“Elen designed a plan for a small plot that was effective at utilizing the existing plants, giving a simple and elegant finish to a previously haphazard garden. in addition, the planting plan she provided solved the problem of a very difficult water logged clay soil. She is full of knowledge and methodical in her approach.”

“We have employed the services of Luke from Roeder Landscapes over the past two years in planting up new beds, a small orchard and for lawn maintenance We are very happy with the results. His designs took full consideration of our ideas and built on these with further options taking into account soil conditions and aspect. Great attention was paid to bed preparation prior to planting which ensured the best growing conditions. Work was carried out efficiently with the minimum of fuss. He is now in the process of planting a wild flower meadow for us.”

“PC Landscapes have been amazing dealing with our garden. We have undertaken a huge project with approximately 3 acres of land that needs absolutely everything. PC landscapes have listen to our needs and have been able to design the garden to not only respect and compliment the architecture of our home but also they have taken into account that we have no knowledge of gardening and therefore they have simplified the process. I fully recommend this company. They are respectful, they listen to the brief and always happy to help. Regards Carla, Cranleigh”

“I hired WH to landscape our garden, which involved removing grass and relaying new lawn, extending flower beds. planting new trees and shrubs; and to modify the front area of the house to create more parking space. WH proved to be very reliable, always advising me ahead of time in case of schedule issue; they work with extra care to minimise the inconvenience and the results are better than expected when I decided the project. I will use them again.”

“We asked Chiltern Garden Design to prepare and implement a planting plan to bring our walled garden to life. They have done a brilliant job, bringing together a range of unusual plants, trees and shrubs to ensure it looks great all year round with relatively little maintenance. Sam has also been a font of knowledge and help with a range of other areas such as dealing with honey fungus, managing some invasive weeds in the lawn and putting up a living roof on our garden shed. I could not recommend her more highly.”

“Faith provided me with a design and plant sourcing service. My garden was tired and several older shrubs where really past their best. Faith gave me the confidence to remove and replace instead of trying to work around old plants she also pointed out areas in the garden that were just not working form a design point of you and why. Which helped me justify making some radical changes and completely re-work the garden layout. She also pointed out how the larger trees in the garden needed maintenance and with Faiths team the work was carried out quickly and efficiently But the thing I found really tough was trying to understand which plants to put where and how to create the style of garden i was aiming for. This is where Faith was amazing, her plant knowledge and understanding was superb, she was instantly able to identify the sort of plants that would work for my soil and shade, and how to lay out a plan that gave interesting foliage and colour from early spring right through to autumn. Her clever design has given me a focal point and interesting paths so I can really appreciate my garden from several angles. The planting plan has provided a flow and the colour palette is exactly as I wanted. I never really appreciated how important it was to have a nice garden until now and my husband and i look out everyday and love the new space that has been created. Thank you.”

“Complete re-vamp of 1/2 acre garden including hard landscaping, planting, pool and outdoor areas. Created a fabulous outdoor entertaining space that flowed freely from a new extension. Super design and execution. Worked well with other contractors to minimize disruption through an extensive internal and external re-modelling.”

“Completed a difficult design incorporating sustainable materials giving us the confidence to use Insideout on another project at the rear of the house. A job well done!”

“Rebecca met us to discuss our ideas, then proposed three alternative designs, for both the front and back gardens, each of which was true to our suggestions, but provided interesting elements of her own. We particularly appreciated her ideas for planting, as our knowledge was somewhat limited. At each step of the way, through landscaping to final planting and subsequent maintenance help, Rebecca was responsive, efficient and dedicated to quality results. She collaborated particularly well with the landscaper, and between them they produced results we are delighted with, to time, and to expected budget. We would highly recommend her services.”

“Builders have recently taken out or damaged many of my shrubs and plants. I decided to use this as an opportunity to do something new in the garden and, to this end, I consulted Laara. As I did not have a lot of money to spend, we arranged a short consultation with a single site visit to focus on creating some shape and structure for the garden. Laara helped me to focus my ideas and together we gradually built up a picture of how my garden could look. As she was on site, Laara could easily tell me which of my ideas and wishes were viable and which of them were unrealistic. At the end of the visit, Laara sketched a plan of the garden with all the details that we had talked about and agreed upon. I can now use this plan to make the changes in the garden in stages. Over time, I will be able to create a new and fresh garden without having to do it all in one single expensive overhaul. Laara has a nice light touch. She guided me away from unworkable ideas and took the workable ones and expanded and developed them. She simplified my choices as my mind had become overwhelmed with all the possible options. At the same time, she recognised my desire for change and gave me some good ideas to work with. I would recommend Laars for her ability to understand and interpret client needs.”
