Laurence has designed a truly magical garden for us, that looks great all year round with colour and interest. He has wonderful knowledge of plants, and excellent creative design ideas.
He is very meticulous and offered valuable advice throughout. Laurence and Angela now maintain our garden and are both very hard working and professional in their attitude and approach. I would highly recommend them.

Laurence worked very closely with both myself and my partner, Alison. You could see he felt it was very important to get both of our views to ensure we got the garden design that we wanted. He didn’t fail. We have now got the garden of our dreams, which not only looks fantastic, but is also easy to maintain and keep in trim!

Laurence has created a really wonderful garden for us. He is knowledgeable, professional and gets on with the job when he says he will.
Kevin McCoy, Solihull Dec 2021
When we moved into our current home, about 13 years ago, the large garden had been more or less neglected for many years and we really didn't know where or how to start with it. Loz listened to the things that were important to us, (e.g. attracting more wildlife to the garden), and responded with a design that balanced the more formal, productive and natural areas, as well as a creating strong overall structure that linked them together.
In the years since the garden was completed, we've found maintaining it manageable and enjoyable. We now have a well-established orchard, with native hedgerows, vegetable beds, and a good sized lawn for relaxing and entertaining. The garden design still looks fresh and is getting better every year, as trees and hedgerows mature.
Elaine and Gary, Wythall Jan 2021
We were very pleased with the design plans that Laurence drew up for our garden. He listened to our thoughts and had lots of ideas and advice -- especially about the proportions of the garden. He drew up plans for a patio that beautifully complements the house and helped us choose an installer.
Gail Ariga, Solihull March 2021
We had our garden made over by Laurence. He was helpful and courteous at all times, he paid attention to what we wanted and came in at a very reasonable budget. We would have no hesitation in recommending his work.
Nigel Hobson, Tanworth in Arden Dec 2020
In 2010 we had just finished an extension at the rear of our house which took up part of the existing patio and garden. Our builder recommended using Laurence to design the patio as he had used him before in other such situations. Laurence listened to our brief, budget likes and needs and produced a beautiful, functional design that enhanced the house and garden. I would not hesitate in recommending Laurence to any prospective clients.

Thank you for creating my back garden out of the mess that was here before. Even though it's your design, I still feel like it's my garden as you turned by suggestions into reality, while adding your own ideas. I would have no hesitation recommending you to my friends and family.
Martin & Karen B. Knowlewood Road, Dorridge 2018
We have known Laurence for over 15 years, and when we moved to our current house we felt Laurence was the only choice for our garden design. He is creative, but sympathetic to the history and look & feel of the existing planting. He created wonderful light, colour, contours and space and we are delighted with the results. It is really a beautiful garden, in no small part thanks to Laurence's thoughtful design and faithful implementation.
