Essex Garden Designs

We knew we wanted something different for our new build garden but didn't know where to start. Dawn and Tracy listened to our likes and dislikes and came up with an amazing design for the landscaping and planting, which we would never have thought of ourselves. Once the landscaping was completed they returned to finish the project by adding the planting. They have been in regular contact to check how the garden has been maturing and also to answer any queries we have had. We love our garden and would highly recommend Dawn and Tracy. We thank them for all their expertise and hard work.

Dawn and Tracey have done an amazing job to transform our blank canvas garden to an outdoor living space. From start to finish we were guided and supported, ensuring that the design came to life, as we had hoped. We are truly thankful.

When contacting Essex Garden Designs, we didn’t have any idea what we wanted in a garden, but knew we couldn’t live with the empty, uneven space we inherited with our new build. We warmed to Tracy and Dawn very quickly, their approach was gentle and supportive. There were never any pushy suggestions or attempts at a hard sell. Our budget was limited, and they were mindful of this throughout. Through a process of home visits, consultations and shared exchanges of ideas over several months, we came to the final design which was presented to us as a 3D itemised plan making it easy for us to see how the garden would look once finished...Despite the weather, and with a few minor adjustments to the plan, the garden design came together and we are delighted with the outcome. We have no hesitation in recommending Essex Garden Designs and the Phil’s landscaping team. Our garden space has been transformed and we love it. Tracy and Dawn have been on hand throughout our journey, returning to see how the garden has established itself. What more could we ask for!

We went to Essex Garden Design after being let down by our original contractor. Thank our lucky stars we did!!, Essex Garden Design not only took on our existing garden design, but came up with both improvements and money saving cost. We have ended up with a garden of our dreams . Alex helped us with planting, lighting and the ever important aftercare for looking after our new garden. She was always available whenever we needed her for advice. The build team, lead by Ben, excelled. Making improvements as they went. A top design team with the other ladies all helping out. A top building team always on site, punctual and ever helpful. You will not beat this quality company.

Alex and her team took on a project in our garden to create a new area for a hot tub and loungers. We were really keen to make sure the area looked good, blended in well to the existing garden and didn't take away too much of our existing beds. All of the team were really professional, they totally understood our concerns and took them seriously, made excellent suggestions to make what we wanted worked within the existing structure, enhanced the new area and make sure it blended in well with the whole garden, as well as finishing the new area beautifully, Alex had fantastic ideas to modernise the whole garden with just a few touches, and to make sure it all looked beautiful. The entire team were a delight to have around, extremely creative, turned up when they said they would and really cared about the quality and finish of their work. I would definitely recommend them!

Its a couple of months now since the team completed our garden project and I still look out the window and think is this really our garden. It is beautiful. Picking a partner to work on any project is never easy and a garden is no exception but from design through to execution the team were brilliant. They listened to what we wanted , came up with two very different designs, advised on different aspects as required and delivered a unique product through hard work and attention to detail. The project took just over 5 weeks to complete and Ben and the team were on site every day come rain or shine. Ours was a big project and I know it was not easy to bring all the aspects together seamlessly from planning through to sourcing materials and plants, coordinating all the various tradesmen including joinery and electrics and ultimately delivering the finished garden but they did it.. Everyone who worked on our project took pride in what they did no matter how small a part they played and that is rare. We are delighted with our new garden and would highly recommend Essex Garden Design if you are considering a garden project.. Thanks to everyone for all their hard work and for creating a garden that we can enjoy for years to come.

Essex Garden Designs has just completed our garden build and we couldn’t be happier. We weren’t sure what design we wanted, but were keen to take this part on ourselves. Alex and Ben worked with us to create a plan that incorporated all our needs and wants. Alex was available everyday to talk through any changes or ideas and came over on numerous occasions with material samples. When it was time for the build, Ben and his team were incredibly professional, friendly and reliable and talked us through every detail along the way.

Keisha Baker, Beaulieu Park

Alex, Tracy and Dawn created a beautiful design. Ben and the hard landscaping team then did a brilliant job turning the drawing on the page into reality in our garden. We are really pleased with the outcome and the way in which the whole team worked flexibly to deliver it. Thanks!

Stuart Belfield, Tiptree

We are so thrilled with the garden. It is a wonderful extension to our living space and one we are so excited about using and enjoying. The team were so hard working, professional and showed such attention to detail. Alex and all the team have such vision and passion for creating such wonderful outside spaces. Proven through what can only be described as a truly stunning and beyond expectation end result.

Helen Hull, Wickham Bishops

A wonderful experience. Essex Garden Designs were professional, understanding with my requirements and were extremely hardworking and considerate. I would highly recommend all aspects of the business. A great team! Thank you for everything.

Marilyn Lazelle, Witham

Absolutely delighted with our new garden. From beginning to end the whole team have been a joy to work with and we’d be happy to recommend their services to anyone looking for that little bit of magic.

Alison Inman, Colchester

Thoroughly recommend! The team are professional, hardworking and extremely knowledgeable! They have transformed the garden into a beautiful area, full of colour where I can sit and relax and enjoy! Thank you.

Linda Stroud, Wickham Bishops

Very professional and the project ran to schedule and budget. Excellent communication at all times. Extremely happy with the result!

Emma Flint, Epping

We worked with the team to overhaul parts of our garden that were very tired and worn, primarily a large expanse of decking and some patio areas. As well as replacing a large expanse of rotted decking with composite decking and some sections of basic patio slabs with Yorkstone to match the main patio, the team also installed lighting around the edge of the decking and in the borders to give a fabulous evening and night time ambience. The team was easy to work with and the results are great in terms of visual appeal and quality of workmanship. We would highly recommend Essex Garden Designs and we will be working with them again shortly to replace another patio at the front of the house.
