“The Rolls Royce of garden design.”
“It was all very professional and anything that needed to be changed or tweaked, it was the ability to be able to do that. I found it very very professional but at the same time it was the personal sort of touch.”

“It was a smooth process from start to finish.”
“As a customer you want to make sure you’ve got the best possible work done and then the best treatment, and I feel like I’ve had that both.”
“Having the garden here is everything that I would’ve wanted as a little boy myself.”
“It was all very clear that the company was brilliant and it was all done perfectly down to a T, and leaves me a very happy man. It’s turned out exactly like it, and I love it.”
“The level of service was incredible.”
“We wanted a high-end garden that matched the specification of the house. Having seen some of the marketing material and some of the previous gardens The Garden Design Co have done, we knew you were the business to come to and deliver us the garden that we wanted.”
“They said it would take 6 weeks. It was actually completed in 5.”
“They said it would take 6 weeks. It was actually completed in 5, it would have been 4 but one of the suppliers sent the wrong slabs so out of their control. They turned up every day come rain or shine (and we had a lot of rain!) and worked all day. I was very impressed with their work ethic.”
