, and had some specific requirements such as easy maintenance, the type of fencing and more colour. Katie incorporated our requirements and brought it all together with her ideas for a simpler, more modern design. Her knowledge of/recommendations for plants/trees that would grow best in specific places and different materials was excellent. Jason and hs team (Burley Landscapes) were hard-working and delivered the plan on time/to budget. Katie and all involved were very professional, personable and easy to deal with. Both Katie and Jason were fantastic and we're very pleased with the end result.

We had a problem front garden - a smallish sized, irregular plot which needed a complete overhaul and redesign. To complicate matters, it is north-facing and on an incline. Katie was unfazed by the task and made great suggestions for a stylish focal structure which would be in keeping with the house and the lane. We were involved at all stages of the design process, and Katie listened to our suggestions and built on our ideas. She was very responsive to our questions and flexible with amendments. She made suggestions for planting in line with our chosen colour scheme, and provided photos of all the chosen flowers and shrubs. Katie's team was first-rate: professionals who arrived on time, were really hard-working and polite, and removed every trace of rubbish. They worked flat out, and completed the job ahead of schedule. The garden work has been completed to a very high standard. We are very happy with the finished garden, and can't stop looking out of the window - something we never did before!

Katie is a delightful person. She is very professional and keen to share her knowledge and expertise and experience. We totally trusted her and she did an amazing job helping to transform our weary old garden. She is reliable punctual and keeps you informed of every step she makes. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Katie did a fantastic design for our garden. She listened very carefully to our wish list and brought it together perfectly which is no mean feat when a couple have different ideas!!! She gave us all the time we needed at different stages of the planning and execution process and always had the patience to deal with my questions. She also adapted the design and made small improvements as the build progressed. Thanks for a great job Katie.

We had a piece of land at the end of our drive which was untidy, uninteresting and inhabited by foxes - not a great first impression to our home! Katie quickly understood what we wanted to achieve and listened carefully to the type of plants we liked, the colours we wanted and, as importantly, the amount of maintenance we were able to undertake. Katie quickly came up with a great plan, obtained the plants and planted them for us, transforming the entrance of our home to a welcoming, vibrant space. Many of our neighbours have commented on how impressive the area now is. As well as doing a very professional job for us, Katie was delightful to work with. We can't recommend her enough.

A fantastic project from beginning to end. It was well planned and professionally implemented. The garden design was excellent and imaginative taking into account all our requirements. The construction team were hard working, considerate and tidy and were prepared to let us know what was happening every step of the way. We are extremely pleased with the finished product and would have no hesitation in recommending Simply Garden Design.
