Having installed a new summerhouse in our garden a couple of years ago, we were not sure how best to landscape the surrounding area to create an interesting environment which would blend in well with the remainder of our mostly lawned garden. We had an idea about creating a wildflower garden and Jamie's name came up in our research to find somerone who could offer expert advice in creating a wildflower garden.

The project started with an initial on site consultation where we discussed our plans and bounced our ideas off each other. Jamie then went away to prepare some initial sketch ideas which were further discussed and progressed to a scope of works, with budget costs. Through development of the brief, Jamie designed a gravel path and timber steps with gravel inlay, a new tree (carefully considered) and a corten water feature which is weathering very nicely.

The works progressed very smoothly with Jamie project managing the entire process and bringing in a small team of contractors to assist. The work was undertaken towards the end of 2020 (completed within budget) and we are now starting to see the first signs of the bulbs which were planted in the meadow grass turf. We are very excited to see how this will continue to evolve and mature as new plants come and go throughout the seasons.

We would not hesitate to recommend Jamie and his team!
