Ann was a pleasure to work with. She started by truly listening to what we thought we wanted and using her skills and experience developed the plan and ideas to be a garden that we are delighted to have and draws positive comments from all that see it.

We first contacted Ann last year about redesigning the garden at our home in Weymouth, which was at that time very neglected and in need of radical work.
From our first meeting she was so enthusiastic about the project, and in a kind and friendly way guided us through the stages of the planning - from the outline plan, to the final detailed layout, including the plants and colours we liked. She worked closely with the landscapers (Gregorys), monitoring the construction from start to planting. Her design has produced a lovely, colourful garden that is exactly what we wanted. We will enjoy using it and watching it mature over many years to come. Ann’s work has also been much appreciated and admired by our neighbours!
We highly recommend Ann.

We have worked alongside Ann on a number of projects over the last 3 years, with styles ranging from Japanese to that of an English Country garden.
From the outset, the information and plans we receive are accurately set out, with detailed drawings from which to work from. Communication between Ann, ourselves and the Client is always excellent. This ensures we can complete any project to the highest standard, within timescales.
We always look forward to a project from Ann, they are of extremely high quality, interesting and well laid out, finished with colourful, diverse planting plans.

Started planning the project with Ann last summer for a Japanese inspired garden. Design was exactly as per brief and she worked closely with the landscape contactors to ensure that the final product matched the design. The garden when completed certainly met if not exceeded our expectation. Friends and family have been impressed with what has been achieved. Overall cost of landscaping was expensive but we felt it was worth it. Very happy to have worked with Ann on this projected. High praise More...

Our garden was a funny shape and on quite a steep incline - no one was interested in taking on such a challenge until I was introduced to Ann. She was very enthusiastic, really listened to what we wanted in the garden and had some really good ideas to add. The end result was an absolutely stunning garden which is continuing to grow even more beautiful. More...

We needed a 'big vision' for our new garden and that is exactly what Ann delivered. She listened carefully to our ideas and interpreted them into a flowing garden with wide sweeps of planting, generous paved areas and a curvaceous pond which reflects the sunsets just magnificently. As the construction process evolved so did some aspects of the original plan so we now have a garden which is not only Ann's design but a bit of ours too! I enjoyed a lovely morning discussing the planting schemes and we are looking forward to our first spring/summer, seeing some leaves on the trees and the continuing evolution of our garden; a garden which without Ann's vision coupled with her attention to detail simply wouldn't exist. Thank you. More...

Connor managed the team who constructed one of my Japanese garden designs near Ringwood, Dorset. Once we had agreed the hard landscaping materials he clearly laid out his plan for the construction and throughout the project kept me informed of any changes to the plan. He carefully went through my d...

Ann developed a Japanese garden plan for my front and back garden incorporating various rocks, stones, stone lanterns, paved areas, stairs and walkways.
Planting included various trees, shrubs, and ground cover - in excess of 1,000 plants.
The Plan was very professional and clear to understand, and was redeveloped over several months as new ideas were added into the plan on a very timely basis.
Ann also recommended, landscapers, building materials, planting, and took part in overseeing acquisitions, and building work, and overall project oversight.
My garden has exceeded all expectations and I owe it all to Ann - hiring her was easily the best decision I made during the entire project.
