Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Castle Donington, Leicestershire, UK

“Butler Landscapes completed a landscape project (building a terraced area, pathways and driveways, two raised beds as well as a small amount of planting) in our suburban garden in the summer of 2016. We had plans for a garden design drawn up before meeting Sharon and Paul - but these needed modifying in order to keep the project within the budget. Paul was very helpful in suggesting the elements of re-design that would keep the price down to what we could afford, and having giving us a price he stuck to it for the entirety of the work - no hidden extras, no last minute requests for extra money. Compared to past experiences it was an absolute joy! I felt that both Sharon and Paul listened to what we wanted, and didn't try and persuade us to have a design or style that we were not comfortable with, but did suggest modifications that would improve on the the practicalities or look of the design - and we were very happy with these suggestions. The work itself was completed to a very high standard, the men working on the project worked hard and felt trustworthy, which was important to me as I was out at work for much of the time. The work did take longer to complete than initially anticipated, but this was largely due to the weather - which was not under Butler Landscapes' control. Paul ensured that all the loose ends were tied up before he asked for the final payment, coming back to the site a couple of times to ensure that all the last bits and pieces of work were finished. We are delighted with the end result and looking forward to enjoying it properly after the winter.”

“Highly recommend APT. Superb design service that evolves and gave us everything we requested and more. Matt and the team are great.”

“Dominic Stone of Bottle Kiln Design first provided a garden design and install contract at my previous property Old Engine Farm, Ashover Derbyshire in the early 1980's. I moved to Derry House, Matlock in 1997. I again sought Dominic out to provide a complete garden design and install, first in the late 1990's and again a more recently to refresh the original scheme with new paving to rear areas and to pave the original tarmac drive plus to lay significant surface water drainage channels and pipes. The experience I have of Dominic and his company is beyond excellent in terms of design expertise, product knowledge, installation skill, prompt work scheduling and commitment to his customer. His pricing has always been in my view realistic. In terms of his personal integrity, from the considerable experience I have had over a prolonged period of time it is beyond question, one hundred percent reliable.”

“We have dealt with Sam and his business for nearly two years. From concept to install to maintenance, Plantology have been nothing but outstanding. They have transformed our garden. The maintenance package offered is well worth the costs, investing in your garden when time is precious makes sense. The end results are phenomenal. Sam is a great communicator, always announcing his committed appointments to ensure all is ok. Genuine nice people at Plantology couldn’t recommend them highly enough.”

“We would like to recommend Jonathan at Jonathan-wild@hotmail.co.uk. He has helped us immensley in getting our new garden started, designing a fabulous bespoke green house and more recently, designing a perfect site for a North facing shady area which will look wonderful and we will send a photo once it is all planted up. The head gardener at our local Garden Centre was most impressed with Jonathan's design, in fact he gave us a discount!! Thanks Jonathan, you really understood our gardening needs and came within budget. Dee and Martin”

“Sophie has a rare talent for taking a boring space an making it into something truly wonderful. My front garden, which was a rectangle of bare earth is now a tropical oasis with lush palms, ferns, colourful heucheras and swaying grasses. We often receive compliments from passers by and visitors and it is known in my street as “mini Kew Gardens”. We absolutely love what Sophie has designed for us and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants to transform even then smallest garden space in to their own corner of paradise.”

“They resurfaced our courtyard, taking up the old Tarmac and laying a modern, but traditional looking cobble stone. Excellent job, Lads very polite and worked incredible hours! Highly recommended!”

“From the initial contact through to the finished product Joanne has delivered more than my expectations. I couldn't be more pleased with the design, choice of plants, planting and plant maintenance. Joanne is a throughly professional individual and I would highly recommend her (only wish I had the means to put the garden onto the site to show you)”

“We were bored with our square garden and had some ideas of how to make it more interesting but we needed someone to put them together in a coherent way. Sue more than lived up to our design expectations and was a great pleasure to work with. She listened well to our ideas and managed to incorporate all the features we wanted in a truly beautiful design. Now it is a really interesting garden with different views from different angles. There is a pleasure in walking round it via the new paths and it is lovely and green with a great structure I can build on over the years to come. A fantastically positive and collaborative experience.”

“Would highly recommend Phil Hirst Garden Design. We have never used a garden designer before but would use Phil again if ever needed. Our garden looks beautiful and everybody comments on it. Phil took on board what we asked for and came up with a really good plan. Only a year on now but it looks great.”
