LISTENED TO WHAT WE WANTED:

 

"We were very happy with our garden designer from the very beginning.

 

"We felt she really listened to what we wanted and was able to overcome some difficulties we were expecting.

 

"Our garden was a funny shape and on quite a steep incline - no one was interested on taking on such a challenge until I was introduced to Ann.  She was very enthusiastic, really listened to what we wanted in the garden and had some really good ideas to add.

 

"The end result was an absolutely stunning garden which is continuing to grow even more beautiful.”
