In Bob and Gill’s words

“On Roger’s first visit to our rather unloved town house garden, he exuded so much enthusiasm and so many ideas that we were convinced he had the skills to transform it into a haven for us. His beautifully drawn plan showed a practical yet creative structure with wildlife friendly planting following our chosen colour scheme of whites, blues, and pinks.

We asked for one or two highlights of warmer yellows and oranges, which he cleverly incorporated. After discussion to fine tune our needs regarding size of patios, how much lawn area, height of wooden frameworks etc., the work began.

Deliveries for the hard landscaping materials and the removal of garden matter by skip was all coordinated and overseen by Roger in a very professional way and our garden soon began to take shape. He worked extremely hard and meticulously to move the project along, and after a few weeks we were ready to see the planting take shape. Roger carefully sourced perennials, annuals, shrubs and trees and got to work on creating the different areas we’d agreed on – spring flowers near the house, roses and climbers on the fences and framework, and lots of drifts of colour in the borders.

The whole effect was stunning and has continued to flower and look good for many months since completion in June. We have been really happy so see so many bees and butterflies attracted to the plants too.

Overall, a very successful outcome – thank you Roger.”
