What our customers are saying

The exceptional team of Karen McClure has left a lasting impression on us at Corker. We are fortunate to showcase 15 breathtaking show gardens and it was an absolute dream to have Karen and her team design a garden for us. When they agreed to collaborate with us, we were thrilled beyond words. From the very beginning, it was a brilliant experience working with Karen and her team. They took the time to truly understand our values, the future of our company, and what we stand for as a business. The team utilized all of this information to create an awe-inspiring garden design that left us speechless. Their presentation was nothing short of incredible, and their communication throughout the process was unparalleled. Through extensive discussions, the team decided that the garden should serve as our entertaining area, a place where we can host events and allow our family to relax and unwind. We were impressed by their use of natural materials, from the stunning thermo bamboo cladding to the striking bright pink sapele timber window. Karen and her team’s professionalism and responsiveness to on-site questions were truly exceptional. We are thoroughly pleased with the final result and are looking forward to working with them again in the future. Their outstanding work has inspired us and has exceeded all of our expectations. We would like to extend an invitation to witness the magnificent design from team Karen McClure in person. If you are interested in experiencing the beauty and creativity of their work, we welcome you to visit us at our location just off the A228 near Paddock Wood.
Oliver Corker , Tonbridge

From the first meeting, we felt that Karen and the team had a good understanding of what we were trying to achieve. Through the subsequent discussions and design reviews, they created a fantastic concept that incorporated our ideas and provided us with a garden, now that it has been finished, that we love to spend time in. We would highly recommend the services of Karen and her team, and will be working with her again soon!
Mr Cumbers, Sevenoaks

I highly recommend the team at Karen McClure Garden design who transformed an awkward town courtyard and front garden into a beautiful, useful living space which has become the favourite part of our house. The process was very collaborative and between us we found the perfect balance of what I imagined and what was possible. An excellent landscaping company worked alongside Karen and her team solving any problems that arose. The communication was great and made us feel well looked after. 18 months on the planting is well established and looking more beautiful than ever!
Mrs Masterson, Tunbridge Wells

Karen and her team came up with some fabulous designs and concepts which excited us from the off. Having appointed KMGD to create our new Garden they carried out an extremely efficient and wonderful job and as a Family we are all so delighted enjoying time in the Garden. I would highly recommend Karen and will be using her services again.
Mr Glenister, Tunbridge Wells

KMGD were very imaginative in creating a wonderful landscaped garden around our new eco friendly house. They were spot on with colour matches and materials with some fantastic original ideas.
Mr Joad, Tunbridge Wells

Great team. We would definitely work with KMGD again if the opportunity presented itself. Thank you for our amazing family space and garden.
C J Giddy, Tunbridge Wells

Karen and her team have been working with us on our garden project for the last couple of years. Their advice and encouragement has been immensely important to us both in terms of re-imagining what our space could be and bringing it to life. There is no way we would have got to where we are today without a team of professional garden designers and project managers. KMGD have the best contacts for landscapers and horticultural suppliers which brings considerable peace of mind. Our project has been a true collaboration.
Mr Hamill, Tunbridge Wells

The team take the time to understand what you want. They then take your ideas, create a beautiful design and turn it into reality. Karen McClure’s team organise everything and take the stress out of creating a beautiful garden.
