Report
The team at Graduate gardeners are great. Ann did a fab design and the guys worked through dreadful rain and mud to deliver to the exact brief. This was three years ago and now the garden has matured it is a special place. We only had a small "new house" plot but with raised beds and careful paving we have an easy to maintain garden.

Report
It was just over 2 years ago now that we called in Ann & her team for a design for a small back garden. She came up with a really good and innovative design that she was only too happy to adjust/amend/alter in line with our wishes. A couple of the plantings weren't happy - we never did find out why - but Ann willingly replaced them without any question or delay.
2 years on and the garden is looking as good as it did on Day 1. Thanks Ann & team, only too happy to recommend you.
