プロフィール

I can create for you a beautiful garden from small front/back gardens or courtyards to large rural landscapes, using both traditional and contemporary approaches. I will work with you on your requirements during an initial consultation session in your own home, and when we have agreed your requirements, I will produce the outline design for your garden. The detailed design stages and monitoring of the implementation of the design will follow on from this. Alternatively, if you already have a garden that you love but want help with the planting, I can create planting plans for your borders. I am a local Dorset garden designer, based near Dorchester, Dorset, and have a Diploma in Professional Garden Design from the Garden Design School, Bristol Botanic Garden with distinctions in my plant and hard landscaping portfolios. I have many years experience analysing requirements and managing projects in business.

Ann was superb from start to finish. From our initial meeting, giving her our brief, through to the design, plant selection and liaising with the landscape gardener and plant supplier. She is extremely professional and has an extensive knowledge of the different types of plants available for different soils and sun/shade conditions. WE highly recommend her.

It has been a privilege working with Ann for the past 3 years. We moved to Mudeford, Dorset and designed and built a contemporary house by the coast, it is a self build. Ann designed the front and back garden and provided detailed plans which included planting schedules, her experience and professionalism throughout the project has been outstanding. We are now coming to the end of the project and the result is amazing. Paula and Michael Keane

We chose Ann as our garden designer as we were seeking someone with the necessary skills to create a new garden within a former quarry. This required a novel approach using gabions to support the face of the quarry and substantial earthworks in order to create a country garden. Ann certainly achieved this for us and a lot more besides. She provided comprehensive outline and detail drawings together with plant schedules and specifications. Lacking any real knowledge ourselves she led us through her planting ideas and made it a very pleasant experience. She was professional at all times and met all agreed targets both in cost and time. We would have no hesitation in recommending her for your garden project.

We were very pleased with the way Ann worked with us, from the original design discussion through to the completion. The garden was an unusual shape with a very long boundary and the house not best placed on the plot either, which made the design a challenge. Ann came up with a hard landscape design which both satisfied our requirements along with the Planning Authorities needs and a planting scheme which complements the house and street scene. Whilst the project cost was much higher than our initial budget this was more due to the nature of the boundary rather than a lack of awareness and Ann did indicate from the start that our budget was probably 25% short. Ann was able to provide all the necessary drawings and attended to the planning application for us as well. We have no hesitation in recommending her services.

Ann has turned what was effectively a blank canvas of a grass-and-path plot, hedge-divided front-from-back, into a carefully landscaped-and-crafted wraparound, cottage-style garden which has been a delight to see come alive as its first season has progressed. From start to finish, Ann’s eye for detail, spec, design and landscaping has been superb. She has also been a pleasure to work with for her pleasant, fuss-free, down-to-earth approach plus sound skills, knowledge and workmanship. Mindful of our strict budgeting, she has given sound advice at all stages and we have been delighted by her choice of contractors. We are hugely grateful for this massive boost to our home and garden. Thank you, Ann!

Wanted to remove lawn and replace with low maintenance interesting front garden. Ann supplied the design and sourced the plants. I like the result which should look better when the 3 extra trees begin to leaf. Ann provides the design and if required the plants, but you would have to project manage yourself. I thought I hated gardening but having got rid of the 'mowing the lawn' I have become more interested in the plants and look forward to looking after them. So yes would recommend Ann to design your garden. Cost was under £5k

Ann was a pleasure to work with. She started by truly listening to what we thought we wanted and using her skills and experience developed the plan and ideas to be a garden that we are delighted to have and draws positive comments from all that see it.

We first contacted Ann last year about redesigning the garden at our home in Weymouth, which was at that time very neglected and in need of radical work. From our first meeting she was so enthusiastic about the project, and in a kind and friendly way guided us through the stages of the planning - from the outline plan, to the final detailed layout, including the plants and colours we liked. She worked closely with the landscapers (Gregorys), monitoring the construction from start to planting. Her design has produced a lovely, colourful garden that is exactly what we wanted. We will enjoy using it and watching it mature over many years to come. Ann’s work has also been much appreciated and admired by our neighbours! We highly recommend Ann.

It has been a delight to work with you and to oversee the construction of your garden.

Greg Walker

We have worked alongside Ann on a number of projects over the last 3 years, with styles ranging from Japanese to that of an English Country garden. From the outset, the information and plans we receive are accurately set out, with detailed drawings from which to work from. Communication between Ann, ourselves and the Client is always excellent. This ensures we can complete any project to the highest standard, within timescales. We always look forward to a project from Ann, they are of extremely high quality, interesting and well laid out, finished with colourful, diverse planting plans.

Thank you Greg; it is always a pleasure working with you and your teams. You all communicate extremely well and in a timely fashion. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Allan Morgan

Started planning the project with Ann last summer for a Japanese inspired garden. Design was exactly as per brief and she worked closely with the landscape contactors to ensure that the final product matched the design. The garden when completed certainly met if not exceeded our expectation. Friends and family have been impressed with what has been achieved. Overall cost of landscaping was expensive but we felt it was worth it. Very happy to have worked with Ann on this projected. High praise

Our garden was a funny shape and on quite a steep incline - no one was interested in taking on such a challenge until I was introduced to Ann. She was very enthusiastic, really listened to what we wanted in the garden and had some really good ideas to add. The end result was an absolutely stunning garden which is continuing to grow even more beautiful.

Thank you very much Sue for your review. I passed your garden the other day and it is looking beautiful.

Jayne Barron

We needed a 'big vision' for our new garden and that is exactly what Ann delivered. She listened carefully to our ideas and interpreted them into a flowing garden with wide sweeps of planting, generous paved areas and a curvaceous pond which reflects the sunsets just magnificently. As the construction process evolved so did some aspects of the original plan so we now have a garden which is not only Ann's design but a bit of ours too! I enjoyed a lovely morning discussing the planting schemes and we are looking forward to our first spring/summer, seeing some leaves on the trees and the continuing evolution of our garden; a garden which without Ann's vision coupled with her attention to detail simply wouldn't exist. Thank you.
