We engaged Mark 5 years ago when we decided we needed a pro to solve the challenges with our garden. We saw his portfolio and loved the modern contemporary style he designs, and his design for us was absolutely superb. Having an experienced professional look at your garden and bring their creativity and experience to the design is money VERY well spent - his ideas were things we never even considered despite spending the previous 10 years thinking about how best to use the space and being fairly experienced gardeners ourselves. The resulting garden was everything we wanted and has literally transformed

Compared to other quotes we received Mark had the most vision and offered us a different solution for our garden. His planting scheme was excellent and very much to our taste. We are thoroughly enjoying our new garden. Highly recommended.

We cannot recommend Mark highly enough. From the initial design, through to the planting stage Mark was courteous, professional and enthusiastic throughout. His love and knowledge of plants has transformed our garden into a little piece of paradise.
