The Distinctive Gardener

We presented the Distinctive Gardener with quite a challenge designing a modern family escape with multiple functions that would still be in keeping with our traditional London home. They exceeded our expectations: We love the thoughtful layout and the attention to detail but the standout has to be the layers and layers of gorgeous planting that vary with the seasons. They were so lovely to work with and are responsible for our elegant and colourful front garden as well.

A huge thank you to Nick and Douglas. Our garden has become an extra room of the house, to be enjoyed all year round. They made the whole design process straight forward and enjoyable. We discussed how we planned to use the garden such as different zones for seating, dining, and planting areas. After the initial discussions, the first designs were produced, these were very impressive, combining our ideas and preferred styles with aspects we hadnt considered. An easy to maintain garden was a key attribute and was achieved by a combination of a fully automated watering system and selection of suitable plants. The landscaping firm Nick and Douglas recommended were great, very friendly and efficient in getting the work completed in a timely manner. They were able to take care of everything from fencing, paving, irrigation and routes for lighting and ethernet cables In terms of finishing touches the log burner recommended has proven to be a hit and has meant we have been able to enjoy the garden late into Summer evenings or even in the winter. The fire area has been great for entertaining friends and family or having the kids cosy up and read during a cold winter night. We would recommend Nick and Douglas to anyone thinking of having their garden reinvented.

If there could only be one word to describe our garden, it would have to be WOW!. It used to be a space where we hardly spent any time as it felt somewhat unwelcoming. We tried a few tricks to make it look better, but to no avail. Although we felt lucky to have a garden, it also felt as if it wasnt a part of our house. Once we found The Distinctive Gardener website we knew instantly that Nick and Doug would be the right guys for the job. We didnt really know what we wanted in the garden, except that we wanted it to look amazing! We have two little girls, we love entertaining our friends, but what we are not is gardeners and therefore we needed something that is easy to maintain. Nick and Doug reassured us that they were going to deliver just that. A few weeks later Nick and Doug presented to us our first design. They took onboard all our concerns and came up with ideas that we could never have done on our own. Fast forward a few months and suddenly we have the most wonderful garden, cleverly split into play, dining and relaxing areas. Its fair to say that within the first month we spent more time in our garden than in the previous 5 years. It looks beautiful during the day, while lighting and heaters make it inviting after dark, even on cooler days. Nick and Doug have created for us a space that we absolutely love and has completed our family home.
