A couple of years ago, we turned to Chris to help us transform our tired and somewhat neglected garden into a space which would feel welcoming to us, and something we would not be embarrassed to invite others to also enjoy. The outcome was as good as we could have hoped for, if not better, and a couple of years on, Chris has been on hand whenever needed to help us maintain this outdoor living space as we want it to be. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris if this is something that you are thinking you also need.

We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Chris. We had a medium sized, neglected town house garden in need of attention. Chris was brilliant and worked with us to bring our vision to life. He created a modern relaxing space that the whole family can enjoy.

We asked Chris to design a new garden layout to convert our large back lawn and side beds into a series of island beds and curving side beds filled with shrubs, flowering perennials, grasses and some specimen trees which frame the views to the fields beyond. The end result planted in late April is really exciting and Chris has followed the progress from the bed creation through to the planting and has always been available to advise on watering and any other questions on the various plants. He is very knowledgeable and has provided very helpful layout plans and lists of the various plants. We are happy to recommend Chris to anyone thinking of getting help on garden design.

Chris Wild Garden Design was a real find! Chris redesigned our entire back garden for us last year and we were really pleased with all he did. He was a pleasure to deal with - very responsive to ideas whilst giving plenty of knowledgable, professional feedback. His designs throughout reflected his experience and were very well presented. We now have a garden to be proud of that we can use in just the way we wanted. His final presentation went above and beyond sourcing details like pots and furniture to compliment the scheme.

Marlene designed an outside kitchen in our garden and we are delighted with the end result. Working with Marlene was very easy, she listened and understood our brief straight away. She picked out materials and delivered initial drawings very quickly - which were shortly followed by technical drawings once the design had been agreed. She was on hand to deal with the builder's questions as and when they came up. Overall, we were very happy with the quality of service provided.

Marlene has been amazing to work with. She put form to our vision and was extremely responsive to any feedback we had. She was also instrumental in seeing through the whole process, from design to tendering, which was especially important to us as we are away from our property most of the year during the time of the project. Her attention to detail is also without parallel (for example, matching brick for new patio construction with the house, or including visuals of what all the plants she suggested will look like in various seasons). We cannot recommend Marlene enough!

Rating: 5 / 5

Highly recommend Marlene who turned our brief into reality with added wow factors. Sourcing an outstanding landscaper & quality materials she was a very effective project manager throughout. Marlene was a delight to work with in transforming our small bland rectangle of mainly grass into a lovely oasis of quality features, planting and lighting.

We are so pleased with the garden Marlene has designed for us. Our new home is one third of a Victorian coach house which we have extended and completely renovated. Our open plan living area has full width sliding glass doors opening on to a small walled garden. We were looking for a garden design with a wow factor that would be full of interest and integrate the room with the garden, and make maximum use of the small space available. Marlene has certainly given us that. We now have a highly original and pleasing design which we could never have imagined. It accomplishes all we were hoping for and more. Marlene has been there every step of the way, and we now look out on an exciting garden which visually forms a continuum with the living area. We would thoroughly recommend Marlene.

We have used Drew Neat for over 3 years. We have been very happy with the regular care given by the team led by Andrew and Nicki . We have found all the staff extremely polite,friendly, hard working and knowledgeable. I particularly find it helpful walking round the garden with Nicki , as an excellent plantswoman, discussing work needed and potential future ideas. I would definitely recommend them.

I have used Drew Neat Gardening Services for a year now. Initially there was a significant amount of work needed to get the garden back in shape. Subsequently the focus has been on maintenance and improvement by additional planting and moving some plants. Everything has been done to a very high standard and Nicki as my main point of contact has been extremely professional and helpful. The regular maintenance visits have always left the garden looking very attractive.

I love my garden but do not like gardening and over the years I have had the help of several gardeners. Following a major re-design four years ago I needed help to maintain what had been done and get help to build on the design as the new planting started to mature. After investigating several firms and meeting Andrew it was obvious that The Drew Neat team had the skill and creativity that I was looking for. Now in the third year of our relationship I have a wonderful garden to enjoy during all seasons.

Trev was excellent from start to finish, he replaced are fence panels and posts which wasn't a straight forward job. Will definitely contact Trev for future works.

Trevor did a fantastic job for us building a retaining wall. His quote was very reasonable and he took great care to do the job well. He is very honest and cares about his work.

Trevor did a fantastic job of installing a new fence that had blown down in a storm, and leveling and laying some astro turf. Good value for money and a clean and tidy job - very pleased with the result we would recommend them.

Rating: 5 / 5

Very good work from Trev and team. He provided a reasonable quote and turned up on time. Completed the work quicky with no complaints to a high standards. It was a tough job as he cut the hedge nearly in half and it's around 8 foot deep.

Adam was a great coach and gave lots of valuable advice on specific questions I had, and on improving the garden generally. Many thanks! Stewart

We've now had 3 coaching sessions with Adam. It's great, we're happy to do most of the work ourselves, but can query things with him, plus his good eye spots problems before we would (diseased plants etc), so we can resolve before they become too bad. Recommended 👍

Tim and his team are the builders you dream of having! A joy to be around, attentive, professional, the whole process was easy and stress free from start to finish. They did our planning, plumbing, ground work, electrics - you name it. Because this is what they specialise in, the process is quick and they give accurate timelines. We’re so happy with our outbuilding and can’t recommend them enough!

Ark did a fantastic job! We recently had a garden studio built by Ark and we cannot rate the team enough. From the planning process with Tim to the actual build, the entire process was fantastic. Tim was able to plan a space that's exactly how we need it and also flexible throughout the process and open to small changes along the way, which resulted in the perfect space for us. Dave and Jack, who built the studio, were so kind, helpful and polite and lovely to have around. They did a superb job! We can 100% recommend Ark and would always use them again!!!

Addition Feb 2024: After such an enjoyable and successful experience in 2021 with Tim and his team we didn't hesitate to work with them again on our next project for a home gym and small office space. Tim was really flexible when we showed him some images of what we visualised and the finished look is exactly what we had in mind. We are so pleased with it. Genuinely couldn't recommend Ark Design enough. Sept 2021: We found ark design three months before moving into our new house and were so impressed with their work we secured a build date before even moving in. Tim, James and their team have been fantastic and have been a pleasure to have around each day. Will actually miss having them here! The level of professionalism and attention to detail is second to none and Tim has been amazing at adapting as the build has progressed and in suggesting creative options at every stage of the build to ensure the final studio meets our needs. The final studio has exceeded our hopes and expectations and we genuinely couldn’t recommend ark design enough. If you’re looking for a studio and are considering ark design, we would say don’t hesitate. Thanks guys!

Tim and James were fantastic throughout the whole build process. We were very picky with the design, changing things all the way up to the build date, but Tim was brilliant at helping us with every small amend and detail that we wanted. Couldn’t recommend them more! And will 100% go to them for anything more we need in the future.
