Bel Grierson | Garden Designer & Plantswoman

Hi, I’m Bel and i believe that every garden should be a place to really treasure...
With the right layout, materials and planting, your outside space should provide you with a calming place to unwind, refresh and enjoy being outdoors. With many of us working from home and travelling less in these challenging times, having a welcoming outdoor space is so important to our wellbeing.

Your garden needn’t be a daunting, with unmanageable planting, poor layout and tired paving materials detering you from being outside enjoying your own little piece of paradise. With 20 years of knowledge and experience i help clients create enticing spaces using natural materials like natural stone and wood, teamed with manageable colourful planting selected to suit your style and the conditions.

If you are looking to make the most out of your garden and create a peaceful green oasis then i can help. My expertise enables me to design, create and manage beautiful plant rich gardens to soothe the soul and captivate the senses. So where do we start...?"

Creating Your Perfect Garden...

If you're dreaming of a beautiful garden to enjoy and relax in then Bel can help. There are a few things to consider:

How will you use your new garden?
Will it be a space to entertain friends and family; a calm relaxing area to wind down after a busy day; a family friendly garden with room for the children to play; a wildlife friendly paradise; a modern garden room linking to the house or simply a gardeners garden full of pretty planting?

What are your priorities;
Hard landscaping; entertaining space: planting; privacy screening; low maintenance; How much time do you have to maintain the garden; does it need to be family and wheelchair friendly?

What is your current garden like;
Is the site level or sloping; is it a sun trap or a shady spot; what is the access like; what are the site conditions like – clay soil, hot and dry, damp and shaded?

When you chose to contact Bel, she will ask you these questions and a few more besides. If the project seems feasible Bel will arrange to visit for an initial consultation. All projects begin with this informal meeting which allows Bel to view the garden, determine the scale of the project and establish the clients requirements for the space whilst offering inspiration, expertise and ideas for the landscaping and planting features. There'll also be a discussion about budget and time frames for installation. If the project is suitable, following the consultation Bel will create a brief to work from and provide a proposal of works detailing the phases of the project including the creation of a Garden and/or Planting Design Package.

Based near Loughborough in the East Midlands, Bel provides garden design services in Loughborough, Ashby de la Zouch, Leicester and across Leicestershire, South Derbyshire & South Nottinghamshire. Contact Bel today to book an initial consultation.

We are absolutely delighted with our beautiful new garden designed and installed by Bel! We had an unusually shaped garden which we didn't have the knowledge to handle, but at the same time had quite specific ideas of what we liked and disliked. Bel listened to our ideas and the challenge didn't phase her at all! The preparation of the the soil by her team, and the planting of the garden by Bel herself over three days couldn't have gone smoother. We would highly recommend Bel in terms of her expertise, conscientiousness and friendly, easy going personality and we can't stop looking at our amazing new garden!

Mrs Harrison - Woodhouse Eaves, Leicestershire

"If you are looking for advice on your garden or a new designs then look no further than Bel Grierson. We have used her on several aspects of our garden to lower the maintenance and update the planting with spectacular results. Bel is easy to work with and is totally in tune with all our requirements."

Mr Stapleton - Rothley, Leicestershire

"Bel has delivered a delightful garden with a design that has transformed a shallow plot surrounded by fences, into a garden full of interest. Bel listened carefully to our concerns and gave her total attention to each step of the way."

Mr & Mrs Bayley - Loughborough, Leicestershire

/

"Our 20 year old garden was looking tired and boring. No colour and a mishmash of plants that were past their sell-by date. We had no idea what to do to rescue the situation as we knew very little about what plants would do well. Then we found Bel. Our garden is transformed; beautiful colour that just keeps coming all through the year, easy maintenance and a joy to sit and look at with an appropriate glass in one hand. Bel interpreted our thoughts perfectly and has produced an extraordinary result. She is patient with non-gardeners, knowledgeable and highly professional. Not afraid to get her hands dirty and endlessly helpful. I simply cannot recommend her too highly."

Mr & Mrs Benussi - Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire

"Bel redesigned and planted our garden this summer. It has transformed it from dark and dingy to a fresh open space. Bel is a pleasure to work with, friendly and helpful, full of ideas and always ready to listen to what you want and find the best way of delivering it. Recommended!"

Mr Goodman - Loughborough, Leicestershire

/

"Bel provided good advice and warm, friendly and professional support at all stages of our garden transformation. Her knowledge about plants and her design ideas gave us confidence from the outset. We are delighted with the result, and now look forward to enjoying our new garden in the months and years to come."

Mr Corner - Rearsby, Leicestershire

/

"Bel has recently redesigned a large area in my garden which was previously a 'wilderness'. I was very pleased with the design that she came up with - it was clear that she had paid attention to what I had said I wanted and understood my style. Great communication throughout the process and now that the planting is finished I am looking forward to next spring and watching it develop."

Mrs Phillips - Ratby, Leicestershire

Thank you very much Bel for your design to renovate our back garden. It’s been great to work with you, we really appreciated spending time with you to hear your ideas and develop those with you for a new vision for our garden. We love the pond and wild at the back of the garden and the new plants you’ve sourced have all settled in very well and we are excited to see how they will grow!

Mr & Mrs Adshead, Loughborough
