I recently had the great pleasure of appointing Philip to design and create a garden for me (he was working with an almost blank canvas). His attention to detail throughout the entire project was incredible. He sourced, co-ordinated, planted and installed with immaculate care and professionalism. No task was ever too much trouble for him.Philip is an extremely talented garden designer and horticulturalist and, moreover, he is a genuinely honest, reliable and very nice chap! I would not hesitate to recommend him.

We needed part of our garden which had previously been used as a chicken run to be redesigned and replanted. Philip made sure he understood all our requirements and the soil/garden structure he had to work with and put forward a comprehensive plan and clearly defined pricing plan.We asked Philip to complete all the work himself which we are delighted with.Philip is very professional, he is easy to deal with, he kept us informed throughout, the amount of work he completed each day when on site was truly amazing. He also cleaned the site every day so we were not left with any mess and was more than happy to answer any questions we had on other areas of our garden.We would fully recommend Philip to others.

Contacted Philip to see what could be done with a shady east facing plot.I was very impressed with his graphic design and his choice of lovely plants.Philip sourced all the plants at my request and planted them. ( love to hear him talking to plants as he is planting ) absolutely thrilled with results. He also supplied maintenance plan. An absolute pleasure to work with and left everything here clean and tidy . Carol Sutton

What an impressive, professional and helpful service I received from Philip when I asked him to redesign a border in my garden. In the end he did the whole thing, sourcing the plants, putting them in the ground and leaving everywhere clean & tidy. He has also provided a maintenance plan so the border will hopefully flourish under my fairly amateur care! I cannot fault any stage of the process. Philip was a joy to deal with.

Philip was a pleasure to deal with. He completely renewed our frontage maintaining a cottage garden look with vastly improved maintainability . His use of modern graphic systems made visualisation extremely easy and his very hard work ensured that the project was completed on time. All in all a very professional job.Gill & Chris Nelson

I am half way through a garden design project and I cannot thank Philip enough for his vision, enthusiasm and expertise . I wanted to get involved as much as I could so opted for a day of working alongside him to plant 34 Yew hedge plants ! I appreciated his guidance when it came to preparation as the hedging was quite an investment. I feel that those plants got individual attention and the best start in their new home as they could get . I picked up so many hints and tips along the way and we had a fun time . I particularly enjoyed his spontaneous singing and the way he interacts with plants – as of course they are living things ! I look forward to part 2 of the garden design .

I commissioned Philip for the re design of the small front garden of my cottage. Philip was a joy to work with from the initial design work to the supply of beautiful plants !He listened intently to the type of look and feel I wanted to achieve and produced a very high quality 3D design in no time at all! Plants were delivered within the timescale I’d hoped for, ready for me to plant and make the most of the Spring growth. Even though I wanted to plant the garden myself, he helped me position the plants according to the design and gave me some additional hints and tips along the way !His knowledge and expertise is exceptional and I’ve learnt so much from him, whilst having great fun too ! I’ve learnt how to prune a Wisteria!!I will definitely be asking him for help with my back garden in the near future . I highly recommend …… thank you Philip !

The thing I liked was Philip’s up-front approach. He also listened to what I wanted. I was a bit hesitant to get a professional involved in my ‘past-its-sell-by-date garden’, but Philip couldn’t have been more helpful. He worked out a renovation plan that dealt with all the problem areas and did it efficiently with very impressive computer images so I could easily see what I was getting. Very glad I went to Philip.

Philip is friendly, enthusiastic and really helpful – and its genuine. He took my ‘cluelessness’ and turned it into a great garden design that met all I wanted by way of affordability, minimum maintenance and plant variety. He even supplied the plants, and cheaper than garden centres. If you want good old fashioned service, I recommend Philip and Brighten My Garden.
