UNL Studios

This is the third visit this year that Rob Mills has advised on my townhouse garden which consists of 60 feet at the front and 200 feet at the rear. It has some trees over 160 years old which include Yew, Scots pine and Lime. There are multiple boarders, a pond, lawn and a long pathway down the side of the house. The garden had very little colour other than green and was overgrown and tired. I asked Rob to improve the appearance of the garden, bring back balance, preserve as much of the quality plants, shrubs and bushes as he could and introduce where appropriate new traditional and contemporary plants/shrubs. Robert has given me choice on complimentary plants and options in the moving of existing plants to improved positions taking into account seasonal changes, light and soil type. The areas around the pond have been replanted with a mixture of traditional and contemporary plants suitable for damp conditions. The long pathway has been revamped with an improved foliage mix and colour. On his advice, my gardener has had more confidence in pruning and already the benefits of his guidance are being seen. I have been impressed by Rob's ability to take multiple views of the various subsets within the garden. He appreciates the size or cluster of plants to get maximal impact. I have felt involved in the design at all times. Thank you Rob. I look forward to further advice as another year passes though its seasons.

Rob looked after the design and landscaping of our back garden, in a new build house from beginning to end. We wouldn’t have known where to start but Rob took us through the design and planning, which we found both helpful and fun, with drawings and plans (from concept design to a detailed planting plan) which helped us to understand what we actually wanted. He then helped us find a contractor to do the work, and choose the right tree which is significant expense in the process. We are now enjoying the garden and are delighted with the result.

We have been very happy with the exceptional service provided by UNL Studios. We had some thoughts that could improve our garden experience but were unsure as the the practicality of these ideas. Rob listened to our ramblings, researched our wants and came up with great solutions. The finished design has given us so much more than we were expecting and the space is now used to its full potential

I was recommended Rob by a colleague at work who was extremely impressed with his work, from his initial consultation and design to his site management after the project was completed. Off the back of this recommendation I enlisted Rob’s services to give my rather tired looking garden a revamp, and I can say that all of the above rings true. He is an extremely pleasant person to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody looking to have any design work done.

I am delighted with my experience with UNL Studios and my beautiful new garden! I can't recommend them highly enough. Rob was brilliant throughout, from initial meetings, to planning, to plant out. He is very knowledgeable and was excellent in guiding me in my ideas, as well as always offering alternative or practical solutions most suited to the space. I really felt like all my ideas were taken on board and thoughtfully considered. The designs were professionally presented and always on time, and any questions or changes were discussed without issues. Rob is open and approachable, always professional and friendly, and helped make the whole process exciting. I can't wait to watch the garden grow! Thank you UNL.

Can't recommend Rob and UNL highly enough. He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, bringing boundless joy, knowledge and character to the process of transforming our garden in Bristol, all whilst being careful and conscious of our budget and preferences. It was so refreshing to work with someone like Rob who perfectly fuses creativity and unique perspective with wisdom, passion and consideration. Every recommendation, every choice has purpose, and that's what truly gives you a connection with your garden. Thank you Rob!

Rob was great! He understood our needs and in few weeks he sent the draft of our new garden. Outstanding job, very professional and always available for any questions we had from lights to garden furniture. I have no hesitations in recommending him to anyone thinking of a garden makeover, however large or small.

Rob is awesome. He has great vision and knowledge of all things garden related but is also on hand and available to help the garden plan become a reality by managing the process through till you have a beautiful flourishing outdoor space. Top guy !
