Kristina Clode Garden Design

Kristina has done amazing things to our garden! She has taken what was a difficult area to the front and side of our house and made it an absolute oasis. She interpreted my completely inarticulate ideas into a stunning design. She nailed the brief of providing privacy and a feeling of space, creating defined areas but retaining a very natural feel. Her attention to detail is extraordinary. Can't recommend her highly enough. Service: Custom landscape design

We commissioned Kristina to design our garden as part of a large renovation project. We have a long thin garden in an exposed position very close to the coast. Kristina was a pleasure to work with, she listened to our long list of requests, and hit the nail firmly on the head with the first design. Her work on creating the schedule of works, sourcing things for our garden, and liaising with the landscapers was excellent. We had total confidence that she had our best intentions at heart throughout. The level of work researching and sourcing plants that can survive in our environment was astounding, and having been in charge of planting alongside a team of very lovely assistants the finished garden looks exactly like the 3D mock up that was created that we fell in love with. I can't wait to see how things look when the plants are established. I couldn't recommend Kristina enough, she is dedicated, knowledgeable and really cares about the outcome of her projects.

I highly recommend Kristina. Our garden was a blank canvas when she started with a few challenging aspects such as a nearby footpath and an electricity pole to hide. She has created a really beautiful garden for us, always taking into account our wishes every step of the way. Her attention to detail is amazing and her knowledge of design and plants very in depth. I was also very impressed at how hard she worked, both on the design and on planting up the garden! She is also a pleasure to work with. Heather Hughes

Kristina combines an expert knowledge of her subject with a truly wonderful flair for design. She is highly professional and very organized and thorough. In the initial consultation period Kristina took time to understand our taste in gardens and to interpret our hazy likes/dislikes regarding plants. She took on board our plea for a low-maintenance garden that should include plenty of space for our kids to play football. Not only was Kristina's subsequent planting plan beautifully presented but it incorporated solutions to practical problems (such as plants that can withstand being constantly whacked by a football!). Kristina recommended a gravel garden for our front garden and we are absolutely delighted with how this has developed over the years. Kristina planted hundreds of bulbs and these start popping up from January and continue to bloom throughout spring and early summer. The other plants have also flourished and throughout summer and autumn the garden changes and develops and is continues to look beautiful. Even in the depths of winter the remaining grasses and dried fennel (and other plants) look very fine and sculptural. Our garden continues to give us so much pleasure and it is easy to maintain. We are so glad that we employed a professional garden designer - it was worth every penny! Our friends and neighbours, and people just passing by, have told us that they love to watch the garden develop throughout the year. Kris's enthusiasm for garden design and maintenance is infectious. She is great at sharing her considerable knowledge and has inspired us to become gardeners ourselves.
