Our family recently moved into the New Forest area. While the house needed some renovation, more than half the garden to the rear, which was itself sizeable, was completely unusable. Over an extended period of years, it had become overgrown by large trees, bushes and weeds and we needed help to resurrect the “old place” back to its former glory. Having approached Helen for advice and following several good, consultative discussions with her, my wife and I agreed a design plan to renovate the garden areas – both back and front. In the knowledge we had plans to put a pool into our property in the early part of 2024, we initially focussed on the back garden. Following a tendering process, which Helen coordinated and managed, and which brought suppliers to us who Helen had worked with in the past, groundwork got underway in the Spring of ‘24. The process was seamless, communication was good and as we proceeded, and new ideas came to the fore, amendments to the original design plan were made in consultation with Helen resulting in the completion of our back garden in November ’24 with spring planting to follow in early ‘25. This has been a sizeable project for everyone but we as a family are delighted with the garden we now have, the workmanship that has been displayed throughout and the professional approach which has been taken by Helen and her suppliers. We very much look forward to later this year when work will commence on the front of our house and I’m sure when finished we will have invested wisely not only in the house but the garden which we very much look forward to enjoying with our family in the summer months to come.

We have been working with Helen for many years and can highly recommend her. Her attention to detail is fantastic and her designs are both beautiful and practical. As important for us is that Helen stays in touch with the garden, makes tweaks and changes as the garden develops, and has a real passion for her work. And she’s a pleasure to work with!
