SUZANNE RAINFORD
Over this winter, during a period of quite unprecedented weather, our garden has been completely transformed by the BKD team. From the initial drawings, costings and meetings through to completion, Dominic has calmly communicated and guided the project. Absolutely everyone took great pride in their skills, were meticulous in their attention to detail, worked hard & efficiently and, given the amount of rain, kept everywhere as tidy and clean as possible. Costings have been adhered to and when changes were made to the original plan these too were discussed, costed and agreed to before they took place. We would have no hesitation in recommending BKD, everyone has been a pleasure to work with and we are delighted with our ‘new’ garden. More...

Loved Dominic's approach to designing our garden landscaping. We'd had some ideas, and he took these and built on them. We never felt railroaded or rushed.
We were really pleased to be able to recycle old York stone slabs in the scheme.
Ongoing dialogue as the job progressed was great, and the site team were a pleasure to have around.
Dominic's enthusiastic and knowledgeable help in choosing plants for us was extremely valuable.
We have no hesitation in recommending Bottle Kiln.

In June 2019 I employed Bottle Kiln Design to create a new front path and help me with planting new borders. This was the second time they had worked for me.
Dominic Stone is a pleasure to work with. He is obviously a skilled, artistic landscape designer and gardener, but also listens to the client to incorporate their ideas and requests. He is willing to accompany clients to nurseries and stone masons and is careful to advise regarding costs. His team, who carried out the work are skilled, pleasant to have around and tidied up every day.
In short I would thoroughly recommend this firm.

Professional job from start to finish. I was impressed with the management of the site and the the project overall. Really pleased with the results. We had stone gateposts repaired and new gates hung. Additional works undertaken included digging out concrete from behind an old stone wall to allow for a new hedge to be planted, and an old rockery dug out and landscaped. We also had some repairs to an old brick wall. I would recommend Bottle Kiln Design and plan to use this company again. More...

Bottle Kiln Design did an excellent job with our blank canvas garden. From a thoughtful design taking into account our requirements to bring in nature and the efficient manner the work was carried out with minimal disruption. We were kept fully informed of everything that was taking place and there were no delays or unexpected surprises along the way. The team were all great guys who worked really hard and made sure everything was tidied and cleaned up before leaving each day. Once the work was complete there was no trace of all the activity except for our beautiful new garden. Very highly recommend Dominic and his team at Bottle Kiln Design. More...

Hi Dominic designed and installed a garden at the end of our daughters self build project in November 2019, The work was of the highest standard, the guys were reliable and trustworthy and often went over and above to make sure everyone was 100%.
The volume of plants was a big surprise they just kept coming, I'm looking forward to seeing them in bloom in 2020.
they're coming back when it stops raining to quote on our garden, and would have no doubt on recommending them

Dominic operates a great service. It is so good to meet a builder that is honest, reliable and always is there to help.
Dominic replaced the conservatory roof and sorted out several problems with the existing window fittings. We now have a new conservatory again.
Morne supports Dominic and provides all the back up on the job.
Whenever there was an issue he sorted it. It was great to have them about.

In this hurly burly world is is quite extraordinary to find a person, a team, and a synthesis of cooperation, kindness, willingness, and sheer hard graft. It was an absolute delight to discover Dominic and the Bottle Kiln lads who could not have been better. Everything was first class, from the initial appointment with Dominic, softly spoken, keenly attentive to your requirements, prompt and professional in delivering a plan, and hugely efficient in delivering the plan. The lads never complained in spite of the weather and the trials of the job, were always courteous and smiling, and simply just got on with it with a glad heart. I couldn’t speak too highly of this squad - they are just the best. If you are thinking about it - just do it - you wont regret it. I would give them countless more than 5 stars. More...

We engaged Bottle Kiln to re-landscape our garden in summer 2019. We are very pleased with the finished job and with how the project was managed all the way through from the initial design to completion. It did take a little bit longer to complete than initial expectations, but our patience was rewarded with a great end result. Works done included splitting the garden onto two levels, laying tiles, wall, turf and planting. More...

Absolute delight to work with the Bottle Kiln team. Meticulous design and detailed accurate costings incorporating my own specific ideas, but with fantastic added vision and expertise. Dominic is very talented in designing sympathetically in a conservation/historic context and actively re-used original and reclaimed materials to deliver a garden space sympathetic to the house and an absolute pleasure to enjoy every day. Throughout the efficient 9 month landscaping process, his entire team were so hard working, personable, skilled and such a delight to have around. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. More...

Dominic and his talented team did an amazing job of turning an overgrown, poorly landscaped and unusable part of the garden in our new home, in to usable, nature friendly, feast for the eyes and senses appreciated by ourselves and our neighbours.
Dominic and his teams knowledge and attention to detail is beyond question. The quality of the work done by his team is to the highest standard, deadlines were met as were budgets. We actually increased our budget and added additional landscaping we were so pleased with the initial work. The site was kept clean and tidy at all times.
In the longterm development of our garden, we intend to continue to use Dominic and his team.

We highly recommend Dominic and his team; from the first phone call until the garden was finished, we were expertly guided and advised in a non-pressured way and as a result have a garden that is so much better than we imagined. All the team were reliable, efficient and skilled and despite challenges with the site and the weather remained good humoured through the whole project. More...

Bottle Kiln designed a beautiful front garden for me which fitted exactly into the difficult space available. The project was started on time and completed within the time frame.
The work was carried out extremely professionally and thoughtfully, with much attention to detail. Every day I admire my garden because I am so pleased with the result.
I would certainly recommend this reliable and highly professional firm to any one who wants to improve their home environment.

Bottle Kiln Design - very thorough work and kept informed from the outset of the project from design to planning and during the build. Dominic and his team were concientous all the way through with our needs and expectations. Like any project which was quiet large with the removal of the whole back of our existing dwelling (in the winter!) we knew with meetings on site what was being done and what was to be done. Decisions and changes were discussed all the way along and project managed in a way which was not disruptive considering the work that was involved. The budget was adhered to and it was no trouble to change things as the development progressed. The outcome met all our expectations and more. In addition we decided to commission the garden works alongside the build to complete the job. The after service also has to be commended and if any problem arises one of Dominic's team attended for any minor alterations. Overall very satisfied. More...
