Lee has been brilliant with our strange garden requirements. We have two young children and bought a house that used to be offices – so it has a grey, stony car park at the back of it. I wanted child-friendly, fun and stylish. Lee looked at a design I’d come up with and made it into a really stylish design that will actually work for all the family, whilst also making sure that the plants are non-toxic, hardy by the play area and my favourite plant colours. One of my worries about using any professionals was that they can usually take your opinions, and discard them to design something that will look good in their portfolio but not necessarily suit the client. This isn’t the case with Lee; he meets up with you a number of times, discusses ideas, shows mood boards and ideas and he uses an iterative design approach so you can really get the detail you want. He’s also very open to working within budgets – ours isn’t huge and he’s suggested many ways of keeping it down. I’m very excited about actually starting our project in the next few weeks!
