Working with Jo has been fantastic. From piecing together our ideas out into a cohesive plan, liaising with the landscapers, to working out what plants would work well in our space. The end result is absolutely gorgeous, and to say I am delighted is an understatement. Thank you, Jo, for all your hard work. I absolutely love our new garden 😊 More...

Jo is so knowledge loving what she does. Jo knew exactly what we wanted and sorted it all out promptly. She gave me ongoing care advise for the plants and even let my little girl help out with the planting! Highly recommended.

Landscape Design

Although I had been reasonably happy with my back garden, the lawn was in a very poor state and the border edging was rotten and falling away. It was staring to look a mess and I wasn’t sure what to do with it. Jo, of Plan A Head Garden Design, couldn’t have been more helpful in suggesting ways to make it more manageable. She listened carefully to my ideas and incorporated them in a design for me which she later adapted, enabling me to have the work carried out in line with my limited budget. In addition she liaised with a couple of landscapers on my behalf. Eventually however, I chose a local firm to do the work. I am very happy with the service provided by Plan A Head Garden Design and would not hesitate to recommend them. More...

We would definitely recommend her.

We had quite a long wish list for our garden and Jo has managed to produce a wonderful design which ticked every box we asked. She was very flexible in the process and amended the drawings as we went so we could see the finished effect. In fact Jo was so good we also asked her to plan our front garden too. She is a wonderfully creative person, and is extremely reliable. We will be asking her to help us with planting in the future. If anybody needs garden plans I would highly recommend Jo of Plan A Head Garden Designs 👍 More...

The design fit the brief exactly, and with Jo's great knowledge of the best plants to use - the result has been even better than we had hoped for. Sticking to a budget and helping project manage the landscaping work - would couldn't recommend Jo enough. More...

Thank you Lucinda for your lovely review. It was a pleasure to be able to help your mum enjoy her garden

After adding a garden room at the end of our garden we felt it dominated the space and the view from the back of the house. Jo helped us to redesign the outdoor space to work with the new addition. After the hard landscaping was done we didn't know where to start with the planting. With a west facing garden we get a lot of sun on one side and mostly shade on the other. Jo listened to my vague ideas and looked at pictures I'd collected and came up with a planting plan. She also sourced the plants for us. We had a mix of young and more mature plants. We planted at the beginning of April and by June it looked like an established garden. Can't wait to see how it matures over the next couple of years. We are both chuffed to bits with the planting and my husband has no interest in plants!! We feel like we've gained an extra room. Working with Jo and listening to her advice has given me the confidence to add to the planting and move things around. Would highly recommend Plan a Head Garden Designs to anyone who wants to make the most of their outside space. More...

Jo really helped to transform our garden and although it has only just been planted it already looks amazing and can’t wait to see how it evolves. Jo listened to what we wanted and incorporated our views in a detailed plan. She sourced great quality plants and working alongside the Hambledon Landscapes team the plan came together. Really happy with my garden and would recommend. Thank you Jo. More...

We started thinking about landscaping our garden early last year and after a couple of false starts we found Jo at Plan A Head Garden Designs. What a find! We, well Jo, has transformed my sloping, lumpy, heavy clay garden - which was home to 52 assorted pots and some very sad grass into a space that I really love. Even hubby, who was dead against this project, really loves it. Jo is a lovely and knowledgeable lady who not only designed the garden but also supplied some lovely healthy plants to compliment the design. So impressed were the family, that my sister is now working with Jo to enhance her garden! Only one thing I would have done differently, I should have used Jo to manage the hard landscapers instead of trying to oversee that bit myself. All in all 5* rating for Jo and if we move anytime soon then it will be on the proviso that Jo comes to plan the garden. More...

Beautiful affordable and achievable. I never thought we’d be lucky enough to be able to have a garden design but so glad we did. We now have a plan going forward something to work towards. Jo took time to find out what we liked and how we use the garden. The final plan is beautiful she has even broken it down into areas so that we can see the garden unfold. We won’t be chucking in bedding plants just to brighten things up anymore we can focus on the end product. Thank you Jo. More...

Q&As

I love the fact that my job gets me out and about meeting new people and talking about something I feel passionate about ... gardens !

I wanted a job that was more flexible to work around my children. Whilst I loved my job at two large successful landscaping firms I felt pressurised into work full time hours. Whilst I am not afraid of hard work I wanted to be able to choose my own life/work balance. Owning my own business allows me the best of all worlds without compromising the enjoyment of my work.

I like to conduct my consultations in a very friendly, professional but unhurried manner. I like to take the time to listen to clients requirements, their ideas and their constraints whilst delivering my own considered opinions, providing thoughtful and inspirational design solutions. I will then translate this into a 2D CAD drawing that can be used by landscapers to install the clients dream garden.

Services

I can provide a range of services that begin with a detailed Garden Design; on one A3 scaled drawing will be a CAD designed garden overview. This will outline the hard and soft landscaping, elevation changes, materials, plants etc. On another will be a drawing showing measurements, electricity cables etc that a landscaper can work effectively from.

These drawings can be used to source landscaper quotes either independently or using reputable landscapers that I am affiliated to.

Planting plans can be designed for borders of any shape and size. This takes the guess work out of buying plants from the garden centre.

I will mark on the drawing the variety of each plant, the number and the space they will be planted in.

Plants can be purchased through trade price accounts and planted out if required
