Passionate about designing colourful gardens in Kent

 

My garden design philosophy is simple: to create a beautiful and practical garden that will change your life for the better.

 

My professional career as a garden designer grew from a year-long course i undertook in 2006 whilst working as a garden manager for a garden designer based in West London.  Later, i studied at the esteemed Capel Manor college, which gave me the confidence in 2007 to undertake my first garden design commission in Stoke Newington, London.

Here are a selection of projects that highlight the diverse styles of gardens that i design.

Situated outside of the French doors and planted against a black fence, this verdant planting has maximum impact.

A rustic-style path, flanked by wild flowers, leads to a combination of decorative screens and rustic fencing.

Contrasting fencing, path materials and planting in Eynsford, Kent

Proving that different styles can work in harmony, two contrasting fencing designs and two path materials, flanked by wild flowers on one side and herbaceous planting on the other, create visual interest as well as food and habitats for wildlife.

Tutoring

As well as garden design, I also offer a garden tutoring service with the result that you can be confident in maintaining your own garden without the need to hire professional help.

For the small fee of £300, I will visit you at your property for between 3 – 5 hours, talk you through the plants that you have on your site, advise you of their growth habits, flowering times and specific individual requirements and guide you in pruning, feeding and maintaining them to ensure that they look their absolute best throughout the year.  I will also test your soil’s PH, moisture and light levels and teach you how to maintain the perfect growing environment for your plants.

Testimonials

My garden design and tutoring testimonials speak for themselves. Here are a selection of comments from my always happy customers

I found Saul via Google maps, along with a few other local designers and he was the only person to respond, to come and look at my garden and to consider the challenge. I will be eternally grateful he did as I now have a beautiful garden. He spent a couple of hours getting to know me and talking through what I wanted to achieve. We spent a further couple of hours talking through a design and the various options. Saul made my garden, as well as designed it. He is diligent and incredibly hardworking, and clearly cares so much about creating a beautiful space. Friends and family have commented how 'me' my garden is. That shows you how clever Saul is at figuring out what you are about!

Rachel, Sevenoaks, Kent
We have never used a garden/patio designer before, and so the process and outcome were a complete mystery to us. In fact, a couple of family members said they thought that they would be able to design our patio just as well instead of paying a fee for a professional. But reading so many positive reviews, we thought we'd take the plunge. Now that its finished, we are all just blown away. Its simply stunning. And we're so delighted that we spent just less than 5% extra getting a designer, but saved ourselves far more in the build and materials, and ended up with a far, far better outcome.
