Arthur Road Landscapes

Jane has created the most stunning garden, true to our character and lifestyle, beyond what I could ever have imagined. She instilled confidence to take bolder decisions than I would have been brave enough to try on my own. Her knowledge and professionalism, combined with her ability to design and deliver, assisted by her first-class team, made the whole process a pleasure. Every day I enjoy the changing views and love the variety of places to relax, entertain or simply potter. I am so pleased to have made the investment to create an elegant garden that continues to excite and delight. Thank you so much.

We gave Jane a difficult task with our tiny garden as we wanted to pack so much in to such a small space. Jane offered fresh, innovative ideas and provided much more than we could have imagined. What was different to so many other designers was that Jane worked within our budget and advised where we could cut costs and where to spend more. Jane also recommended the landscaper who truly brought the garden design to life and was meticulous, they were the perfect team. We absolutely love our garden, it's become the star of our home and the first thing visitors comment on when they walk through the door.

Nothing less than astounding. As some flowers wither, others come into bloom, creating a beautifully slow moving firework in our garden. We expected a professional result but this is far beyond that, this is sublime.

We employed Jane to design our garden and she did a great job. I had strong ideas of what I wanted and she helped me incorporate these ideas and bring the vision into reality. We like to entertain, so various elements were added to make this a garden designed for parties. It has worked well and we get lots of compliments for it. Jane was good at collaborating and making sensible suggestions and I feel we worked well as a team. The contractors she chose also did a good job in implementing it.

We have been working with Jane since Summer 2017 when we commissioned her to replan our beds and borders. She completely cleared these areas and replanted in October 2017. Surviving the winter and very hot/dry summer our garden now looks glorious. We are really enjoying see the different plants as lovely surprises popping up and flowering. Now Jane is maintaining so we don't ruin her great work as well as putting in bulbs ... I look forward to seeing that surprise in the Spring. Oh yes and Jane has always been reliable, friendly and professional.

Jane designed and project managed our front garden to a very high standard in 2017 (pics on the website). From initial briefing meetings through drawings to selecting materials,installation, planting and post-project follow-up Jane was a consulate professional, always available and a pleasure to work with.

We can't recommend Jane highly enough - she transformed our overgrown "jungle" to a beautiful, practical garden that is perfect for entertaining, relaxing and a great playground for our grandchildren. Jane is also maintaining the garden - she is professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with. We have been very pleased with all the work Jane has done for us.

Jane provided an excellent overall design and planting design when we decided to get rid of our swimming pool which took up over half the garden. We now have a wonderful space that works really well. Jane listens to her clients and paid particular attention to the fact that we wanted bees and butterflies to be visiting our garden for as much time as possible.

We hired Jane to design a planting plan, then source and plant in our newly built garden. She also gave us really sound advice on the hard scape plan, which we had designed ourselves. She was a pleasure to work - very practical, down to earth, and thoughtful about what would work for us. And the planting scheme is beautiful!

We hired Jane to redesign our back garden to better reflect our needs as the children grew older. We wanted a complete revamp and for it to look more grown up, whilst still allowing the children to use it for their needs. Jane spent time listening to our requirements and visiting the garden to make sure she got the design right. She researched some of the ideas we had that were new to her and incorporated them where possible. She helped in finding a contractor to do the actual landscaping work required, then completed the planting scheme herself. She was on hand throughout the landscaping work to answer any questions and advise on revisions to the plan if required. She then came back a couple of times after the transformation was complete, to check on the progress of the new plants and resolve any final loose ends. Throughout the process Jane was professional, approachable and friendly. She was readily available to respond to our questions and never hesitated to visit the garden if we felt that was needed. Her plans reflected our ideas for the garden and her attention to detail in the design specification ensured that the finished product was exactly as envisaged and on budget. In fact, our new garden probably exceeded our expectations! We would have no hesitation in recommending Arthur Road Landscapes.

Jane designed a fantastic garden for me in 2013, and I can't believe how much time I've spent enjoying it. It really is an alternative 'room' in the summer months, and even during autumn and winter there is plenty to look at. The planting was really varied and colourful, there always appeared to be something new and different happening in the garden. She really listened to me and my needs for low maintenance, which she has definitely achieved. It's really flexible space, perfect for both entertaining and relaxing.

The terrace is completely transformed and we can truly appreciate how much extra space we have. Jane’s enthusiasm and commitment to the task was contagious, it has transformed us into budding gardeners ourselves. We have been particularly impressed with the follow up we get throughout the year, which reflects her knowledge and passion. For example changing around plants which worked well with others that would compliment the garden, keeping it fresh and interesting. We also appreciate her monthly blog with ideas and tips.
