Saul Abbott Garden Design (formerly Rose-tinted grasses) - Garden Design & Private Horticultural Teaching covering Kent, London & the S.E of England

Saul did an amazing job with a very modest budget of 10k. I found Saul via Google maps, along with a few other local designers and he was the only person to respond, to come and look at my garden and to consider the challenge. I will be eternally greatful he did as I now have a beautiful garden. He spent a couple of hours getting to know me and talking through what I wanted to achieve. We spent a further couple of hours talking through a design and the various options. Saul made my garden, as well as designed it. He is diligent and incredibly hardworking, and clearly cares so much about creating a beautiful space ( I will add photos in the Spring). Friends and family have commented how 'me' my garden is. That shows you how clever Saul is at figuring out what you are about! His plant knowledge is phenomenal. He left me with detailed information about my plants, how to look after them and with a seemingly open ended offer to provide advice in the future. Don't believe it when he says he doesn't like to be disturbed with a cup of tea!

Saul was a pleasure to work with. He spent a lot of time understanding how we wanted to use the garden and designing around that to ensure that we were spending money in the right places and we were left with a garden that didn't just look good but was ready to be used in the way that we had hoped. Saul designed a garden which we love, which was delivered on time and with a carefully managed budget and which has some really cool design features. He also pulled together a great team of outside trades who did the hard landscaping and garden room build. Would thoroughly recommend. Service: Garden design

We were fortunate to be able to invite Saul round to our garden for one of his Tutorial Sessions. What fantastic value for money. Saul is personable, interesting with a seemingly encyclopaedic knowledge of plants and horticulture. We had a brilliant time it felt like an informative chat with a good friend, my wife has a reasonable knowledge of plants whereas I am a real amateur, my Mum joined in as well and Saul was able to converse with all of us on an equal level. We learned so much on the day and at no point did it feel rushed or hurried, Saul always had time to talk and explain. He then backed up all our conversations with a very comprehensive Plant Maintenance Document, this will be a useful reference for us for many years hence. I feel that I could write much more, I cannot recommend Saul highly enough, whether you want the Tutorial or Garden design, this is a person who knows what hes talking about and uses it for others benefit.
