Garden Plans Professionals in Taunton, Somerset

“As a garden designer working mainly in East Devon I was delighted to be involved from the onset of this project to deliver this exacting client a garden concept that totally complimented In Ex's cutting edge design for a large new extension. Masterfully designed to fully integrate into the back of a small Victorian town house, the extension makes the most of an overlooked and awkward shaped plot, to provide a light modern family room and first floor bedroom accommodation of generous proportions. It makes no apologies in its modernity yet, through clever use of materials, sits well next to its Victorian neighbours. Both house and garden are to be a South West show room for this client's high end Audio Visual business that will allow him to refocus his mainly London based work and enjoy both living and working in Devon. It was imperative that the designs for the extension and garden accommodated and complimented the state of the art technology that would allow the client to demonstrate to prospective customers its huge lifestyle enhancing benefits. I have been impressed by this architectural practice's vision, high quality of presentation and level of communication during the project so far and I look forward to helping deliver with them a contemporary building and garden that both In Ex Design & Lookout Landscapes can be very proud of.”

“We use Laurence to design our projects as we find he listens to our clients and will design a garden to their needs and budget. He has a good idea of the cost implications and the practical side of how the garden is to be constructed. The drawings he produces are second to none and not only can the client picture the garden we can build within 10mm of the drawing and it will work. He has great vision and we would recommend his skill to anyone undertaking a landscaping project”

“We moved into a new home and the garden was just lawn and flower borders,which were waiting for planting.We asked Roger Webster to design a garden for us.We gave our ideas,and Roger incorporated them into his own ideas.He suggested a large planter,and a cube and sail,with a path leading to the slightly raised cube.Roger chose the planting,again taking our likes into consideration. we have ended up with a lovely and interesting garden and it is now becoming mature and is delightful.Very subtle lighting is perfect for the winter evenings,lighting the Victorian red brick wall at the back of the garden and the walk way and a bird bath.The whole effect is most pleasing. Working with Roger was a pleasure and we are delighted with the finished product.”

“Mr Robertson was worth every penny! He was instrumental in guiding us through many hoops when it came to renovating our listed cottage. He was able to give us good ideas and took the heat out of all the overwhelming paperwork that was essential for the job. He liaised with Exmoor Park and was able to deal with any hiccups in a calm and professional way. He was always polite and explained things to us in layman terms when necessary. Mr Robertson worked to our finances and was always "on the case" as it were. Without him, the cottage would not look as stunning as it is today.”

“Eliza took a hugely positive and encouraging approach to her garden design work, and was a pleasure to work with. The project had two stages: initial and final, both of which were quoted in advance for price and timescales, and were delivered to the price and on time. The result was highly imaginative and interesting, and our garden attracts praise from everyone who visits us. We are still pleased with what we have and it has stood the test of time. We were recommended a choice of two contractors, and we got quotes from both and chose one of them. The implementation was good, but was let down by taking a very long time and poor pointing on the paving. A lot of this was caused by the weather (sustained torrential rain) and was really outside of Eliza's control. If there was anything that was less than perfect, it was the choice of some of the plants and their location. There were some tall plants that we ultimately failed to keep standing upright because of the wind (we are at the top of a hill). We had been hoping for more all year round plants and less that die down in the winter, but we knew very little at the time, and have since altered the mix a bit. However, we remain fully satisfied with the bit that is difficult to change, namely the hard landscaping.”

“This was the first time we worked with Tony Benger Landscaping but it will not be the last. The team were very collaborative and we were able to work both on site and between West London and Dorset very well, with excellent communication. They were very helpful at problem solving with us and they had a real commitment to building a superb garden for our client. We shared many of the same values around professionalism and it was a pleasure to have worked with them.”

“The team at Lewis Visuals were extremely friendly and helped us with every aspect of our project. They were very thorough with all details and designed us a completely unique design which we love, taking into consideration our surroundings and the neighbouring properties.”

“Working with Andy was a pleasure. We have a 70s town house which needed total refurbishment. His plan included gutting the building, a new staircase, moving the kitchen and bathrooms and installing a roof light to give us maximum light. We had weekly meetings with Andy before the re-building and he responded immediately to our ideas and budget by providing us with revised plans. He supervised the building works and his attention to detail was outstanding. 15 years on we are still delighted with our house and highly recommend him.”

“We've been delighted with the quality of the architectural design and project management Maria Escribano provided for our house extension and renovation project. Maria understood our requirements really well, proposed a superb architectural design for a modern kitchen extension and then enabled that design to be realised with an excellent eye for detail in her project management. We now have a wonderful addition to our house that we are really pleased with. The extension looks really good architecturally, fitting in well with the aesthetic of the older house and providing a new modern counterpoint with much enhanced amenity including bi-fold doors opening out into the garden. This also complements the renovation work carried out in the rest of the house which has provided amongst other things solar panels and more sustainable heating. Thanks to the excellent service provided by Maria Escribano Architects, we now have a house which we are very much able to enjoy.”

“We used MC building to add a conservatory to our family home, Matt and his team were Fantastic, Matt’s professional advice giving us step by step of how they will undertake the work made us at ease, from the 1st day to the finish of the project we where so excited, absolute credit to Matt it wasn’t easy with access to our garden, but this was not a problem to them at all, attention to detail and workmanship is of the highest level, in our eyes they went above and beyond just the little things like making our garden safe at the end of each day so we could still use it for our dog, washing line etc. Thank you you to the MC building team “we love it””
