What our customers say …..

  • "Such a breath of fresh air to meet someone so passionate and frankly obsessed with design for both functionality and form it was obvious after our first meeting that there was simply no one else for the job but David. He also has a wonderful team who helped re arrange dates for meeting without any pressure and clarified how we could separate the process by separating the designs, scope of works, estimates from landscape companies he has worked with."

    Stuart Buck

  • "Well our garden project is now 2years old and is much used every summer with garden party's evenings chilling in the summer sun watching our koi and Alfie playing in our Rock pool! Dave came out firstly to work with my ideas of what we wanted for Kaysies seaside deck and was very easy to talk to and professional. I would recommend Up the garden path to anyone who wants a professional beautiful garden."

    Jane

  • "Our main priority was that the garden should be easier to maintain and be grand children friendlly. David came to our house and quickly accessed how he could achieve this and how the level differences from front to back and side to side could be better incorporated into the design. David's design meet all our requirements and the now completed garden gives us great pleasure."

    Helen & Alan

    Matt C

  • "David worked on designs for our courtyard, pond and overall garden. He came up with fantastic ideas to transform our initial thoughts. We were extremely impressed with his enthusiasm and thoroughness through all aspects of the projects."

    Ken & Sue Vincent

  • "If you want a truly professional, one stop solution to your garden design problems then look no further than Up The Garden Path. From the first contact with Rachel, the initial meeting with David, the landscape team of Gary and Tom to the finished product, I just got the impression that meeting my requirements was the number one aim. No photograph of mine can do the work justice, you have to see the actual garden, but this may give some idea."

    Phil Sears

  • "Our south facing front garden was transformed from a car park with some planted borders to screened patio areas perfect for relaxing on but still with enough parking space. The whole process was smooth and efficient with great ideas to help come up with the final design. We have the perfect result - better even than we anticipated and could not recommend UTGP highly enough."

    Rob

  • "We requested Up the Garden Path to makeover our rear garden and so contacted them through their website. We were really impressed with David's approach to taking on the entire project. He was incredibly patient in helping us with design ideas for our garden and produced a stunning design that met all of our criteria and exceeded our expectations. It was a pleasure working with him and we would recommend David and Up the Garden Path to anyone."

    Steven Bowen

  • "I found David and immediately he impressed us with his professionalism and design expertise as well as his unending enthusiasm. He drew up a design that mirrored exactly what we wanted. His team at the time were brilliant and all these years on our garden is the best thing we every spent money on. Everyone who visits comments on it. We asked David back and now we have a "room" in our garden that is just fabulous. I would not hesitate to recommend David and his team to anyone. Our garden is our perfect haven so thank you David, it has truly stood the test of time too!"

    Julie

  • "We had a medium sized area at the front of house and a large area at the back and both were fairly boring & parts were covered in decking. David's design made extensive use of trellis screening, smallish flower beds and gravel. Plus much better paving slabs for the areas paved. Everybody that visits our house makes comments on the work and how good it looks. "

    Patrick

  • "We met David a couple of years ago and a Homebuilding Exhibition where he was giving a talk about garden design. David came to our home and spent the day with us going over ideas for our new garden, his enthusiasm is great and makes for an enjoyable experience. The design that came out of this process is one that we are very pleased with and would never have managed to come up with on our own. "

    Richard

  • "We have been in our house for over 20 years without ever substantially changing the layout of our garden. With children leaving home and various structures becoming redundant (ferret cage, trampoline) we felt it was time to get help with making some changes. We found David on-line and when we met him we felt he understood our style of gardening and wouldn't try to change it. We spent a good half day together drawing up the design and I am very pleased with the first phase (a lovely new path) which has already changed the whole feel of the garden."

    Madeleine

  • "We chose Up the Garden Path to do something imaginative with our small garden which had been unloved for thirty years or so. After research we found David to be one of the very few qualified designers in the area. He met with us and blew us away with his enthusiasm and design skills. After agreeing a design his team executed it to perfection, checking with us at every stage. We were kept updated on deliveries and schedules and Rachel in the office stayed in touch and checked we were happy with progress. Our garden is now a delight and has many features packed into small town garden. Can thoroughly recommend David and his team."

    Paul

  • “We chose up-the-garden-path after spotting their sign on some earlier work. David Robinson came and talked to us about our wishes and ambitions and our budget then he prepared plans for us to see. We were delighted and accepted all his recommendations.”

    Anthony

  • "Any size garden can benefit from David's magic! I have just been sitting out in the sunshine enjoying our newly designed garden which is now a haven of tranquillity and colour. Ours is a modest garden which now suddenly seems twice the size thanks to some clever design ideas. The garden now feels like a real extension of the house at a fraction of the cost! We cannot fault the service and attention given by David and his whole team. Can't wait now for you to come back and do the front garden!! Thanks so much."

    Malcolm & Lisa

  • “Keen plants-people, we have one of the larger gardens on a 1970s' development. Despite years of reshaping and tweaking we had not been able to change the layout of the garden to give emphasis and support to the planting scheme. We met David Robinson at Grand Designs Live in 2011 and after talking to him liked his realistic approach to planning a garden. When he came to see the garden and drew up some ideas we never doubted that this was the answer we had been searching for. Visitors are bowled away by the difference and can't get over how much bigger the plot looks now.”

    Christine A

  • “We met David a year ago at the Home Improvement and Renovation Show at the NEC. Having listened to one of his seminars we headed off to find his stand. David listened to what we wanted and came up with instant ideas and solutions. Once we'd finalised the house plans David came out to see us again to draw up final schemes for the garden, again spending lots of time and patience. We would thoroughly recommend David and Up the Garden Path, who offered us a first class service and the end results looked fantastic. Thanks for everything.”
