Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Alphington, Devon, UK

“I asked Alice for advice on redesigning my garden in reshaping the path, choosing suitable plants and how to encompass a new shed suitable for the new environment. Alice understood my needs really quickly and came up with the design of the path which flows and compliments the natural materials of my house. The path curves beautifully and creates a desire to explore and see beyond. She has cleverly hidden my shed with planting and chosen specimens which allow the garden to look great all year round. Alice's plant knowledge was vast Alice was efficient, clear and on time with her delivery in an estimate, drawing and organisation of the works to be carried out. The garden was left clean and tidy and on budget. I was more than happy to pay what I consider to be a reasonable rate, for such a high quality piece of work and creative design.”

“From the initial planning stages, to the finished project, Laurence and his team kept us involved every step of the way. We wanted somewhere that was easy to maintain that had areas to entertain also, which is what he achieved. Can't recommend him enough.”

“Joe completely transformed our garden. Fantastic design and excellent quality work. I would definitely recommend Joe for everything garden related.”

“We use Laurence to design our projects as we find he listens to our clients and will design a garden to their needs and budget. He has a good idea of the cost implications and the practical side of how the garden is to be constructed. The drawings he produces are second to none and not only can the client picture the garden we can build within 10mm of the drawing and it will work. He has great vision and we would recommend his skill to anyone undertaking a landscaping project”

“Roger listened carefully to our requirements and came up with a plan that perfectly met them. Delivered outputs on time and at agreed cost. Are in process of working with him again.”

“We wanted to turn our garden into a relaxing space, that offered privacy from neighbouring properties. From our very first consultation with Ann, I felt completely at ease that we would be delighted with the end result. She took time to probe our high level thinking and really explore what we wanted to use our garden for, from entertaining and barbecues, to relaxation, and even what wildlife we wanted to attract. Ann took soil samples and went through in some detail what plants we wanted, and whether we wanted a garden that required a lot or little maintenance. She made it clear that she wanted to create a garden that integrated with our lifestyle. We discussed budget and timescales openly, which for us meant a design that we could implement in stages over a 3-4 year period. Ann worked very quickly and in just a couple of weeks she delivered the outline design to us in person taking the time to talk though her design and thinking. It took us by surprise, in a positive way. It defined a very creative use of what is a relatively large (but sloped) space, and incorporated all of the requirements we had specified, and on top of that had a 'wow' factor, that we could never have imagined. Over the next few weeks, Ann firmed up the design and provided several other views including construction plans for the landscapers to use, and planting plans. Each phase had an estimated costing, so we can understand clearly what we are heading into. We're massively excited about implementing Ann's design and watching it come together to transform our home life. Throughout the whole design process Ann was attentive, extremely personable, and her passion for her work was both obvious and engaging. The end result is beyond anything we imagined. I thoroughly recommend her garden design services. Andrew”

“Paul was a pleasure to work with, highly professional and willing to help in any way possible. He delivered an excellent result transforming this site from an useable site into a beautiful contemporary liveable space. I would highly recommend him to anyone!”

“Bestique and their visionary leader, Anoushka, are a remarkable and imaginative garden design and landscape project management company to work with. Anoushka was strong, brave and inspired in her wishes for a magical treehouse as part of a overall garden design, I was delighted to be invited to work with her - the whole team at Treehouse Life understood the wish and we were all excited to deliver. We love creating magic and adventure and Anoushka's leadership, communication and management through her client for us to flow and excell with this was a fabulous experience. I recommend Bestique with passion, hold on to your seat because she will deliver magic and make your wishes come true!”

“City Gardens re-laid our front lawn, which was in very poor condition. They killed the weeds, added more topsoil and laid turf. They were an experienced and agreeable team and we are delighted with the result. We will use their services to treat the lawn periodically and maintain its condition.”

“We moved three years ago, a downsize decision that left us with a small ugly garden. After spending two years on the house we felt it was the garden's turn, but the landscape guys we contacted were poor to useless. Then someone recommended Greenmantle, and from our first meeting with Francoise we knew we'd found who we needed. She has the perfect mixture of expertise, artistry, creativity and energy, and she's completely transformed our garden into a beautiful place that we enjoy every day... a superb blend of practical hard landscaping and colourful planting. Greenmantle does what it says "on the tin", fun to work with, strongly recommended.”
