‘On Roger's first visit to our rather unloved townhouse garden, he exuded so much enthusiasm and so many ideas that we were convinced he had the skills to transform it into a haven for us. His beautifully drawn plan showed a practical yet creative structure with wildlife friendly planting following our chosen colour scheme of whites, blues, and pinks. We asked for one or two highlights of warmer yellows and oranges, which he cleverly incorporated. After discussion to fine tune our needs regarding size of patios, how much lawn area, height of wooden frameworks etc., the work began. Deliveries for the hard landscaping materials and the removal of garden matter by skip was all coordinated and overseen by Roger in a very professional way and our garden soon began to take shape. He worked extremely hard and meticulously to move the project along, and after a few weeks we were ready to see the planting take shape. Roger carefully sourced perennials, annuals, shrubs and trees and got to work on creating the different areas we'd agreed on - spring flowers near the house, roses and climbers on the fences and framework, and lots of drifts of colour in the borders. The whole effect was stunning and has continued to flower and look good for many months since completion in June. We have been really happy so see so many bees and butterflies attracted to the plants too. Overall, a very successful outcome - thank you Roger.’ Gill and Bob Bridgeman - Wantage

'Roger has recently completed a garden reconstruction for us and we are extremely pleased with the results. His clever design and imagination has made our garden seem so much bigger. He has given us a beautiful and serene space which will be a pleasure to sit in during the warmer months. He has planted with skill, ensuring that we will have colour in the garden throughout the year. His clever use of beautiful stone and paving compliment his imaginative planting. Well done Roger, we would recommend your work without question.' David & Joan Griffiths
LOWER MILL - CLEVELY
1. (See Left) We started with a pond near the house next to the patio with a rock outcrop linking the garden to the pool
2. (See Under) Below the Pond there is a terrace set in the water - an ideal place for entertaining a gathering of people
3. (See Left) Further downstream we made a small jetty with steps where you can sit and relax and play “pooh sticks”
4. ( See Under) Between the two areas we reconstructed a waterfall with carefully chosen stones from Worsham Quarry
The finished garden makes full use of the stream and enhanced the beauty of the running water.
GARDEN AT PLATER DRIVE, NORTH OXFORD
The owners were anxious to form a screen between their garden and the local primary school. These two BEFORE and AFTER photographs show how we have managed to create an intimate area with summer colour in raised beds.
