Design Service
Report
As part of the garden design service in North London, all the details for your new garden are defined clearly in high quality drawings for the landscaper to bring the design to reality. This involves measuring the entire site and locating all existing features, trees and plants which are to be retained or removed.
Testimonials
Report
We had a bad experience with a previous garden contractor, so chose carefully when it came time to having our garden redesigned. The level of detail in Sioban's work, from the extensive garden survey, the technical drawings, setting out plan, paving layout, mood boards and planting plans was exceptional.
Garden Ideas
Report
This restful wildlife water garden in Finchley has four watery elements. The square upper pool discharges over a stainless-steel chute and the cascade falls gently into the rill. This flows to a shallow diamond-shaped pool. In the corner of the garden is a pond set in an area dedicated to wildlife.
Woodland Garden
Report
Mature ash, sycamore, oak and holly make a natural setting for this woodland garden. The dappled shade suits many shrubs, bulbs and herbaceous plants. Whether in the heat of summer or darkest winter, the woodland garden provides a lovely family retreat in Whetstone, North London. We used wildflower meadow turf to make the woodland glade.

Sioban took on board our lifestyle, budget and maintenance requirements and came up with a bespoke garden design tailored to our needs. Incredibly professional, from her clear, prompt communication to her level of detail in all aspects of the work. Sioban had qualified, experienced professionals

We had a townhouse with a very unloved back garden that hadn't been touched in years. We gave Siobhan a brief that we wanted something that could be used most of the year round, would be very low maintenance and would look modern and be child friendly. She hit the brief very well and did a design for us the maximised the available space. She also handled the tender comparison and did a few site visits during construction to ensure things were going to plan during the four month build.
Would highly recommend her services.

We have worked with Siobhan on the redesign of our back garden for the past 18 months.
We are thrilled with the end result as it is functional for our family with three young children!
Siobhan was patient with our quite clear requirements, however she pushed us to the right direction to make design and practical choices that made sense and look great!
We we would not hesitate to recommend Siobhan for any garden design as she is very experienced, knowledgeable and confident to assert her design with the contractors. We would also highly suggest that you employ her to liaise with the builders

Sioban designed my back garden and also produced tender documents for a landscaper to implement the plan. She combines creativity and a huge amount of horticultural knowledge with professionalism, an eye for detail and lots of common sense. Six months on from the initial planting I am delighted with the end result - my garden has been transformed into exactly the space that I wanted it to be, with new surprises popping up every week.

We are enjoying the first season since Sioban designed and planted our back garden and it is fantastic! She has shaped and planted beds with a splendid array of shrubs and flowers to give lovely colours. Her design was very detailed and well specified and was built out successfully by Karat Landscapes. We liked that she listened carefullly and designedly thoughtfully, so the garden is working for all family members.
