First Garden Design | Garden Designer

Ken at First Garden Design, consulted with us and then designed the garden of our dreams. His knowledge, care, and attention to detail in every aspect of the design and planning through to overseeing the project has been invaluable. Our new garden is now an extra living space that we use and enjoy whenever we can.

We had our back garden completely transformed and all our visitors are impressed with the design. Ken is very polite, turns up on time and takes his time. He covers all the potential options and listens to your ideas and gives advice and shows what they will look like on perfectly drawn plans. I cannot fault him and so pleased with his work.

From the outset, Ken made designing our garden a great experience. He was very engaged, listening well to our needs, especially for disabled access and flexible spaces for a family of 4 generations. His knowledge, expertise and level of excellence is hard to find these days. Ken turned our scattered ideas into a beautiful, functional space that our family has enjoyed immensely.

We have used Ken a number of times for various garden design projects. He is a skilled and experienced professional with an incredible talent for bringing together ideas. He is warm and friendly and sets high standards for contractors to meet. I would heartily recommend Ken for any design work.

Ken designed a lovely garden for me still English country garden with a modern twist.Ken was great listened to me and came up with some great ideas to transform my untidy garden to a beautiful area. Would recommend Ken. Thank you

We used Ken for a complete re design of our garden. We gave him our initial thoughts and he was able to come up a number of ideas which we have now incorporated into our design. The artwork produced really helped us visualise exactly what the garden was going to look like and his knowledge was second to none. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Ken!!

When I decided to remove the decking in my garden, I did not realise that I was about to embark on an exciting journey of total garden transformation.Once I had discovered that to end up with a design that fitted with the various levels in my garden and my vision for a relaxing space, I would have to bite the bullet and look for someone who would sensitively work with my ideas and guide me in the necessary safety in the level changes.Ken responded to my search and expertly guided me to rethinking my garden. I was very impressed with his approach and thoroughness in research of how I lived, my interests, how I would use the garden, times of using the garden and my choice of flowers and colour schemes.With this information Ken came up with a design that seamlessly divided the garden into three: patio by the back door, steps down to a path and grass area with pergola and flower bed, and at the bottom more steps down to the river terrace.Ken has an eye for what is important to design a garden that functions for his customer, and his attention to detail ensures a grand design. He has a sense of humour which showed in his comment about the number of steps needed in my garden, as he reassured me that any steps in the garden would have a tread wide enough for Ken’s attention to detail and understanding of the customer’s wishes gives the customer confidence in garden transformation.
