Lempsink Garden Design

After years of trying to keep an invasive bamboo at bay that had overtaken a large part of our garden - a solution was badly needed. In stepped Lisa who was not phased by the challenge. For our project Lisa needed to eliminate the bamboo whilst being sympathetic to existing features such as old stone walls, beech hedges plus a mature ash tree. Lisa grasped our brief and made great planting and landscaping suggestions that have fulfilled our vision. The change has worked so well for our family garden. We love our special outdoor space which with Lisa's clever planting enjoys bursts of colour throughout the year. I highly recommend Lisa for her sympathetic, artistic and knowledgeable approach!

Lisa first advised us on our garden plan in October 2015 and from the moment we met her we knew we had someone who we could really trust to do a fantastic job. Lisa listened to our ideas and offered great suggestions and advice on everything from layout and plant choices to her recommended hard landscapers and wall and gate specialists! Lisa worked closely with all our other suppliers and provided excellent referrals to various suppliers, hard landscapers, and gardening experts and was very flexible in working to our/their deadlines ensuring our garden came together in harmony. The challenge was to transform from scratch c.700 square meters of largely empty yard – much of it formerly a chicken run - into an interesting, reasonably low maintenance and beautiful country garden. We wanted to create a sheltered garden with variety and texture and most importantly colour and interest all year round. Lisa worked with us over the autumn and winter months to agree the garden design and planting scheme, providing throughout tremendous insight and careful research into the most suitable plants for our garden and taste! Whilst all this was going on we were hard landscaping and re-building walls! By January 2016 we had agreed the scheme and Lisa sourced and ordered all the plants on our behalf. In March the first to go in were bare-root trees, and by the end of April our garden was fully planted up. We are absolutely delighted with the results and are amazed at how mature the garden looks even in its first year! Lisa has provided us with a beautiful palette of colour and texture cleverly using a mixture of trees, climbers, shrubs and herbaceous perennials to create all-year-round colour, warmth and interest. Thanks to Lisa’s expertise, flair and skills we have managed to transform this rather drab, exposed plot into the foundations of a beautiful country garden which will provide such a great deal of pleasure for us in the years to come. Lisa is extremely professional and is honest and transparent about costs at every stage of the project. She is very knowledgeable and clearly loves her work! We would have no hesitation in recommending her services
