Planting dilemma resolved

After a complete garden make over, l struggled to put my planting ideas down in to a plan. So, we contacted Julie.

Julie listened to my ideas and developed them into what I had in mind. In many cases offering advice on plants based on her own experiences and took in to consideration cost, location, height and all year-round appeal.

Her plans were clear and detailed, with options built in to her presentation, for discussion.

Julie’s approach is friendly, open and flexible, keeping you informed throughout the process. The whole approach has been a really good experience and I would certainly recommend her.

Vision into reality

Julie is amazing!

She really listens to what you want and was very calm and patient when I was trying to explain in my very basic way my vision. I am not a gardener but did want my garden to look nice.

Julie was perfect, she has managed to make my gardening beautiful, whilst easily maintainable.

After - Garden view from house

Courtyard with a view

My wife and I commissioned Julie earlier this year and are delighted with the experience.

Having recently completed a major extension, we needed help to pull together the old garden and the new space. Julie tackled this with enthusiasm & skill, providing a scheme that we loved, and that our landscaper was able to easily put into practice.

The outcome is nothing short of stunning !!!

After Redesign - Garden Border

Brighton Courtyard Garden

We have a small garden behind a terraced house in Brighton and as a keen lover of sunshine and light was desperate to change my old dull garden for one with light and colour and a more Mediterranean theme.

I am delighted with the design Julie created after I showed her a few photos, although none exact, of what I had in mind. She captured my preferences exactly in her design and identified an excellent landscaper, Simon Scott, who turned Julie’s designs into reality.

I am delighted with the end result which has transformed our garden to my idea of a Mediterranean look, clean, bright, manageable and modern.

We are looking forward to spring when the plants start to grow. I would recommend Julie’s design work without hesitation.”

Summer planting

Welcome to our home

Knowing absolutely nothing about gardening I didn’t really have to much of an idea as to what to expect during the design process, we had a couple of things we wanted to achieve in the garden but nothing of any significance; Julie provided a clear and well structured approach to the design process, listening to the limited brief we had and then very quickly bringing ideas and suggestions to the table to end up with a design we were really pleased with.

Julie made the process very easy from end to end and it felt like she was going out of her way to make the process as cost effective as possible in going above and beyond in sourcing competitive quotes for topsoil and the plants.

I would absolutely recommend Julie without hesitation to others. Her service was top draw and her communication was brilliant, we constantly knew where we were and what was going on.”

Space for entertaining

I sit writing this after spending time pottering in the garden tidying and trimming to keep things looking tip-top as Summer turns to Autumn. This is something I would never have done in the past as we finally have a garden to be proud of. We now have an inspired layout comprising different seating and entertaining spaces, as well as colourful planting that really brings the garden to life.

The planting design was inspired – when we started the journey I just couldn’t have imagined that this aspect would turn out so well. Compared to the hard landscaping I had given this little thought, but now realise it’s so important to get right. When Julie showed me the design and the plant choices I knew that I was in safe hands. The planning scheme is designed to embrace the seasons as they change, so I’m really looking forward to watching the garden change over the coming year.

I found the design process was really thorough, from capturing the initial brief, taking measurements, producing layouts and planting plans. As the design evolved iteratively, I felt that my views were always taken on board and we were always able to discuss the implications of decisions that were made.

Julie was very good at bringing her experience to bear and often suggested new ideas to ensure that end product turned out well. Her communication was always clear and concise, conversations were always followed up by an email so we were clear on what was agreed.

I would recommend Julie’s design service, it was excellent and I felt in safe hands. She has an eye for detail that will ensure you are truly happy with the end product.
