In an hour's online consultation, Lee led us cheerfully through several aspects of design to think about for our front garden. It was really helpful and left us with plenty of ideas, which is exactly what we needed. Thanks, Lee

The one hour consultation was absolutely ideal. It gave us everything that we were hoping for. As well as being very friendly, Lee gave us a range of excellent ideas and advice which will be invaluable to us as we plan and implement our new garden. He also gave us the confidence that we could take on the project rather than asking someone else to design and build it for us. He explains things clearly and simply, allowing us to absorb the lessons he has learned as a garden designer tailoring his advice to our situation and garden.
We cannot speak highly enough about our experience with Lee.

booked a hour consultation to brainstorm some garden ideas and the result was phenomenal! Lee is extremely knowledgeable and provide specific recommendations base don your needs and final goals. Also, he was available with any follow up questions (even silly ones) that I had, treated with professionalism and a practical angle. A shame he does not live in London otherwise it would have been my easy go-to!

Love Lee's style, help and the fact he is always happy to share his knowledge - not many 'experts' do that. Love the videos tutorials too

Having looked at Lee's website I decided a one hour consultation would be good to try. What a brilliant service! Lee was lovely, putting me at ease within the first five minutes. We went through my long list and Lee came up with some great ideas. He also emailed me notes and sketches from the session. A lovely person, with lots of practical ideas and knowledge. I would reccommend trying this to anyone.
