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.

Comment from The London Gardener Ltd:

Dear Helen
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.

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.

Comment from The London Gardener Ltd:

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

From the comprehensive advice on design and plant selection to the efficient and friendly team who implement the ideas, The London Gardener transformed my garden and window boxes. More importantly, they made sure it was easy maintenance so that it continued to look wonderful with minimal input from me. The London Gardener understands busy people who want a beautiful garden year round. From the initial re-design to maintenance, the individual service they offer is competitively priced and excellent value. Trustworthy and reliable, I whole heartedly recommend them.

Emma was amazing at helping us with our garden. With no previous experience of gardening at all we found ourselves with 21m of wasteland and no understanding of how to start. Emma was able to take the few ideas we had and work with us to develop an beautiful garden (almost instantly) - we now have a wonderful patch of lawn, a large 'wooded' area with a mix of imported tree ferns and native UK ferns and a small pond full of frogs and water plants. She brought in some large evergreeens giving us structure, and then worked on a diagrammatic layout with us that has meant that we have been able to manage and develop the garden through the summer months. Every now and again she pops round to see how we are getting on - amazing service and aftercare (and all our friends think that we are amazing gardeners).

Comment from The London Gardener Ltd:

Angus - thanks so much for your very kind review!

I was fortunate to work with you as clearly you have a keen design eye and you knew just the look you were after. The garden feels like a natural and relaxed space - and with the amazing summer we've had I'm glad you are enjoying it.

I'm looking forward to seeing you and the garden again soon!

We had our garden redesigned by Emma and her team, and we can’t speak highly enough of their service. Lovely people, a pleasure to deal with, and simply excellent at their job. The first thing we look for, from anyone we use to help us, is a focus on quality. From start to finish there hasn’t been a hint of a corner cut, or settling for second best. Indeed Emma’s passion for her work is evident from the first time you meet her. This isn’t someone just ‘doing a job’, this is someone doing something they care about, and wanting to walk away at the end of it as satisfied as her customer. From the first step it was clear to us this was about Emma responding to what we wanted from our garden space, rather than her ‘selling’ an idea to us. It’s quite hard to envisage how a space you’re not happy with will become a space you’ll love, yet everything was clearly articulated, and plans were precise, well explained, and logical. Her ability to bring a space to life is deeply impressive – and that’s the neighbours and friends speaking! Emma is also calm, reassuring and methodical. There were three different parties involved in the garden work, all working to Emma’s original design, so the pressure is very much on her. Inevitably plans get moved due to unavoidable delays, leading to knock on effects for everyone else. In addition it can be quite unnerving to look out the window and see what’s essentially a big mess half way through the process, wondering how Emma’s vision would come to life and whether we would like the end result. Yet she was the person we turned to for advice on several occasions, and at no stage did we feel stressed about all three parties coming together to deliver exactly what we wanted. It’s also worth noting that Emma will have far larger projects to work on in comparison to ours. Yet we undoubtedly felt we got just as much care and attention as anyone else she might be working for.

Comment from The London Gardener Ltd:

Wow - when you offered to do a review I wasn't expecting this!!!

Thank you for your view kind words which I'll also pass on to the team.

Our over-riding mission is that every job we do, we absolutely strive to get the best result we possibly can. Sometimes it can be unnerving (as you say) to see your garden torn apart, but ultimately you will have a well designed garden that serves your needs and also looks beautiful.

A big part of the process being successful is good communication between client and supplier, and you were utterly brilliant, so thank you and Katrina for that.

I hope you spend many happy hours (if not days!) in your new garden, and we look forward to seeing it grow with you.

Emma transformed our tiny London garden from a soulless, exposed concrete square into a beautiful secluded haven. The garden also looks like it’s doubled in size! Emma was friendly, considerate and professional throughout.

Emma Lyne has been looking after my half-acre garden in Cobham since 2008. She was recommended to me by a mutual friend. She has a background in fine art and trained at the RHS. As a result she has an especially good eye for colour and form and a thorough knowledge of plants and soil management. Our aim over the years has been for the garden to look colourful and interesting throughout the year, which we have achieved due largely to her creative ideas and good management of the plants and trees. In recent years she has employed an apprentice, so that he can learn the various skills needed for his training. They have managed to produce and care for a really beautiful, colour-filled garden in just four hours a week. I would highly recommend her for her talents and highly professional approach and reliability.

Squareroot Planters

Relationship

Colleague

It has been a pleasure working with The London Gardener on a recent project in SW7. Emma had already introduced her clients to Squareroot Planters' range of aluminium planters and was therefore able to provide us with a tangible brief which included specifics such as preferred planter style and planting requirements. Throughout the process Emma clearly relayed any feedback from her client so we felt confident that we were all in agreement with the decisions being made. Seeing the finished result go from strength to strength, as Emma's beautiful planting continues to flourish, is very satisfying both for us and, of course, the very happy clients.

I have been using Emma for a numbers of years and cannot recommend her highly enough. Her most recent work is fantastic and our garden looks amazing, especially when you consider that two months ago it was a bomb site after 9 months of work on the house. She works with you and understands your needs; we all have opinions and she is happy to allow your fiobles but then makes sure that the end product is going to work!

Rachael Armitage

Relationship

Client

Emma, aka The London Gardener, designed the layout of my new garden, and chose and planted all of the plants (including turf, trees, shrubs and herbs). Emma was fantastic. I wasn't clear what I was looking for other than a hand full of high level thoughts (low maintenance, pretty, variation in height of plants). She took away my thoughts and got back to me quickly with a design and planting suggestions. I adored the design and within the wide range of planting suggestions that Emma shared with me, I was able to pick out gorgeous things to plant on my garden. My builders did the timber and brickwork and Emma met with them before kick-off to discuss the design and then she met up with them during the build as needed (twice, from memory). Emma and team then did all the planting. My garden looks fabulous and I am thrilled with it. Emma has a huge passion for gardens and their contents, and her passion shines through. She is very thorough, works to a high standard and genuinely wants her customers to be delighted with the end result. Emma's knowledge of plants is clearly vast. This meant that I have plants suitable for a London garden and also that she knows when and where to source quality products from. The turf in my garden is so beautifully green - everyone has commented on it.

Emma designed and planted my garden (small patio area) about 6 years ago. I was delighted at the time and have so enjoyed seeing the shrubs and trees mature over the years. I very much enjoyed working with Emma and so recently I asked her back to see if she could help me work out what would work best on my roof terrace. Needless to say she came up with some wonderful ideas. In addition she offered a very professional service, very prompt time keeping, within the agreed budget, all in all an excellent service.

I first hired Emma (The London Gardener) four years ago to assist me with designing my newly refurbished garden. I was starting with a blank canvas, but having lived in Southern California, I wanted to create something that was unusual for London, but reminiscent of the many beautiful gardens I had seen in Beverly Hills. Emma was not only receptive to my vision, but she knew exactly the types of plants and trees that would create such a garden. Emma's extensive research and design skills were second to none. She helped me achieve my vision beyond my wildest dreams (quite a challenging feat with a North facing London garden.) In the years since the garden was first planted, Emma has punctually visited my garden bi-annually, maintaining it as it has developed within its parameters. Emma and her team are always punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. Many visitors to my garden have not only complemented it on its beauty, but have asked to try and recreate a similar garden in their own homes. Emma and The London Gardener team will always be my first recommendation. She is the best gardener in all of London.

After the builders had left, our garden looked a bit like a landfill site. Emma and her team managed to convert it within a few days into a wonderful place of recreation. Very good advice on which plants to use, flexible in respect to our ideas, always considering what works in practice and is easy to maintain, excellent supply of plants (Emma has indeed figured out her sources). Also very good in communication, always accessible and responsive. I can fully recommend this gardener, a pleasure to work with.

My second, but much larger project with Emma is now complete, and we are delighted to be looking out over our garden which underwent a beautiful and complete transformation under the careful, considered design and direction of Emma. We have exactly what we want in terms of effect, ambience and practicality and within the design are thrilling gems of creativity, and beauty. Throughout, the process was thoughtfully integrated into the overall build programme of the property and it seamlessly came together at all the right times. The process of working with Emma is always fun and exciting, not to mention that I always feel that I am in very safe hands. Her love of plants and exacting standards provide an exemplary service and gorgous outcomes. I really couldn't imagine using anyone else.

I have come across Emma through a colleague of mine who was singing praises about her work. I have to say I was a bit apprehensive as I had a bad experience before but I soon realised I have nothing to be scarred of. She is such a pleasure to work with, she is timely, realisable and sticks to the budget. She spends a lot of time making sure she understands your needs and affinities and then just does the most amazing job translating it into reality. She has given me the garden I love spending time in and that I feel very proud of. And once the work is done, she is around to help with many questions I have had, always ready to help and offer the advice to someone with not such green fingers! Absolutely delighted with her work and would highly recommend her.

Emma and her team did an excellent job. Very accomodating and pleasant to deal with from initial meeting to checking all ok post completion of the job. Job done on time and bang on budget; and carried out tidily and in a totally stress free manner.

The London Gardener, under Emma's direction is a real find in the sea of gardening services. A great pleasure to work with: timely, reliable, professional and most of all uniquely skilled in translating client's wishes into a better version of what was initially set out in a brief. Emma and her team will transform your garden into a beautiful space with skill and imagination. Being a BALI registered gardener means Emma will source the plants in the best of nurseries, they will be healthy and original and they will last a lifetime. I am recommending The London Gardener for the badge of perfection! Thank you for our garden, we love it. AgataB, London
