TESTIMONIALS

TESTIMONIALS

  • “We were delighted with our garden. Mel listened to the vague hand-waving about what we wanted and produced a design that was surprising, functional, stylish, and we couldn’t think how it could have been improved.”

    Michelle and Pete, Honor Oak Park, London.

  • “The best thing about working with Melanie was that she combines a close listening ear with fantastic creative flair. She took the time to really understand what we wanted, then took it to the next level with thoughtful, knowledgeable suggestions to realise our vision, and then some! She's created a space where we love to spend time as a family, and to entertain friends.”

    Rose, Bristol.

  • “Melanie is absolutely fantastic, and created a stunning garden for me and my family. She transformed a blank, new-build terrace into a lush garden that is inviting (and low-maintenance) year round. So delighted.”

    Tugela, London.

  • “Mel's vision for how her clients want to live in their garden & make the most of it, is inspiring to watch. As an interior designer, I strive for the same outcomes. She gets how incredible a finished project can be when we take the time to come together & plan for how the indoor & outdoor spaces interact. I can't wait to work with Mel again!”

    Sarah Eagle Interiors, Sorrento, Australia.

  • “We reached out to Melanie to transform our large family garden and make sense of two levels. In response to a long list of desirables she was able to deliver a masterplan that we can build in stages over time. The first stage is now built and we're so happy with the transformation it has made for our family. We've got a beautiful new entertaining space that we're using all the time and has completely changed the way our home and garden connect to each other. Communication was easy and brilliant throughout the project, and Melanie was an absolute pleasure to work with.”

    Catherine and James, Sydenham, London.

  • "Our whole experience with Melanie had been great. She really listened to what we wanted, and created a garden which we are absolutely thrilled with. Each stage was carefully checked with us from the plan to the materials to the plants! "

    Anna, Crystal Palace, London.
