We had the pleasure of working with Simon Orchard on a recent garden project at our EF Bournemouth, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Simon is a designer who truly values precision and attention to detail. From the very beginning, he was fully engaged in the project, offering insightful recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of the design was meticulously planned and executed. His collaboration with Labyrinth Landscapes, who he recommended, was seamless, showcasing a deep understanding of each other's processes. The results were spectacular, transforming our outdoor space into a vibrant, welcoming environment that our students and staff love. Simon’s dedication and expertise are truly commendable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier garden designer.

I am absolutely delighted with my garden, and cannot recommend Simon of Orchard Garden Design strongly enough. Every step of the process was enjoyable. In the early stages, Simon took great care to understand my likes, dislikes, colour and style preferences. His design is innovative, fun, and better than I could have hoped for. Simon really went the extra mile. For example, I asked that we not have any plants that are toxic to cats. Not only did he exclude the toxic list, but he also took care not to include any plants that could potentially be dangerous to cats (it's a very long list!). He also went to select the rocks in person to ensure that they are the right shade and size for the garden. I was also surprised to learn that almost every plant in the garden flowers, and Simon selected them so that I have something new popping up almost every week of the summer! Simon always gave me options, and explained the implications. I always felt very much part of the process. My garden is now growing, and Simon has kept in touch, giving advice as the plants mature. He built something that will bring me joy for many years.

I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Simon Orchard on numerous projects, and each time, I’m reminded why he’s one of the best in the business. Simon’s approach to garden design is both innovative and meticulous—he leaves no stone unturned in creating spaces that are not only visually stunning but also incredibly functional. His attention to detail is on point and because he has a well practiced process it make our work at Labyrinth Landscapes, for the next stage just extremely easy to deliver on. Simon’s designs are always well thought out, making the construction process smooth and efficient. His clear vision and thorough planning mean that we can focus on executing the project to the highest standard without having to second-guess any aspect of the design. This level of precision not only enhances our workflow but also results in a final product that consistently exceeds client expectations. Moreover, Simon's collaborative spirit is truly one of a kind. He understands the intricacies of landscaping, and his ability to communicate effectively with our team ensures that we’re always on the same page. This seamless collaboration is what allows us to consistently deliver outstanding results, and it’s why I’m always eager to work with Simon on any project. If you’re looking for a garden designer who will elevate your project and make the entire process smoother, I would totally recommend Simon. His expertise not only enhances our work but also makes us better at what we do. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

We have built two of Simon's gardens this year. His plans are unique and very clear - both of which are key in achieving a brilliant result. The homeowners love how he gets so much value out of their property.

Having seen Simon's work online, we first asked him to design a back garden for us several years ago, knowing that it would be a while before we could start the works. We then came back to him to prepare detailed construction drawings and a planting plan and to help find a suitable contractor. Simon was brilliant throughout the whole project, always really efficient and we absolutely love the garden now it is complete. We would have no hesitation in recommending him and look forward to having him design a front garden for us in the near future!
