Design and build are a team effort. I am very fortunate to have an amazing team of designers, landscapers & horticulturists, who are as passionate and dedicated as I am.
Unique Selling Point?
Only one phone call needed and we will look after the whole project! We design, build and maintain gardens so I can offer everything in-house, from the initial consultation, the garden design, the complete build, project managing the build and even maintaining the new garden for years to come.
Selling your work?
My clients will usually study our website and Instagram in detail and read all our 5 star Google reviews. They contact us because they really like the high standard of our work and understand that the whole experience will be enjoyable and hassle free. But I love to get in front of my clients and my enthusiasm and my passion for my work is what sells my designs.
Handling client expectations?
We have a robust set of tried and tested systems and processes in
place, so our clients are always very clear what to expect along the journey. Discussing budget at the onset and regular communication is key.
