Experten für Landschaftsgestaltung in Hadlow

“When I moved into my new home with 1 hectare of garden I needed help with landscaping it to keep it natural and water wise. I found David to have a good knowledge of indigenous plants, he interpreted my vision well and was a pleasure to work with. The garden has grown into itself and I am very happy with the outcome.”

“We contacted Adolfo Harrison Gardens as we needed to redesign our large garden. Adolfo was very professional and seemed well experienced. He was able to come up with some excellent solutions in relation to the issues we had with the configuration of our garden, showing an extended and solid knowledge in design, plants and flowers. Always presenting us with several options to ensure we had choices. He was also great at listening, a skill many traders lack! He always took the time to ensure he understood what we wanted to achieve, checking step by step along the redesigning process, to ensure we were happy with it. Unlike many other garden designers we had contacted, he did not question our budget nor did he try to raise it. On the contrary he was very understanding and looked at achieving what we wanted in creative ways. His punctuality and tidiness have been impeccable as well as his attention to details. He was also able to meet each deadline right on time as promised. He was very easy to get along with and made the whole process a pleasure. He also made the humongous job at hand seem easy and somewhat simple, always turning up with a smile and a can do attitude, making us feel at ease and relaxed too. We now have a wonderful garden that we can enjoy more than we could have ever imagined or hoped for, thanks to his suggestion to create different areas to enjoy at different times thought the day and year. We could have not wished for a better garden designer and would totally recommend him!”

“We first met Chris when he was exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show, very much admired the gardens he created and stayed in touch with him. Some years later we were able to come back to him and asked for a plan for our tiny Cottage garden in the New Forest. Then, it was an ugly, depressing 'easy care' space that no one really wanted to use, in a conservation area with a large listed shed in the middle and very exposed. The largest usable area was filled with steps, dank concrete crazy paving, drains, bins and a boiler. Renovation and redesign needed someone with real insight to visualise what it could become. Chris created 3 individual areas within the garden, each with a slightly different purpose and character. The biggest area is now a beautiful sun trap and herb garden paved with warm terracotta sandstone with table and chairs and a parasol. We use it all the time and somehow the boiler is less noticeable. We have a more formal screened seating area to look out onto the Forest without feeling observed and a secluded grassy back garden for complete peace and quiet. Chris didn't feel the need to completely empty the garden as some designers might, but thoughtfully incorporated existing plants and features into the design and was flexible about amending it - such as when a well was found during works. This meant our new garden had immediate character, not just lots of tiny, new plants. He was a real pleasure to work with - sensitive to our budgetary restraints and receptive to ideas. He was tactful when telling us that some things wouldn't work too. As he lives a long way away we used a local landscaper to do the hard landscaping and liaised with Chris as the work was done. He came down and supervised the planting and was tactful with the landscapers but got his way. Chris really knows his plants and did us a proper planting plan and plant list. Not only are the species carefully chosen to suit the aspect but we got the loveliest variety of each and the vast majority have thrived. We are thrilled with our garden, we love and cherish it. We regularly receive unsolicited compliments about our beautiful garden, how appropriate it is to the situation and people ask who designed it. It is much easier to look after and an enormously rewarding space to enjoy. I have not put down a cost as I can't remember - but it was definitely money well spent. I can't see how to attach photos, but if you contact him he will know which garden this is. I would absolutely recommend Chris, he is more than capable, he's first rate.”

“Hillman Gardens transformed our garden, creating a a fantastic space for our family on what had previously been unusable and unappealing. Duncan replaced low quality concrete slabs and pebble on sloping land with a level patio of very attractive sandstone slabs. He enclosed the garden with a high quality timber fence that he made up himself as the width of standard panels could not be used. In addition to the patio a new canopy/porch was added to the front of our house. Duncan designed this and used high quality materials - the result was a functional and very attractive feature. We are very thrilled with the results! Duncan worked with us to find materials and solutions that fit our budget, and was professional and extremely helpful throughout. He worked carefully around a two year old who still raves about him. I would recommend Hillman Gardens to anyone - particularly where creative approaches and attention to detail are important. A 5 star+ service.”

“A thoroughly professional and trustworthy group of award winning guys whom I have no hesitation to recommend. Built and maintain my current garden”

“Gold & Wild have transformed our open community spaces and private gardens with a refreshing passion, underpinned at all times with expert knowledge of both selection of plants and thereafter the individual needs of all the various types of flora for which they care. Careful recruitment of knowledgable team members ensures consistency, which extended to our winning 'Best Street' in Islington two years in a row, following which we thought others should have a chance.”

“In 2014 I decided to improve my garden and asked Caroline Crawford (www.ccgardendesign.co.uk) to help me. Caroline has incredible knowledge and put my random thoughts into a logical and achievable design. She is very clear in her communication and very professional, my garden is a joy and gets better year on year. If only I realised the value of having a garden properly designed years ago it would have saved me so much time and ££ and also I could have been spending more time enjoying my garden!! Can't recommend CC Garden Design highly enough.”

“I am writing this review for the work that Oliver from Borrowed Space had done for myself and my wife for our garden and transformed our dim looking garden to a relaxing beautiful escape that we can now relax in. Oliver was very professional and kept us up to date with everything he did and what we would require to transform our very dull garden to a paradise. I would recommend Oliver and his team again and have also advised friends and family.”

“Jo Chater designed our garden nine years ago when we bought a house that had recently been redeveloped and the garden had been badly damaged and compromised by the building works. Jo’s design and vision has resulted in our garden being a huge asset to our house: another beautiful room; and it is a pleasure to look at and use. Jo’s expertise included not just her plant knowledge and horticultural understanding, but also the overall task of turning this vision into reality, overseeing all the hard landscaping, the laying of the new lawn and the creation of a raised pond. Jo also kept within the allocated budget and clearly explained our options within this. Our garden has flourished over the last nine years and the design has proved to be the basis for it having matured into a beautiful space. It is much complimented by all who visit. We are very happy to recommend Jo. Thank you Jo for your expertise.”
