Green Dot Gardens
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Shaftesbury.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 March 2024
“We are so impressed with the quality of this product and the creativity of these designs . The modular PODDs in particular are stunning and clearly transform an outdoor area into a versatile and stylish way of life. We don't have heaps of room in our outdoor area so was great to see the various projects they've completed for courtyards and townhouses - it gives us hope that garden designers out there are thinking outside the box! Looks amazing.”

“Paul and his team at Green & Gorgeous have been maintaining and improving our garden since September 2007. We have employed them on a weekly basis for over 7 years. As well as maintenance they have taken on hard landscaping and design projects for us. The team are personable, knowledgeable, efficient and proactive. I am so proud of our garden, it always looks tidy and is stunning when in bloom thanks to G&G - I would highly recommend their services.”

Iron Butterfly Design
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Shaftesbury.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 July 2015
“Claire of Iron Butterfly Design is an exceptional garden designer with a fabulous eye for detail as well as deep knowledge and expertise about plants. She is clearly passionate about her work and this shines through in her work ethic and dedication to the job. We were very fortunate to find Claire last year (our garden is the Childs Hill courtyard garden featured on her website) when we were doing major renovation work and she immediately stood out from other garden designers we interviewed . Not only was her fee very reasonable, she was also happy to work to our budget and tailor the project to our requirements. She came up with a fantastic design that would work in our tricky awkward-shaped garden and she was patient when explaining things to us (complete garden novices). She was always respectful of our preferences while at the same time not being afraid to give advice and feedback. Claire sourced and spec-ed hard and soft landscaping materials for us, designed custom built-in storage benches and presented her designs beautifully, with great attention to detail. She was 100% reliable and punctual, very resourceful in finding alternatives if we asked her to, and very flexible. She was also very considerate of our house and ensured that it remained clean - no mean feat when carrying plants, compost etc through the living room! Claire totally transformed our back garden from a drab and depressing space to a beautiful zen-like courtyard retreat. It is now our favourite space in the house. Claire is now based in Bristol but lucky for us, she still recently found the time to come back all the way to London to do some maintenance work on our garden, as well as transform our front garden too ! We think her willingness to go the extra mile says it all. Friends and family who come to visit always ask us who designed our garden. Not only is Claire a talented, reliable and hardworking garden designer, she's also a lovely, friendly and approachable person! We can't recommend her highly enough.”

“Rosie has recently worked for me on the design for a London garden. She had produced excellent specification drawings, on time and on budget. Extremely hard working and a delight to work alongside. Joanna Archer Garden Design”
Ruth Bridgeman Garden Design
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Shaftesbury.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 November 2020
“We called on Ruth for help to turn part of our unused south facing driveway into a small garden space. We wanted privacy, but at the same time didn't want to create a bleak barrier to the surrounding neighbours. Ruth's design blew us away and we knew from the offset that she got us. We were lucky enough to be able to do the work ourselves, but Ruth has been with us all the way - troubleshooting effectively when needed and encouraging us with her enthusiasm for the project. The outcome is a stunning, private, contemporary sun trap that we use every day. We can't recommend Ruth highly enough.”
Fi Boyle Garden Design
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Shaftesbury.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 March 2019
“Fi is that rare person who not only has a wonderful eye for design, a passion for and deep knowledge of plant; but really listens to and works with her clients. Added to which she is a real grafter and will roll up her sleeves and help with planting. We have been clients of hers since she started and although she has moved on to bigger and better projects she treats us just as she always did. She is a gem and we highly recommend her.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 March 2024
“Terrific, from start to finish! Everything you want: professional, reliable, capable, hardworking with great advice and suggestions and just a first-class end result. Really pleased with the high quality work from Green Tree Gardens, would certainly recommend. Dave and team did a brilliant job redesigning and replacing a complicated 50ft boundary fence, rebuilding a wall, and relaying tired slabs and block paving. Worked tirelessly through the cold and wet! Everything left beautifully clean and tidy afterwards. Very pleased.”
Robert Kennett ~ Garden Designer
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Shaftesbury.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 October 2023
“Robert designed a courtyard style planting plan, including car parking spaces, for our planning application with Dorset Council. We are converting redundant farm barns into holiday accommodation. We are really pleased with Robert's design, as were the planners, and the use of plants and trees will blend perfectly in our rural farm setting in the Isle of Purbeck.”
