Steve and his team became involved with our project after we decided to consider changes to our existing deck along with previously suggested plans for the back garden and driveway.

Steve’s three dimensional drawings, which allowed us to reimagine how we could use our outdoor spaces, gave us the impetus to engage his services. From the beginning, it became evident that Steve and his team worked with passion and in a very collaborative way. This style of working on a project was important to us as, although we agreed on the concept, we were open-minded about how we got there. Everyone in his team has the opportunity to contribute to the project to help deliver the end result. All ideas were considered and evaluated. We felt included in making decisions to ensure that we kept the thinking behind the original concept while at the same time incorporating new ideas, which we believe have added immeasurably to not only the end result but also the experience of transforming our back garden.

From our perspective Natural Gardens lived up to their aim of providing personal, purposeful, beautiful and transformative gardens as well as infrastructure. Thanks Steve.

“Steve came recommended to us and we’re glad he did. he changed our large and neglected garden in to something cohesive, creative, beautiful and full of fruit! he has great ideas, offers innovative solutions to sun, site and soil challenges, and as a bonus is a great guy to have around. we wouldn’t use anyone else.”

“Steve spent time with us discussing a range of options for our garden plans. He allowed us to explain what we wanted to achieve and then presented us with several alternatives which suited our tastes and budget. He was very flexible with his plans which allowed us to pick and choose the elements of the project to suit our circumstances.
When we gave Steve the go-ahead, he tackled the work enthusiastically and had it completed ahead of schedule. He was conscious of “collateral damage” and worked carefully around other plants and beds.
Steve has a friendly nature and was willing to freely pass on advice and ideas for other parts of the garden. It was a pleasure to have him complete work for us and we would happily engage his service again.”

“We have commissioned Steve on a number of occasions to consult on and install our vegetable garden, general planting design and ground maintenance. We are always impressed with Steve’s fresh and innovative approach, his creative flair and commitment to seeing the job through. Steve’s relaxed and friendly manner is a pleasure to be around. We would not hesitate to recommend Steve and will ourselves be using his services again as our garden continues to flourish.”

With some rough ideas about creating a ‘cosy courtyard’ sort of garden area, my husband and I called Steve and asked him to do a concept plan for the work.  He was very enthusiastic about the project and had lots of good ideas from the start.  Throughout the project Steve was easy to communicate with, adaptable to our evolving ideas, knowledgeable about the plants and materials best suited for our site, and supportive of my interest in completing some of the work myself.  The finished product looks fantastic, and as a bonus the project came in under budget by quite a significant amount!  We look forward to working with Steve again on future projects.
