“Sam is very helpful and listens to what you actually want and makes sensible suggestions. He can work within your preferred budget. We have used him on a number of occasions and will continue to do so. I would recommend him fully.”

“We hired STAC to undertake Re landscaping our front garden and side alley. They provided a very quick and professional service, with great end product. They helped lots and gave us back a clean well finished garden and front wall. Very easy to work with and bounce ideas off of. Would definitely recommend!”

“Paul possesses a depth of knowledge, a passion and an eye for detail that is second to none. He took our plot (ugly patio, laid to lawn, patchy and moss ridden) and transformed it into a thing of beauty which takes my breath away daily. He listened carefully to our aspirations and made some detailed notes which he then turned into a design upon which a detailed landscape and planting plan was developed for the landscaping team. Paul was onsite regularly throughout the 3 week project and carried out all of the planting himself. He even popped back to meet with us after completion to hand over and give us all the information and tips we need to maintain our new 'living room'. We are already using it more. The different layers and textures integrate to give a feeling of space and tranquility we never had before. The lighting casts shadows on the house and highlights our feature trees and shrubs which we look forward to watching grow. I've always lived my life at 100mph and Paul has given me something I've never had before; a space to relax and a hobby that I can grow into that brings a new element to my life. I whole-heartedly recommend Paul to anyone considering a garden project.”

“Highly knowledgeable about all aspects of planting in the garden. Impressive practical knowledge and skills when it comes to maintenance of a garden, bearing in mind budget implications and restrictions. There is not much Bramley Apple doesn't know about garden design, demonstrating a willingness and skill to research an effective solution to problems such as poor soil, challenging landscapes or difficult areas within the garden. After five years, our garden is maturing into a wonderful space which is used daily and has given us such lasting pleasure. We couldn't have wished for a better design!”

“When I was recommended The Shed Garden Design to design my garden, I had no idea just how good a decision it would be! John made the whole process a smooth and fun experience. He truly cares about what you need and he went above and beyond to make sure I was 100% happy with the final master plan which was past onto my contractors who found it easy to follow and executed the build, as per the design, with no issues. I am more than happy to give The Shed Garden Design five stars and look forward to spending as much time as possible in my stunning new garden!”

“This was a big job. 11 trees had been felled to allow maximum use of space. I required preparation of ground; about 30 yards by 5 for turf, erection of about 20 yards of high fencing, decking of about 30 sq yds and about 25 yards of raised beds. Tim was prompt in arranging initial visit and returned a few days later with an estimate verbally approaching five figures. His final estimate was into five figures. The work was more time consuming than envisaged but he and his enthusiatic team including partner Max put their heart and soul into it. His gregariousness, skill and know how prompted me to commission a lot of additional work including erecting a plinth for a new shed to be constructed upon, relocating and landscaping a pond and additional raised beds. He supplied about 200 assorted plants of which all but one are thriving. I can thoroughly recommend Tim for any landscaping work. Indeed a neighbour over our fence was so impressed by my garden transformed that he commissioned Tim for his garden work which I`ve seen and is also of an equally high quality. This contractor is not a "I`ll beat the other guy`s price" type of business. He offers a bespoke service and will give the customer choices. Whatever choice is made he will I`m certain do a superlative job as he has done for me. I`ve already requested he returns next Spring and Autumn to do routine maintenace on the lawn and decking. Dreamscapes has lived up to its name and has given my dream garden.”

“Vicki is an excellent garden designer. She really listened to the brief I gave her and delivered an exceptionally beautiful garden which is easy to maintain but has all the elements which we requested. It has year round colour and interest - which was not easy to achieve considering that we have really poor soil. She never minded if I vetoed a plant suggestion that she had made and always came up with several more possibilities. We get so much pleasure from our garden now and Vicki continues to provide advice and help. I can't rate her highly enough!”

“New Form Landscapes Ltd designed a modern family garden for us in St Albans. We worked together to come up with a plan based on their knowledge, experience and ideas. The result was beautiful! It was as we expected! They were responsive, reliable, flexible, tidy and easy to work with. We would highly recommend using their services. Mr and Mrs N Hauduc”

“We brought in HortiServices to landscape our garden. Rob took on a design we had made up, adapted the design to our needs and completed the work in about three weeks. He had excellent contacts with other tradesmen as and when we needed them and gave great advice on the planting of our garden. I would recommend HortiServices for any kind of landscaping and garden work”

“The site was not very promising, with steep slopes and a lot of shade from a large yew tree, yet Jacqui created a beautiful garden,with imaginative walls and other features. She also listened to our request for as much colour as possible throughout the year. The result has been much admired and is getting better each year as the plants develop. Her plan was also very practical and ensured that the plants did not slide down the steep slopes despite some very wet winters. As a result, they are now firmly established.”
