Amanda Broughton Garden Design

We contacted Amanda in February 2017 to design a completely new (but smallish) rear garden for the rebuilt barn conversion that we had moved into some months previously. We were looking for an outside ‘room’ that was an extension to the barn but did not want a purely traditional cottage garden and neither would a modern style garden work - we needed a hybrid. Amanda took our brief and came up with 2 designs - one of which was perfect. We now have the most amazing garden and are absolutely delighted with the results- it has that wow factor that really only a professional garden designer can deliver. At the same time her knowledge of planting,soil types,sunlight, drainage, etc is combined with her creativity to deliver a garden where the plants are in the right place and the garden actually ‘works’. As a particular example we have a raised bed backed by a tall wall and Amanda capitalised on this by installing steel arches which are planted with Jasmine- the fragrance permeates the garden when in flower. Of particular interest is that the plants are planted in ‘clumps’ rather than singles so when they flower they have impressive impact and create large blocks of colour, both foliage and flower . This works even in a small garden. We were very satisfied with the whole experience from start to finish and are delighted with our new garden.

Absolutely delighted with Amanda’s design skills. Our garden still has the “wow” factor several years after it was first designed. It’s been recently refreshed by Amanda and her planting team. As well as enjoying our garden ourselves, so many friends/family admire its style and design. Would recommend Amanda without hesitation.

Brilliant designer…her professionalism couldn’t be bettered. Drawing details superb and a deep understanding and ideas on what can be achieved. Her recommended partners on the actual build were outstanding and I would without hesitation recommend Amanda’s company to any prospective potential client.

I Found Amanda on Houzz and was really impressed with the service, skill and imagination shown at all stages the re-design of Front and Rear Garden, we used a landscape firm of her recommendation which followed the brief and helped deliver the design Amanda had created we are delighted with the end result.

Amanda discussed our wishes and hopes for a complete tranformation of our garden and with her advice and beautiful designs created an amazing garden that completely complemented us and our house. Even after a year we have such joy in it and would be proud to show anyone her fabulous work.

Amanda did an absolutely wonderful job on our tiny little family garden. She intuitively understood what we wanted and did a great job of engaging with the children too. She has a wonderful eye, and a great dollop of pragmatism

Amanda designed my garden, wrote the technical specifications, oversaw the execution and sourced and planted all the trees, plants and bulbs per the design. Hugely impressed. In particular - was able to translate our somewhat incoherent ideas on what we wanted into an amazing design. She listened, but delivered something that we couldn't have imagined - really clever design. I didn't appreciate how clever until it was all done. The sight lines from the house are lovely. It's really interesting and will be stunning through the seasons - great insight into what will work by way of design and effective planting - respected the budget parameters we set - user friendly - good meetings, detailed designs, worked well with landscaper - lovely team around her to help with the planting. They really care. Easy to work with. - partnered well with landscape contactor A good experience all round. Can't recommend Amanda highly enough. This was quite a big project that took a couple of months work on the ground. But I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for large or small projects. Cares about what she does and ensure that the client gets a great result.

Our garden has been totally transformed by Amanda. The plot is unusual, as our house is situated at the rear of the garden. It was extremely overgrown and half of the space was used for parking cars. Amanda's unique design treated the whole area as four separate gardens which blended seamlessly into one. Amanda is clearly passionate about plants and is a wonderful designer. We found her a joy to work with and she was always ready to sort out any queries or concerns. Her suggestion of landscapers etc. was excellent. We have had many compliments on the garden and would have no hesitation in recommending Amanda.

Our experience with Amanda was entirely positive. Both myself and my husband work from home, and when people come to the house for the first time, they tend to comment on how much they like our front garden. The design is simple, smart and very attractive all at the same time. Even children comment on it!! Amanda was also a pleasure to deal with, she's very professional in her approach, taking great care and attention to detail with her pre planning measuring and she was always willing to listen to us and discuss our ideas. I would recommend Amanda Broughton to anyone wanting a good professional design, which will make a real difference.

Amanda is an amazing garden designer. She provided us with both innovative and practical ideas together with accommodating the features and overall design we wanted. The wealth of knowledge she has about planting means we have our annual garden which is always full of colour and texture, even in the depths of winter. Amanda is extremely easy to work with and is totally committed to achieving the highest standard for the project. I have heartedly recommended her to many friends.

Amanda designed and planned our back garden in our home. Our garden was an overgrown and unused space. Amanda managed to produce a design that complimented our house, style and turned our unusable garden into a functional area for both adults and kids, as well as practical for growing fruit and vegetables. Amanda was professional at all times, always listened to our requirements and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommended Amanda to anyone looking for a fantastic garden design to vastly improve their gardens and value of their homes!!!

I first hired this company to design my front drive. It was all paved by the previous owner and I just wanted to add some shrubs, a hedge for privacy and few trees while keeping some parking space. We were so pleased with the result that we hired them again years later to do a bigger job on my rear garden. Again, all the design and work was straightforward. In both occasions we had to hire another company for the landscaping but Amanda gave us names of other reputable companies and we did not have any problems at all. The advice on the design was perfect because it took into account our preferences plus all the advice from a professional. I would strongly recommend this company. Amanda is not only a professional gardener, she is also a true artist.
