We are absolutely delighted with our newly transformed front garden. Emma understood what we wanted (and didn’t want!) in terms of style and plants and overall feel. Right from this initial design stage through to completion, Emma, Steve and their team were superb, very professional and thorough. They worked in an extremely clean and tidy manner and are all very personable and easy to work with.

The service we received from The London Gardener was first class from start to finish. Emma is clearly a very experienced and talented garden designer; she has an excellent eye for what works and what doesn't. In addition, she is personable and approachable.
Prior to Emma's involvement, my wife and I felt that our small, newly restructured, central London garden was 'empty' and lacked character. We were very lucky to be able to change this significantly as a result of Emma's expertise and vision. She was cooperative throughout and made us feel like we were all working as a team to come up with a suitable design, rather than forcing something on us that we did not like. Also, despite our rough budget being lower than the 'ideal' amount, she was able to modify the plan and still make our garden beautiful.
On the day of the installation itself, Emma's team (consisting of her, her husband and her sons) were extremely pleasant, efficient and quiet. Throughout the day, she kept checking in with us to make sure that we were content with how the pots etc. were placed - and, of course, we were more than happy with what she had done.
We are in love with our new garden and have already spent much more time out there than we did prior to the work being undertaken. We look forward to having Emma and her team back in our garden again one day.

Comment from The London Gardener Ltd:
Hi Anthony
Thank you for such a wonderful review!
I could see how much potential the garden had and you had ideas about what you wanted, so I had a good starting point.
The design came together really well, and the lush and textured evergreen plants that we used look/ed wonderful against the basalt paving. The garden will now grow and flourish and develop over time to become (i hope!) even more lovely.
You and Lily were great to work for, and the team and I thoroughly enjoyed installing the project and seeing the dramatic change!
I look forward to seeing the garden again in the future.

I am absolutely thrilled with the work Emma and her fantastic team have done on our garden. It is exactly as we discussed and meets the needs of our family. The project was delivered on time, on budget with ease and a bit of fun thrown in.
I could not recommend Emma, Steve and the guys more. This is the second garden we have done together and I'm don't think it will be the last!

Victoria, thank you so much for your very kind review! The garden came together really well and the plants will grow and flourish (football permitting!). The garden now gives the family a space they can really use and enjoy, and when the rest of the work is complete it will be the cherry on the cake! Thank you for being so great to work with. Emma

Emma and her team did a top job in designing and planting our two patios. Emma chose a fantastic selection of plants and planters that work really well together. The installation went very smoothly. It was notable how much care was taken with the planting and to not cause any damage or create any mess. An irrigation system was installed very neatly so that we hardly notice it is there. We are delighted with the outcome. We entrusted the job to the professionals and they delivered beyond our expectations.

Hi Sean
Thank you for offering to write a review and for sending this glowing report through!
I could clearly see how great the spaces could be with the right plants, pots and lighting, and you and Juan knew the style you were after, so for me it was a wonderful opportunity to be really creative, and mirror the contemporary style of the interior with that outside.
The joy is its only going to get better as the plants grow. I can't wait to see it again in the coming months!
The project was a dream and it really was great to work with you both.

I cannot thank Emma enough for the incredible job she has done on our rooftop terrace. Having got in touch with a handful of gardeners and landscape gardeners many of them turned down the job because of the windy conditions at such a high level.
However, Emma on the other hand - wow! I got in touch with Emma, and she came the same day to visit, I had a rather ambitious vision for what i wanted the terrace to look like and Emma worked closely with me and gave me honest, realistic ideas and options of what was possible and within a budget I gave her. Emma made the entire experience fun and enjoyable, her knowledge of plants amazed me. She has an incredible team who are kind, friendly and a joy to work with.
The rooftop terrace is now my bit of tropical paradise (in the UK), I had such a crazy vision of what I wanted it to look like and I can honestly say I never thought my once bland wooden terrace could look like something out of Architectural Digest! The dramatic lights which had been installed, bring the terrace alive at night, and I feel as if i'm on holiday!
Thank you Emma, Steve and Andy - you have done an amazing job and we are over the moon, it's better than I could ever have imagined it!

Dear Rhea
Thank you very much for such a great review!
You and Rosie were and are great to work with. You had a stylish vision and were really enthusiastic about our ideas, and while the challenges we faced with privacy and the wind weren't small - we dealt with them and found solutions that actually enhanced the space!
As the plants grow and the seasons change, so will the overall design giving something lovely to look at all year round.
I am delighted you are enjoying your roof terrace and look forward to seeing you and it again!

The London Gardener provides a personal, friendly and detailed service. Emma Lyne listens carefully to what you want, even when that is not necessarily very clear, then comes back with a well described plan making sense of those disparate thoughts!
They always turn up on time, are meticulous about protecting your home and clear up after themselves. The team are made up of permanent staff who work together seamlessly.
The design in my garden is charming and I spend hours looking out at a garden that feels like an extension of my home.
Highly recommended.

Designed and planted a London courtyard for us. Did a superb job - result is even better than we had hoped. Very responsive, delivered to the promised timetable, very focused on not making a mess of the house and tidying up after. Emma is great to work with - lots of ideas and very straight forward. Her team are also a pleasure to work with. We would certainly use them again.

Thank you for your very kind review! The structure of the terrace and planting design turned out as I hoped and should give you something lovely to look out onto all year round. I'm looking forward to seeing it in 6 months when we return to wave our maintenance wand!

Emma designed, and is now regularly maintaining, the most wonderful garden for us. Each outdoor area – front and back garden and the roof terrace – is now a microcosm of harmony and shapes and colours . It is an absolute pleasure to sit amidst the beautiful plants and to watch the garden evolve and change since its completion a few months ago – no doubt it will continue to bring us much joy!
Emma’s incredible vision and knowledge are second to none, it really is a great pleasure to work with her. We are extremely happy with Emma's work and highly recommend her services!

Dear Vera
Thank you for your very kind review!
Your project was a wonderful opportunity to work on four very different areas (roof terrace, back terrace garden and front garden, and small balcony area!). All have their own function but with a similar naturalistic style running through them - as you specifically requested.
I'm looking forward to continuing to work on the garden and watch it grow in the years to come.

Emma has worked so creatively and patiently to make a beautiful, lush haven out of a newly paved and overlooked garden at my new home. She and her team are both professional and friendly and have been inventive in finding ways to create the private outdoor space I was hoping for and helping as the garden evolves. I have felt very supported during the process and look forward to continuing to work with The London Gardener into the future!

We have been dealing with the London Gardener, providing outdoor furniture for a number of her projects since 2017. It has been an absolute joy dealing with Emma and we have found her to be extremely efficient and professional. A real pleasure to work with and also be associated with this business and look forward to working together again in the future.

I cannot recommend Emma and her team at 'The London Gardener' highly enough.
Emma has a fantastic eye and a wonderful ability to make everything look completely individual and stylish. I was always incredibly boring with my choices (always white and the same each season) and bit by bit Emma has coaxed me into something completely brilliant and original (currently pinks!).
Her team are super friendly, dedicated and courteous. I genuinely love having them all around.

We have used The London Gardener for two projects now. One for a London flat/terrace and one for our home garden. Different sized projects. Both completed to great satisfaction (why we asked them to come back and work on the larger home project).
Emma is very professional; punctual, dedicated, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, with a good eye for what one needs or wants. She understands her customer. And keeps to timelines.
Her team is also a tremendous complement to her; very hard working, unobtrusive, friendly, courteous and totally committed.
We would have absolutely no compunction recommending Emma and colleagues to anyone. They are a super team and a wonderful company to work with.

Hi Neil
Thank you for your very kind review, the wonderful hospitality and for giving us the opportunity to work on such a lovely and large scale project.
It will be interesting to see what impact the puppy has on garden... although there is plenty of it so hopefully all the plants will stay well! In any event we are looking forward to returning give the garden seasonal maintenance in a few months.

Thank you very much for this good review! We all really enjoyed working on the project - you had good ideas - and we planted such a lovely range of plants. Once the bulbs are planted there will be a long season of flower which will mark the move from winter to spring to summer, and look beautiful on a daily basis.
