We have just had Budding Landscape
Design to design and replant our flower beds. It has been a great experience and Christine and her landscape gardeners were a joy to work with.

Very good designer who listened to my ideas and was willing to adapt to budget. Christine introduced me to some different plants and was happy to give me my head with the planting. Not an easy garden as very small but have managed to fit a huge amount in. Would recommend this company with no hesitation. Thank you. More...

Chris came up with a fantastic design taking into account my desire for an easy maintenance, pet and wildlife friendly garden. She was able to bring in a wealth of experience to ensure the brief was met. Always responsive and approachable, thoroughly recommend. More...

We have a relatively small garden and following a recent extension I wanted something to create as much reasonable space with what was left. Christine listened to my general idea before designing the garden accordingly. Her chosen, regular team swooped in and completed the task with the minimal fuss despite the adverse conditions they faced. We now have the garden and space we wanted and can sit back and wait for the spring to watch the plants grow and garden to bloom, thanks to Christine's design. More...

Christine has just helped us with what we thought was an impossible a very challenging task. A very sloped bank covered in ground elder and looking extremely messy and neglected. But Chris came in and came up with a plan and she pulled it off, we won’t see the full benefit until next year but all the ground elder has gone and some lovely plants have been planted so very excited to see it as it matures. Chris is very professional, obliging and goes out of her way to give you what you are looking for. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking advice from an expert garden designer. More...

I had several designers visit my garden to provide their ideas and quotes. Christine was the only one who really listened to what I wanted and whose quote came in on budget. Delivery of the project was efficient and on time. The finished result has exceeded my expectations and I'm looking forward to spending many happy years in a garden that suits me. I would be extremely happy to recommend Budding Landscape Design. More...

Chris was fantastic from start to finish, she designed and project-managed the whole garden which was finished in a week. I’m really pleased I used her recommended builders and contacts as they were all excellent. Highly recommended all round.

Christine was amazing start to finish and is still helping me with my ongoing project - she made alot of time to understand what it was I wanted from
The garden transformation project and attended the site to understand further then created 3D plans to which I could refer to time after time to ensure that what I wanted was implemented and anything that perhaps didn’t work alternatives were suggested - we also discussed budgets and Christine was able to make suggestions so that we came out under budget and still achieved what we wanted - overall a brilliant service from Christine and her team! Would definitely recommend Budding Landscapes for your garden project!

We found working with a garden designer very rewarding. She understood the brief and showed us how to achieve it in ways we would never have thought of. Our garden is now very attractive and much easier to manage. The team she works with are efficient and very pleasant. We will use them again for our front garden. Thank you Christine. More...

It was a real pleasure working with you both.
Errol Mc
Landscaping
Had a great experience. I've never had a garden, so I had lots of questions and some misguided ideas. BLD started with a home visit and chat to confirm what I was looking for, then produced 3x different designs. I'm very happy with the services and appreciate the patience shown. Further works to follow. More...

Thanks! It was a lovely project to work on and I look forward to implementation in the Spring
What do you love most about your job?
Being able to bring alive a client’s requirements to paint a perfect picture with plants and hard landscaping
What inspired you to start your own business?
A love of the infinite palette of plants. Having loved gardening from an early age, it’s gratifying to be able to help nurture that passion in others too
Why should our clients choose you?
If they have some ideas of what they want but don’t know where to start in bringing it all together then that’s where I can design their dream outside space. I design to a client’s needs rather than my own, being a conduit for their imagination
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I am able to provide services face to face or over Zoom/ Teams.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
More work has been done remotely and where I visit a site, I adhere to safe distancing, wearing a mask and the use of hand sanitizer. I am happy to meet purely outside rather than inside the client’s home.
Garden Design & implementation
Full turnkey solution. Provide initial garden survey, design brief though to concept presentation, design drawings in 2D and 3D. Planting plans, bill of works, contractor selection if required and management and final planting. I also work with a trusted contractor who provides all the hard landscaping capability and can undertake all groundworks according to my specifications.
Planting
As part of a design brief, if a client wishes for me to install the plants, then I can undertake this at an extra cost. I am unable to undertake planting without providing a full design solution
Phased Approach
Not everyone has the budget for a full garden re-design, despite how much they quote on TV!
With this in mind, I can design a space that allows for a phased implementation so that as budget becomes available you can implement the next phase without compromising the first or subsequent.
At the quotation phase, based on the design concepts, you can prioritise what makes a functional outside space for you and leave the rest for another time, knowing that it will all fit the brief and match seamlessly.
