Charlesworth Design

Wow wow bow wow! A dream of mine was to have our garden professionally designed, so we checked out professionals on Houzz. We were lucky enough to find the award winning Robert, who was also local. Robert come around with his trusty Spaniel Mutley, appraised the space and discussed our own preferences in some detail. He came back a week later with five mind blowing designs, we chose our favourite. Robert went away and drew up a very accurate and to scale garden plan, with full planting overlay. He recommended trades people to complete the job, but we went with our own. Robert stayed closely in touch throughout the build, even whilst on holiday. He provided the plants via a local trade supplier. Robert then helped to place the plants and even helped out with the actual planting. Amazing design, follow up service and execution. Thank you Robert (and Mutley) we will miss you. Paul Kat and Skye

Rob is a brilliant garden designer who has fantastic ideas and vision. He supplies drawings models and samples of materials to choose from. Excellent knowledge of plants which will be suitable for your garden (dark areas especially). He can arrange a team of people who are terrific in their field and are capable of doing any job necessary. I can honestly say Charlesworth are worth every penny .

Rob is an absolute gem of a find. Looking at his portfolio, no two of his garden designs are ever alike. He prides himself in working with the client and their space, and drawing from his many years of experience to create a unique landscape. He worked with us to find a plan that was affordable to implement, and has built up a knowledge bank of suppliers to supply plants, hard landscaping, garden features and labour, saving many, many hours of time. Once the landscapers started, Rob regularly dropped in to see how things were going and help resolve any minor niggles. I've lost count of the number of site visits he's made now, and he always comes across so cheerfully and helpful. His fees are average, but his work is exceptional. I would absolutely recommend Rob to anyone wanting an experienced, professional garden designer.

It was a pleasure to have Rob work on the design for my garden! We had a consultation where Rob came up with ideas and after a few iterations we landed on something perfect which included everything I was looking for. Rob was friendly throughout and was sensitive to my requests for low maintenance plants and extra details such as a water feature and a pergola.

Rob was superb for our small garden in London. Our garden is a strange triangular shape and so we thought we ought to get a designer to maximise the potential of this difficult shape. Boy, was it the best decision we've made!! The way Rob's mind works is incredible. He came to us with four different designs and we were able to sit down for a couple of hours and he listened to our thoughts on each one offering his reasoning behind each design and how each different design would bring something different out. If you're wondering whether a landscape designer is worth it, I guarantee you it will be!

Rob did a great job for us in completely re-imagining the patio at the back of the house. By raising the level to match the height of the garden room it has created what's now almost an extra room in the house. Very, very pleased. George.

Rob gave a range of thoughtful designs to choose from, all of which stuck to the brief. Like so many of us, we wanted our garden to fill the needs of the whole family; from young children to adults who want some social space. The hardest part was choosing which design to go with and now sitting in the finished result, we love it. Gentle curves, an all weather bench, woodland space for the children to call their own, and hardy planting that is already developing. There are so many things to look at and with us all spending so much more time in our gardens, Rob has created a lovely space for us to enjoy.

Exceptional service from start to finish, would highly recommend. Robs attention to detail was spot on, he listened carefully to our requirements and created a beautiful design for our garden. The design he presented was professional and each detail had been considered carefully. Prior to meeting with Rob we had been unsure if we needed to invest in a professional design however he installed confidence from the first meeting and now having completed the process and seen the final result we would say without hesitation we are so glad we did. Rob was a pleasure to work with throughout.

The design of our new garden perfectly compliments and enhances the house. The transformation is incredible. Charlesworth have been involved from inception to completion and have incorporated everything we wanted from our garden both in hard landscaping and the planting scheme, the result is wonderful.

Rob produced a design which has transformed our garden and significantly improved the visual impact of our house. We were happy to trust his instinct and experience and he worked with us throughout to achieve an excellent result in keeping with our original aims. His friendliness, knowledge and helpfulness before and during during the project made a big difference. It is also extremely reassuring to have someone to turn to for ongoing advice as the garden matures. I would thoroughly recommend Charlesworth Design.

Very happy with my choices of three designs. Easy to work with attends the site regularly and nothing is to difficult! The contractors I was recommended were amazing and did a fantastic job! My new designed and landscaped garden looks Amazing! Christine Weekes

Rob’s design for my garden is superb and I’m absolutely delighted with it. Rob really listened to what I wanted, which is a low maintenance, wildlife garden that I can really enjoy and he has carefully incorporated all of this within his design. With his creativity, expertise, knowledge and experience, he has designed something that brilliantly captures and enhances the unique spirit of my garden. It is excellent and I am very pleased to recommend Rob Frier and Charlesworth Design.
