From the outset, working with Adam has been an absolute pleasure. He listened to my ramblings, asked me insightful questions and managed to capture every nuance of those conversations.

The end result is beyond anything I could have imagined and is the essence of everything I had hoped for. The garden entices me in and indeed commands my attention, but the focal point is the pergola; its bold, structural form is the perfect foil for the lush, architectural planting and the natural elements which surround it. It is stunning - as soon as I saw the design, I knew I had to have it in my garden.

I’m now looking forward to watching it develop into an even more beautiful space to share and enjoy with family and friends.

We are eternally grateful to Adam, who came to the rescue on our new build landscaping project, creating an innovative contemporary garden design to maximise the views from our difficult sloping site and reflect the contours of the surrounding landscape. In addition to his obvious expertise, Adam has shown great flexibility in dealing with our difficult deadlines and liaising with the builders and architect. We felt that Adam really understood us as people and incorporated this, helping us design not just the garden but our whole outside entertaining space. Adam's detailed presentation helped us understand how the garden will look across the seasons - we can’t wait to see the finished planting. I can't recommend Adam highly enough - Thanks Adam.

Adam has designed the most beautiful garden for us, which was implemented and finalised in September 2023. I was really impressed by Adam design process, details attention and professionalism. He managed to transform a very awkward shaped garden in the angled garden which captured all that we asked for on day one. I highly recommend Adam.

Adam Vetere did an amazing job when designing my 100 sqm roof terrace. He was professional, courteous and efficient throughout the process, and his design exceeded my expectations in every respect. The greatest hurdle to overcome with designing a roof terrace is to work within considerable weight limitations and yet to still come up with a pleasing result and make it all look effortless. Adam achieved all that and I could not be more happy with the results. Working with Adam on this project was a pleasure. He was always available and helpful on the phone or by email when I had a query … not a ‘given’ these days. I can highly recommend Adam. If I could give him 10 stars, I happily would.

Adam has designed a beautiful garden for us, which we hope will be implemented in the coming month or two. We have been so impressed with Adam throughout the design process - his design is perfect for our very unusual site, and he listened to all of our requirements throughout. He has done far more than we would have expected in supporting us through the planning application process. We can't wait to see our garden come to life!

Update Aug 2022
Our garden has now been completed and we are absolutely delighted. Despite only increasing the useable area of the garden by a relatively small amount (with a stunning cantilevered deck over a steep slope in the garden), Adam’s clever design means our garden feels very much larger than it did. We have areas for the children to play and three separate seating areas, all tied together by a beautiful planting scheme. We want to be outside all the time! We are so impressed with the way the design maximises the special and unusual setting of our garden in the surrounding landscape. The garden is full of bees and butterflies all day, so we really feel that the project has had a positive impact on the environment around us, too.

Adam’s support during the whole design and build process was exemplary. He clearly has strong links in the industry - the contractor he recommended to complete the project was excellent, and Adam was on hand whenever we or the build team needed design or planting guidance. We can’t recommend him highly enough!
