Testimonials

“Dan was so easy to work with and quickly understood our vision for the garden. His design was exactly what we wanted – innovative with so many nice features. He is such a knowledgeable person in all aspects of the design and horticulture.”

December 2025, near Romsey

“Dan’s professionalism and expertise were evident from our first meeting and we were amazed at the amount of time and effort he put into creating a front garden that we can now be proud of. He kept us informed at every stage of the process from design right through to planting. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services.”

Marilyn

“Dan has done a fantastic job on redesigning our large garden. He initially cleared our tired beds, then provided detailed drawings and maintenance schedules for a lovely cottage garden scheme, incorporating a number of well-established shrubs into the design. He sourced and planted out the entire garden, always being on site when he advised and working very hard when here. We are so pleased with the outcome and look forward to enjoying it as it gets established. I think he provides great value for money and would recommend him to everyone.”

“Dan was great to work with. He took our very vague ideas and crafted something that will look great once established. He also supplied us with a maintenance schedule for the various plants which will be invaluable!”

Andrew

“Dan has done an absolutely brilliant job of transforming our garden. He dug out about 100 plants from a large rockery, came up with an imaginative and sustainable planting scheme (together with a detailed maintenance plan) and did a superb job of replanting the whole area. It’s made the most enormous difference to our garden. Thank you, Dan. You were an absolute pleasure to work with.”

“Delighted with this highly recommend service. It was a pleasure to work with Dan to help us design our garden. There was a great exchange of ideas and Dan was able to use his expertise to create a design that fitted with our vision. He delivered on time and within budget. We couldn’t recommend DP garden design more highly and are delighted with the beautiful results.”

J & T

“Dan worked with us to create a garden design that we can now provide to landscapers. The process was simple and we are now confident we will get exactly what we want – something we might have struggled to do without him and his expertise. I feel Dan has created a design that has ticked all our boxes.”

Emma

“I had a garden in which many of my plants were dying within a year of planting. I consulted Dan. He found the cause and recommended a very different planting scheme. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, punctual and hard working. Well worth his fee.”

Bryan

“Dan was very attentive and very cost-effective. He went to considerable trouble to really understand what we wanted. Unlike another designer who wanted £5,000 just for a straightforward design. We shall be implementing his design scheme in the next 2-3 months. Highly recommended!”

January 2024, in Winchester

“Dan brings an expertise and enthusiasm to his work that gives the client support and confidence. He is professional, hard working and reliable”

Why a Landscape Garden Designer?

Typically a garden should equate to between 5-20% of the value of your property. It can add real value to your home if done properly, in the same way an extension or well designed interior can do so too. It is therefore a great investment. You also want to enjoy this outside ‘room’ of your house to the maximum, otherwise it is simply wasted space.

If you simply want a patio or pathway then you are looking for a landscaper. However, if you want someone to get a real understanding for your space, the genius loci (the spirit of place) is something a good designer will focus on. At DP Garden Design we will take the surrounding area, style of our clients home, scale, materials and planting into consideration to build a garden with balance, unity and rhythm.

We can ensure planting that is beautiful and sympathetic to the design whilst also being practical and suitable for the conditions, so avoiding expensive mistakes.

We can take the stress of the project away by managing a competitive tender process with contractors to ensure the best value for our clients, as well as managing communications with planning authorities, and contractors throughout the process to ensure your garden is delivered to specification legally.

In summary the short term cost of a designer will make you money in the longer run and provide you with a beautiful area you can enjoy and maximise.

We work with clients across Hampshire , including Winchester, as well as Surrey, Sussex, Berkshire, Dorset & Wiltshire.
