Testimonials

Catriona has been great to work with on our design. She invested so much time in understanding what we wanted to do with the space and delivered a a great concept. She was always responsive to any questions that we have had, giving great advice on planting ideas and suggested great people for the landscaping.

Catriona was amazing from the very first conversation right through to delivering the garden design that fitted the brief we had agreed with her. She both listened to our ideas, and inspired us with some of hers… and together we have a design that we can’t wait to see become a reality! We would absolutely recommend reaching out to her to see how you can turn your garden of any size and shape into something inspiring, and a space you just want to spend all day enjoying! Thanks Catriona 👍

Absolutely love working with Catriona. She’s brought fantastic ideas to our project and has a very thoughtful approach to design to ensure it is functional too. Our garden is a complete turnaround situation and has taken a while to think through the right design, but Catriona has been incredibly patient throughout the process. Catriona challenges ideas in a really constructive way and is clearly both passionate and highly knowledgeable. Our designs are fantastic and creative, and we are looking forward to bringing them to life now with Catriona’s help. Feel very fortunate to have her on our team!

I have struggled to write this review as I wanted to find words as beautiful as my finished garden, but I can’t. I highly recommend Catriona for your garden design. The initial drawings that she sent after our first discussion were perfect and needed no revisions. Throughout the process Catriona has offered advice and continued input, for example, the need to wrap my banana, Musa bassoon to protect it over winter. I love the planting scheme which is so much softer than I would have achieved without her knowledge and flair. It was great to work with Catriona at planting time although we both got sunburnt. I have also appreciated information on additional items such as sculptures and garden pots. I just love it. Thank you Catriona.

A big thank you to Catriona for her wonderful redesign of my garden. I had lost inspiration and enthusiasm and needed fresh new ideas. Following a thorough assessment of the my likes/dislikes and of how myself and my family use the garden space Catriona created a wonderful new design introducing curves to the flower beds, a new path and incorporating a fabulous new seated area with gazebo for year round use. I am really delighted with her flowing informal planting scheme and am so looking forward to watching it mature over the next few years. Throughout the project Catriona was approachable and available for advice and support and last week we spent a very enjoyable week planting up the beds together allowing me to gain valuable information about managing my garden going forward.

Catriona has been brilliant and couldn’t recommend her more! She has created a fantastic design for us which will create a space that the whole family will enjoy and caters for everything we could have asked for! We just had our first landscaper out and he said that the designs were so well done and the best he has seen and he said he has seen a lot of designs!

Highly recommend. Cat listened to my ideas, created lovely plans and delivered. Created me a really easy to maintain bed and pot area (which is what I wanted) the colour scheme is vibrant and I can't wait to see the plants established. No hassle planting ! All ordered, collected and planted, that's the kind of gardening I love!

Catriona immediately gauged what we wanted out of our garden and through clever questioning, attentive and regular consultation and her innate ability to conceptualise other people's thoughts she produced a design that we are delighted with! She has very in-depth knowledge of garden design, architecture, landscaping and planting and we are thrilled that we chose her to trust with our project. Catriona was very empathetic to our wish to make the garden as nature-friendly as possible, and offered many brilliant and innovative suggestions whilst also being helpfully pragmatic and insightful about costings and long-term maintenance. Our garden is yet to be completed but Catriona's hugely detailed and comprehensive plans should doubtless make the build light work! I'd highly recommend her services!

Catriona was helpful and friendly. She had great ideas for my garden and patiently worked with me to create a design that met my needs. She also helped me to source and plant up parts of the design. I now have plans drawn up by Catriona which we can do ourselves over time so I’m looking forward to seeing my garden develop from now on.

Catriona was friendly, patient and responsive and really helped us to bring what we wanted to life, with some well-suggested enhancements.

Catriona was super helpful. She provided loads of recommendations for my garden including some insightful sketches around the design. She was professional and timely throughout and lovely to work with.

We asked Catriona to help us design our medium size rectangle garden which has been ruined after building work. Except for one tree, there was nothing we were precious about keeping. We asked for help to design a family friendly garden that wasn't boring, but also wasn't 'grand designs' style either as this would be out of our budget. Catriona did an amazing job, was extremely patient with us and gave us some great options and alternatives to help us prioritise our budget, what we could outsource and what we could do ourselves. Communication was brilliant and we were delighted with the outcome - not easy especially as this was all done via Zoom. Would thoroughly recommend Catriona.
