Testimonials

Garden Design
Robin & Diana, 
Theydon Bois, Essex.
We happened upon Lois more by luck than judgement, but we were obviously guided by fate. Lois has worked with us tirelessly, taking on board our ideas and embellishing them with her own.   The garden design was meticulously prepared, based on fastidious measurements, resulting in exactly what we wanted.  Lois then prepared a planting plan detailing every plant in its exact position and this again reflected our thoughts and Lois’s expert suggestions. Lois then showed her ability to get her hands dirty and helped us plant what we had retained from our previous layout; she also sourced and planted her additions to compliment with colour, texture and seasonal plants. We heartily recommend Lois to anyone who loves a garden and plants.

​Eddie and Lorraine Wilson,
Loughton, Essex.
Lois came highly recommended to us and provided an excellent service. She worked closely with both of us and produced a comprehensive garden design and planting plan which far exceeded our expectations.
Lois’s imaginative design, attention to detail and coordination with our landscaper resulted in a garden which we are very proud of and the envy of our family, friends and neighbours.Lois understood the style and feel of the garden that we were hoping for. She liaised closely with us over several visits and chose plants which were best suited for our garden conditions and the style of planting. She produced an extensive plan portfolio showing detailed colour positional diagrams etc and also included a detailed after care information section to help maintain the garden to its best.

The plant supplier that Lois chose provided high quality plants. Lois was on site for delivery of these plants to ensure the required plants arrived. Whilst Lois was on site planting, great care was taken by her in making sure that the plants remained in tiptop order and were planted in the optimum conditions.

Lois always answered our many questions with great expertise and will remain someone who we will always contact for any further advice and help in the future.

The whole experience of working with Lois, Phil the landscaper and his team was a pleasurable one which we would recommend to anyone. We were happy to go to work and leave Lois, Phil and his boys with the house keys to carry out the required work knowing that they were all trustworthy and dependable. At the end of every day it was exciting to come home and see all the progress that had been made. The site was always left clean and tidy at the end of the day before we came home. Phil and Lois would telephone daily to keep us up to date with any issues and report on the day’s work.

We now have a garden which fulfils all our needs – somewhere to relax and entertain somewhere that is safe for our daughter to play in and somewhere that we can enjoy our gardening hobby.

Lois is someone who we happily recommend to anyone who is looking for a competent and professional garden designer. We know as time on goes Lois will go from strength to strength and flourish and we wish her well in her chosen career.

    Planting Design

   planting

Joyce E.Raine,
Staples rd, Loughton, Essex.
I’m very pleased with the stepping stones and the planting choice which Lois chose was excellent. Before going outside to weed was a nightmare, and unsafe for a elderly woman to stand on bare soil, but now maintaining it couldn't be easier with the stepping stones. Thank you Lois I recommend her to anyone.   

John & Galina Pendleton
The Drive, Loughton, Essex.
Lois is a young and enthusiastic garden designer, who listens carefully to our ideas for our garden, as well as offering planting advice and advising as to what will and will not grow in our garden. Since she started working with us in April 2012, as well as looking after the general upkeep of our front and back gardens,
Lois has endeavoured to inform us of all the plants and their positions in our front rock garden by way of a isometric coloured drawing which is 3d, together with a planting plan of the existing plants with a few new recommendation from Lois to plant to enhance the planting scheme. Next year we will certainly engage Lois to map our larger back garden as well.

If Lois says, that she will start work at nine, then we know exactly when the doorbell will ring; and if Lois says that it will take three hours to clear, tidy or plant an area, then she will work for three hours solid, or until the task is completed, in order to keep to any schedule agreed! We would certainly recommend Lois, a garden designer with a true passion for gardens and gardening! And a very amiable person as well!

Raj Varsani, Wanstead, London.
We were very pleased with the level of service and work completed by Lois, right from the initial consultation which was very informative, through to the different plant options and garden plan which helped us to visualise the results before we committed to the work ,all at a competitive price. Overall very happy, and can't wait until spring to see the results of the work in full. 

Megan, Queens rd, Loughton, Essex.
Lois designed and planted an area in my front garden. Her design was imaginative and she is very knowledgeable about the chosen plants, which complimented each other. Lois also provided helpful aftercare details. I would recommend Lois to any one who needs any planting done, I’m very happy with the plant choice and advice she gave me.

We have employed Lois as a part time gardener since May 2012. She has a friendly personality and proved herself to be a knowledgeable, effective and competent gardener who has fulfilled all our hopes and expectations. We have no hesitation in recommending her for work of a similar nature.
