Alex was recommended to us and presented a plan that was beyond our wildest hopes. Alex has stayed in touch, managed each stage of our garden build, and introduced us to the right contractors. We couldn’t be happier with both the design and the support we have received. We would have no hesitation in recommending Alex to anyone wanting a new garden. A great guy with a great vision!

We wanted to professionally landscape our new property. Alex came up with a design which we absolutely loved. Nothing was too much trouble and his knowledge of plants was amazing. He was professional, reliable and very passionate about his work. We are extremely happy with the finished result and have had many passers by telling us our garden looks fantastic!

Alex was very approachable and came up with a cost effective design that now looks stunning. The plant selection has proved very hardy and the colour mix very pleasing to the eye. We are delighted with the landscaping of our new preschool and would recommend Alex to future customers
