Tom Howard Garden Design and Landscaping

Tom listened carefully to the issues we had with our existing garden and provided us with a design that delivered exactly what we were hoping for. He was helpful and responsive and was great at keeping us updated on timing and costs. The team dealt well with a small tricky site and awful weather to deliver a garden that we really love!

Tom has been brilliant with our garden design for our house in France, flying over for the day and bringing his drone to look at the possibilities! We had to take into account the slope on the land, the trees and planting that were typical for the area and a bespoke requirement to design for an outdoor kitchen, plus a sunken seating area. Tom designed thoughtfully around the basement windows, with a lovely path running alongside and a glass wall to allow maximum light. We also have a bespoke lighting plan which we're putting in place next year. The images generated enabled us to picture exactly what the space would look like.

Tom and his team have recently completed an amazing makeover of our Wimbledon Garden. The brief was to add colour, texture and warmth to the old sunken terrace which was dominated by cold concrete and grey slate and in so doing bring the garden closer the house. Tom’s design and Andrei’s (+team) skilful implementation truly transformed the space and fully met the challenging brief. We are delighted with the outcome and look forward to enjoying its full glory for years to come.

Tom came highly recommended to us and despite his very busy schedule he managed to squeeze us in and we are very glad that he did! He has transformed our small and neglected back garden into a much prettier and plant filled space that has blossomed very quickly this summer. He answered our brief for increased privacy and screening, put in some beautiful hardscaping and much improved fencing, as well as a lovely variety of foliage. He has done a lot with a small space and also kept to our budget. Tom is a pleasure to work with - he is always upbeat with a smile on his face and will patiently resolve any worries or issues throughout the process. Highly recommend!

Tom’s vision and subsequent design have totally transformed our garden. Tom perfectly understood our brief and created a fantastic space which we are absolutely thrilled with. Dealing with Tom and his team throughout the whole process, from initial meeting to completion, was a pleasure. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Tom oversaw the complete re-design of our Wimbledon garden. He transformed what had been a dingy, concrete-covered back yard into a beautiful, green-filled space. From start to finish, Tom made the entire process a smooth and collaborative experience. He listened to our wishes and came up with an incredible design, which went far beyond anything we had hoped for. We are absolutely delighted with the finished result. Tom and his team were efficient and courteous throughout; I cannot recommend him highly enough.

We engaged Tom for a challenging project to maximise the small 16m2 courtyard at the rear of our property. The brief was to create an outdoor living space that complimented the design of the interior, flowed seamlessly from the kitchen/dining area and featured predominantly green planting. To add some complications to the design we requested a built-in BBQ and secure storage for two bikes. Tom intuitively understood what we were trying to create and provided a range of excellent options that made it easy to arrive at a final design. Tom’s team were hardworking, respectful and patient; even though they were working in a challenging space with much less room than they were used to. The build time was exactly what Tom had estimated with everything completed to a high standard especially the artisan herringbone pattern limestone paving. Throughout the process Tom was a pleasure to work with – communicative, responsive and even though this was a small project, we felt Tom and the team gave it their full focus and attention. We are thrilled with the result including the innovative use of space, the layered raised planting complimenting the F&B All Black slatted timber, lighting, the Artorius Faber paving and the floating Meranti benches. We could not recommend Tom highly enough across all aspects of this project especially the high-quality end result – a beautiful space that is a pleasure to be in and looks fantastic throughout the seasons and any time of day.

The whole experience of engaging Tom and his team (to redesign my garden) was a unique one for me from my past experiences with contractors. Quite simply he was an absolute pleasure to deal with, the standard of work was outstanding and exceeded my expectations. Aside from being incredibly talented, his staff were polite and punctual and the project finished on time despite the supply chain issues experienced by all contractors for materials at present. I cannot recommend Tom and his team highly enough. A extremely happy customer.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Tom and his team and I can’t recommend him enough. Having recently completed a gut renovation of our house we engaged Tom to transform our small backyard and I’m so glad we did. The results are simply incredible. From initial consultation to design and build, Tom was a great communicator and project manager which led to the only no stress project of our build. The work was done to an incredibly high standard, on time and on budget which seems to be a rarity these days. His ideas have both maximized our space with a clever hidden shed and created a second living area for us with the most amazing wood work and seating. I can’t stop staring at it. I’m not sure if/when we will have another garden to do but wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again and you should too. Thanks Tom!

We approached a number of garden designers before meeting Tom Howard, and from the outset his professionalism, eye for detail and design were just exceptional, and he stood head and shoulders above the rest. From this first meeting, throughout the creative design process and complex building work on a sloped site, the whole experience of working with Tom and his team has been been nothing short of outstanding, and importantly to us- stress free! Tom is an excellent communicator, problem solver and project manager, and the his whole approach to our project was completely refreshing. It was such a pleasure working with Tom and his team, and we are absolute thrilled with our beautiful new garden terrace. Thanks so much Tom! We look forward to you designing the rest of our garden!

I would recommend Tom and his team without hesitation. From my initial telephone call all the way through to completion of the project, Tom was unfailingly professional and inspired me with confidence. The design phase in particular - building on a few ideas thrown around during Tom’s initial visit - was also a lot of fun! In true collaborative fashion, Tom’s experience and eye for the detail honed my loose vision for everything I wanted the garden to contain into a beautiful design that fitted together the different elements perfectly. Despite lockdowns, challenging weather conditions and nationwide shortages of materials and appliances, Tom and his hard-working team (together with additional contractors - all of whom Tom organises) completed the project on schedule and to budget. One of Tom’s strengths is his communication skills. I was always kept fully informed of timescales and costs so there was never any chance of unwelcome surprises. We now have the multi-functional outdoor space that we’ve long been talking about. It is a joy to be in (and to look at) and has added a whole new dimension to our living space. I’m thrilled that we found Tom who was able to bring the dream to reality.

Tom did a wonderful job designing and building our garden. Not only is Tom highly professional, he has excellent design aesthetic and is generally a very nice person to deal with. Importantly, he keeps his team to the very high standard and it translates into well above average execution quality. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

We were fortunate enough to have seen Tom’s work in our neighbours garden and knew immediately that we wanted to work with him. From the very beginning Tom carefully considered our thoughts and ideas when producing designs and was always willing to discuss each idea in detail. Tom is a great communicator and extremely knowledgable about plants, materials, colours etc. So this gave us a lot of confidence in his suggestions and recommendations. We are blown away with the transformation to our garden, it has exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Tom!

We would thoroughly recommend using Tom Howard for your garden project. We did a complete revamp, essentially starting with a blank canvas. The process to agree the design was excellent, with Tom providing 3 alternatives and then we mixed and matched to come up with the final design. He incorporated our input so we ended with a design we are really happy with. We also wanted a pergola and Tom did a lot of research to find the right design and company to supply it (Garden Design - Renson canopy). The entire garden installation went smoothly and on time. Tom dealt very well with any questions along the way - given the initial design process is so thorough there really are no surprises. His team of contractors were all excellent to deal with so the whole process was straightforward and enjoyable. Watching his plans come to life was very exciting. We are now thoroughly enjoying our new garden and are thrilled with both how it looks and functions - great job thanks very much Tom and team.

Tom's service was fantastic from start (design) to completion of the works. The design was professional and hardly required any amendments because Tom clearly understood what we were trying to achieve and pretty much got it right the first time around. The 2D and 3D render/designs were very helpful to visualise. The work itself completed without a hitch. Tom was flexible with some additional work and also liaised with other contractors (our builders) plus recommended (and liaised with) others (outdoor kitchen, railings) and recommended some good places to look for materials. His communications were also very clear and professional and he was very responsive - all of which go a long way in this business. We would happily recommend him to others.

Tom and his team did a fantastic job for the small garden space that we had. Tom conceptualised the space and was able to to incorporate so many details in the garden design that we were amazed. He also implemented the design impeccably. Having had experiences with other building contractors, we can safely say we have not seen such a professional team. Everything was well planned, there were no glitches. The project was delivered well on time and within the budget that Tom had indicated. The first day of the project it was snowing but that did not deter the team. They worked ceaselessly for 5 weeks. Andrei the main work man was superb. Tom and his team's attention to detail was amazing. Every small nook was taken care of. For our very small garden Tom's design is thoughtful and combines the various elements that we wanted including a 130kg statue. We cant recommend him enough.

Tom and his team are exceptional - both in terms of design and construction! Tom designed a truly fantastic garden that was perfect for the layout and available space. His ability to design to the space and integrate colors and structures is world class. Moreover, his construction team members are top notch. His team have years of experience and are always professional and courteous. Finally Tom brings a personal touch. He works closely with you to address any concerns you may have, responds quickly to questions, and is overall very positive. I would strongly recommend Tom if you want to really transform your garden into something exceptional.

Tom has been an absolute delight to work with. We were so impressed with his collaborative approach and his patience in guiding us through the garden design especially when we had a few strong ideas to accommodate. Tom was extremely thoughtful and gave us excellent direction and his attention to detail and knowledge was so helpful. Tom conceptualised and went through a series of iterative designs until we landed on "the one" . He was always appreciative of the back and forth between us and we valued his input, and willingness to listen and incorporate our thoughts. Throughout the planning Tom was on hand to answer questions and give guidance on plant selections especially regarding a number of important trees we were placing. He routinely kept us up to date on timings and the actual implementation and creation of the garden went very smoothly indeed. His team were excellent - great workers and a pleasure to have around the site. Tom was on site frequently and personally drove attention to details many others would let pass. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and have since then appreciated Tom's skills in ensuring the garden is constantly providing new delights during the year . We love just staring out at the garden -whatever the weather. What more can you ask for . Thanks Tom and we will look forward to the next project with you!

Tom did a complete re-design and renovation of our garden. We loved Tom's creative thinking for the garden and once we agreed on the design everything was done in a very efficient way. His team on site and very skilled and always worked in a clean and efficient way. Tom was on hand almost every day to deal with issues and help us make decisions. The end result was delivered on time and on budget - and we absolutely love it. Thanks Tom!d

They know what they doing, they are experts in this field and they proved to us once again. I am very happy with our garden-space. I highly recommend them.

It’s been a real pleasure working with Tom. He and his team helped us develop a set of designs for three outdoor spaces during the constraints of lockdown that we’re really happy with. He’s communicative, easy to collaborate with and is really good at generating ideas, from plants to structure to unique features. Compared to other landscapers we received quotes from, we also thought his fee structure was reasonable and added considerable value to our project. Overall, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tom’s services to anyone looking to upgrade their garden.

Tom and his team are absolutely first class and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. When contacting Tom I already had well developed idea about the space we were seeking to create. Tom interpreted the design cues we gave him brilliantly and incorporated these within the design for the garden we ultimately settled on. Tom's communication is first rate and he will be on hand whenever you need him and frequently on site himself to supervise the build. We are delighted with the end result and are confident that the investment made in the project will have material value add to the property itself.

We hired Tom is 2017 to help us create a new back garden. The plot was about 25.0x5.5m, a typical long Victorian terrace garden in Brockley, South East London. The existing plot had been flattened due to ongoing building works, providing a blank canvass. Tom more deserves a 5 star review - he listened attentively, worked with us to understand our preferences, and then created various options for us to work through. The whole process was very efficient and enjoyable. Costs were clearly discussed and ran to budget. Three years later, we still enjoy a beautifully designed garden that requires (as requested!) minimal maintenance. Planting thoughtfully considered the garden exposure/sunlight, providing interest all year round.

Tom was excellent from start to finish. He took our dark and overgrown garden and transformed it into a beautiful space which gives us tremendous pleasure. It is as if we have added a new room to our house. Tom took time to get to know us and was anxious to find a design that worked for us. His estimates were clear and transparent and the work was done to time and within the estimate. Tom was good humoured and calm throughout and helped smooth over some of the inevitable bumps that accompany a big project. I would recommend Tom without reservation.

We first contacted Tom at the end of a lengthy 2 year build project, remodeling the back of our house. Weary and bordering on decision paralysis, we still faced the rather daunting prospect of what to do with the garden which we had given little thought to. Searching for a garden designer, we came across Tom on Houzz and really liked the look of his designs. It turns out that contacting him was the best thing we did! Tom presented us with some great design options to maximize the space and functionality of the garden – as well as looking good, we needed it to be a space where our sons could kick a ball about and despite its compact size, my husband also wanted a putting green! Throughout the process, Tom and his team were fantastic and we are thrilled with the end result. Tom incorporated all our requirements, was flexible and resourceful and very transparent on costings. He is professional, personable and very easy to work with. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

You don't need to read much more than the reviews Tom and the team have had. Our experience was the same as others. There is a killer combination of deep care for meeting your needs, incredible knowledge of his trade and ideas galore in terms of achieving your vision. This combined with an execution focus like few traders I have met over the years; every detail is considered and when there is an issue it truly is no problem. One thing to listen to is Tom's knowledge of what it takes to do something - there are cheaper but I am not sure there are any better. We love our garden. We are a fan of Tom and the team.

We engaged Tom Howard for the design and build of our garden renovation. From the first consultation we felt confident that Tom understood our requirements. He was professional, listened to what we wanted, explained the design process clearly and kept us updated on timelines. When we received our initial designs, we were blown away by the proposed concepts, both creative and stunning! It only took a couple of iterations to perfect the design, with minor tweaks based on our feedback. During the build phase, Tom’s experienced team worked diligently and reliably to transform our garden into a zen retreat. We received frequent updates on build progress and were able to provide input and feedback. Tom ensured every detail was seen to and did not handover until the work met with his exceptionally high standard. The financial management of the project was also well organised. The quote was laid out in a clear and transparent manner. Any changes which had a cost implication were agreed prior to the work being carried out. Invoicing was clear and related back to the quote; we did not experience any financial “surprises” and subsequently the project came in at the anticipated cost. We are 100% satisfied customers and would highly recommend Tom’s services based on his creativity, passion, standard of work, professionalism and clear communication.

One of the best clients. Easy to work with, no problems for over 5 years and so on recommending him all the time with 100% confidence Very good garden designer.

We met Tom several years ago and discussed our garden as part of a large extension. Tom and his team have been faultless throughout. We are truly over the moon with the result and can’t wait for it to grow year after year. Such a tranquil place with so much wildlife now. There is no wonder he is in high demand. We can highly recommend Tom and wish him all the continued success! Elis and Becs

We are absolutely delighted with our new garden! Tom has been fantastic to deal with from start to finish. He's always been on hand when needed and always offered sensible advice. His team worked incredibly hard on the job and were very respectful of our house which was appreciated. We would thoroughly recommend Tom and his company, in fact we already have! Now time to enjoy our lovely new garden just in time for summer. Thanks again Tom, and to your team for all your efforts.

Tom and his team have done a wonderful job with the garden. From the initial planting plan to the actual planting, Tom has been very helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. Choosing Tom was one of the very best decisions we have made. Every time we look out at the garden we are amazed at how beautiful and lush it looks. We are delighted with the end result and cannot recommend him highly enough!

Tom and his team have done a great job with our garden - he designed a fantastic kids play area that really feels part of the garden. Although the plants only went in two days ago these already look great and we're really pleased that we now have a lovely garden to enjoy. Tom was very friendly, helpful and hands on throughout the whole process.

I worked with Tom for a period of around a year on a total re-landscaping of the front and back gardens of my house, the ground floor of which itself was being fully renovated and extended. I had done plenty of research beforehand and, based on many of his previous projects, knew that he was the person i wanted to work with from a 'look' perspective. The experience of working with Tom only served to reinforce that view. The whole process from beginning to end was, to be a honest, a joy. Tom was endlessly patient going through various iterations of the design, and is personally invested in delivering something that I was going to be happy with. His team are very hardworking, tidy, friendly and thorough. They are all sticklers for getting the details spot on. Tom dealt with difficult neighbours brilliantly, rarely having to get me involved. He worked seemlessly with the house renovation team both to ensure that the design worked in terms of blending the house in with the garden, but also in terms of scheduling work, etc. when there were multiple contractors on site. He also sticks very firmly to budgets, which is very important on larger projects. Tom ensures that he spends plenty of time on site himself, and is always available to chat through things in person when needed. Overall, i couldn't be happier with the result. Tom has a clear enthusiasm and love of his work which comes through in all aspects of the project, and he is a joy to work with. I thoroughly recommend.

Deciding to work with Tom has proven to be a great decision, every time I look out onto our garden it makes me smile. Tom and his team deserve a 5* rating not just because of the beautiful end result but how he managed the process throughout. During the design phase Tom was thoughtful and patient as we went through a number of iterations to meet our needs/budget. Communication was fantastic throughout the project and he was able to anticipate any questions i had. One of the reasons I favoured Tom over other designers I saw was that he employed his own team. The team showed great workmanship and clearly took a lot of professional pride in delivery a first class finish. Thank you!

I worked with Tom and his team redeveloping a garden and terrace in Chelsea in 2017/18. I have worked with other Garden designers and landscaping companies in the past but Tom has completely surpassed my expectations. He listened to what i was trying to create and came up with a truly stunning design that made the garden and terrace the focal points of the house. Unlike many Garden designers he has his own in house team so can control the build execution and not involve a third party which is rare. His design ability and professionalism is second to none and i would wholeheartedly use him and his team again. He also came in on budget. I would and have recommended him already to others looking for a Garden Designer & Landscaping company who will bring a quality build and wonderfully creative design.

Tom and his team have completely transformed my garden into a truly beautiful space. I wanted something that was an extension of my kitchen/house where I could entertain guests plus somewhere I could relax on a lovely sunny day. I originally sourced a few quotes off different people but Tom's vision stood out. I knew his design was the one for me as soon as I saw it....stunning! They achieved what I wanted....and more! The whole process was professionally managed from start to finish and came in on budge...which, as we all know is a rarity! The garden has only just been finished but I've had so many amazing complements on it already. Next door have even asked me what the trees are so they can get some themselves! I would highly recommend Tom and his team.

We contacted Tom having seen his Houzz profile and website, as part of a whole house renovation we did in Clapham. We had a relatively tricky back garden to landscape, with the challenges of a new basement and light well that protruded into the garden, and a high-walled rear boundary. We wanted something that would feel spacious, look good from the kitchen and serve a number of different practical functions. The end result achieved all these objectives, and we're really pleased with how it looks. Tom pushed us to choose a number of things, such as darker paint colours, which we wouldn't have considered. The dimensions, layout and planting all work harmoniously. He also turned around the plans quickly and worked well with our contractors. Fees were reasonable in the context of the project scope.

Tom transformed our garden, providing a first class service from design consultation and 3D plans right through to sourcing, building and planting. Tom is patient and really cares about the detail, ensuring the best quality finish and everything working harmoniously with nature and practical needs. We wanted a space that was equally desirable for our children to play football, low maintenance but beautiful, with a space for adults to relax. We are thrilled with the results, the kids love it and we get much pleasure watching the garden change each week as more colours and plants bloom. Before and after pics attached.

I have recently had the pleasure of working with Tom on my own project after a client recommended him. Tom was very patient in answering all my questions and tweaking the design quite a few times. I am particularly happy with the planting as it turned out so much better than anticipated! We now have a beautiful, elegant garden and still suitable for small children - it is used far more than we ever did in the past.

Can not recommend Tom highly enough. Tom managed our garden renovation from concept to delivery. From an initial consultation and survey Tom delivered clear professional design options. He then promptly put together an excellent team to deliver our dream garden to a very high standard on time and on budget. Would recommend without hesitation.

Tom completely transformed our garden from an under-utilised space to an extension of our living space. He proposed designs that integrated in our small space and made it more practical without compromising on style. Him and his team understood our need for storage, outdoor living and entertaining and translated that in a number of features that have added an extra ‘outdoor’ room to our house. Tom has been very present on site throughout the build and his team has been extremely respectful ensuring minimal distruption to our everyday life. Tom is very detailed oriented and he has always been open to discuss any concerns we had to find an acceptable solution. Despite a bit of delay, we are extremely pleased with the work and very much looking forward to the spring to make full use of our new garden!

Tom and his team have done a few jobs for us over the years, having come recommended by our neighbours. We have always found them to be reliable, highly skilled and very tidy. Tom’s design work is second to none and having moved to a new house, we were prepared to wait a few months until he was available to design and build our new back patio. We cannot recommend Tom and his team highly enough!

We can't recommend Tom highly enough. He gave our compact SW London terraced house garden a makeover and we are delighted with the end results. We had a disastrous experience with a different contractor as part of some overall building works only a year earlier where they renovated our garden as part of a larger project but it transpired after the first winter that they had used completely the wrong materials and the rendered garden border wall fell apart. We were therefore rather paranoid about picking a professional gardener / landscaper to do it properly second time round. After a lot of research and quite a few meetings with highly regarded gardeners we decided to go with Tom and are so pleased that we did. We have had the 'pleasure' of experiencing a wide range of quality trades people over the last couple of years and Tom is something of a rare gem. He is a thoroughly nice guy, very responsive and easy to deal with but is also extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of hard and soft garden landscaping that we asked (this wasn't true of other highly rated gardeners). His garden designs are beautiful, creative and well constructed as you can see from the portfolio on his website. Tom has a talented, loyal and hard-working team that he uses to carry out various aspects of the work and he visits most days to carefully project manage the job. The entire team were very clean, tidy, professional and personable and managed to remove all the garden rubbish without making any real mess inside the house at all - quite a feat. In our opinion Tom is fairly valued for the quality of his workmanship. His 5 year guarantee on work done also offers greater protection than most others. In summary, Tom and his team are right at the top of their game and we're sure that if you are lucky enough to be able to secure Tom's services you will be as delighted as we are.

We've been extremely pleased with the work done for us by Tom. Great result, very good finish, very professional and conscientious team. The whole process, from briefing to handover, was seamless and extremely pleasant. Would definitely recommend Tom.

The project a rear garden with various levels. Tom completed a thorough site survey, through consultation, designed a great structural plan with wide steps, opening the garden out to a top level sun terrace. With further consultation Tom designed a planting plan which will give an all year round green border to the top & bottom of my garden. A flowering middle planter creating interest and delicate screening provided by agapanthus on mass in the top planter. It looks truly stunning! We are absolutely delighted with the outcome. A total transformation of the space. Tom is a first class communicator, as well as top garden designer. Thank you Tom you have been fantastic to work with.

Tom and his team were amazing to work with. I gave Tom as much freedom as possible for the design of my patio and he delivered incredibly good results. I didn't have to worry about details of choosing the right materials etc as once I approved of the design he took care of everything which was exactly what I needed. He also delivered on the time frame he committed to and for the exact price he quoted, which in my experience is not always the case unfortunately. Both him and his team were very helpful, not only doing their job but helping me out with extra stuff and going the extra mile definitely. I would recommend this company to anyone and I would be 100% confident they would be as happy with the results as I am. Thank you Tom for making a little heaven of my patio. I couldn't be happier! Ale Murray

We are so lucky to have met Tom. He has created for us this incredible, beautiful, calm space out of the total mess that was our tiny garden. Tom worked with us to plan exactly what we needed, but much more beautifully that we could have imagined! Executed perfectly by his brilliant team and meticulously overseen by Tom. We LOVE it! It happened so fast and so seamlessly, that I still can't quite believe that it is our garden. Amazing - we could not be more delighted or grateful.

Tom has specified our products, especially our Porcelain Paving, on various projects that he is working on and we have found that these projects always turned out to look stunning and meet his clients’ expectations. Tom has the talent to transform your garden completely and to put into shape virtually anything you might imagine. Even the smallest and most "problematic" spaces can get a complete makeover and become bright, look more spacious and turn into your personal oasis of relaxation with Tom Howard Garden Design's expert advice. London Stone highly recommends their professional services.

As of 2017, we have been dealing with Tom Howard for more than 5 years and have always found him to be professional, communicative and straightforward to deal with. We have supplied bespoke planters and BBQs to a number of his schemes over the years. Having seen Tom’s finished schemes and the professionalism he applies when dealing with orders, we are very happy to recommend Tom to our customers who are looking for a competent, knowledgeable and professional landscape design and build company. We look forward to working on many other projects within Tom and his team in the near future.

Tom totally transformed our front garden this summer. He and his team worked quickly and efficiently with very little guidance from me. Not only is Tom incredibly artistic but he's also very pragmatic. This was really important to me. I absolutely love what he has done and would not hesitate to use him again/recommend him. He's a real gem of a find and a lovely chap too.

Tom did an amazing job totally transforming our London garden from an uninspiring and unloved plot to a gorgeous and brilliantly usable space that we now enjoy every day. He's somehow managed to make the garden look bigger whilst also incorporating a new seating area, he designed beautiful planting which has brought birds and butterflies to our garden, and crucially has retained plenty of room for the kids to kick a football around. Tom immediately understood our brief, came up with loads of great creative suggestions, and he and his skilled team were utterly professional, reliable, thorough and friendly in their work. Tom has incredible attention to detail and very high standards. We are absolutely delighted with our new garden and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

From the start, Tom had a very good understanding of the design we had in mind for the garden, incorporating our ideas as well as his own in transforming the existing plot with energy and enthusiasm. He has an excellent creative eye and his hard landscaping is a particular strength. His team were a pleasure to have around the house and we are thrilled with the result.

Tom and his team completely redid our inner London garden. From the moment we met Tom he understood what vision we had for the garden, came up with a great design and was very efficient and friendly to deal with throughout the process, as were all his team. We are delighted with the garden and all the ideas Tom had along the way. We would whole heartily recommend working with him.

If you are looking for someone to transform your garden, then look no further than Tom. As someone that was recommended to us, I have no hesitations on recommending him to someone else. From start to finish his work was professional, he kept us informed of progress and any changes on a regular basis, and he and his team were a pleasure to deal with. We are absolutely thrilled with our front garden and will certainly be calling him again to do the back.

Tom Howard designed, built and delivered our perfect garden in Putney. Tom's services are distinguished through meticulous attention to detail, excellent product conception and production as well as great after sale management and maintenance. A pleasure to have around, Tom and his team are diligent, professional and throughly deserve every success,

Tom completely transformed front and rear garden. Very knowledgeable in design phase and transparent on costs. Once work started, Tom and team were extremely reliable with great, fastidious, attention to detail. Nothing, however small, was too much trouble. Would highly recommend

Tom completely transformed our Shepherd's Bush garden from an uninviting, neglected space into a piece of art. He took on board the way we wanted to use the garden and our own ideas and put together a great set of plans that meant we had full confidence he understood our vision. His talent as an artist and architectural flair were stamped all over the end result. We had very little idea about the plants to use and he made great recommendations that stood the test of time. The build/landscaping was well managed, delivered on time and came in at the low end of the original quote. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Tom was recommended to us and we couldn't be happier with our new garden. Tom and his team work efficiently, are highly skilled and lovely to deal with. The wood work is finished to a incredibly high standard and Tom found us a couple of beautiful old olive trees that really make the garden a very special place. No hesitation in recommending Tom.

Tom was recommended to us by a neighbour to whom we are eternally grateful. Tom has helped turn our modest (18ftx18ft) first floor terrace into a haven. He is a pleasure to work with and unbelievably reliable. I can't be sure but I doubt that a better person exists.

Brilliant garden designer, very professional and conscientious - and a lovely chap to boot! The garden which he designed and built for us is still looking good 5 years later, can't recommend him highly enough.

I can't recommend Tom Howard and his team highly enough. Tom's attention to detail was remarkable, from the initial drawings to the finished job. He was innovative, bright and has really understood what we were trying to achieve. A very happy client.

Tom landscaped our town garden beautifully. He made the most of the lovely existing features (trees, an old wall), whilst transforming the whole feel. Despite being on more than one level, he has also made it decidedly less precarious for our children. Tom and his team are delightful to have around as well as being incredibly good at what they do. I really recommend them (and we have since had them back to sort out the front of our house)

Tom and his team were amazing. Friends recommended Tom Howard when we were thinking of redoing our garden and when we met him we knew he would be the right person for the job. He provided some really creative insight and delivered the project within time and budget - something pretty rare to find. Our garden is now our everyday outdoor room, we use it more than ever before and everyone comments how beautiful the garden is. All in all we would recommend very highly Tom as he has been outstanding for design, customer service and quality!

We were recommended Tom by a friend who had worked with him previously and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to further people. He has in fact already worked with a member of my staff! Tom knows his market well and is experienced and confident in leading his clients through the design / landscaping process. We started off our front garden being totally re-designed but because we were so pleased with Tom's work we went on to have our rear garden landscaped which we could not be more pleased with. Tom has a great eye and I really do highly recommend him!
