Where it all begins - Creating your Dream Garden...

Are you looking to transform your garden? Want to make the most of the outdoor living space? Bel is here to help you do just that. So where do we start...

The Garden Design process starts with a few simple questions:

How do you want to use your new garden once it's complete; 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; planting; privacy screening; low maintenance?
Then come the practicality questions; is the site level or sloping; is it a sun trap or a shady spot; what is the access like; does it need to be family and wheelchair friendly; how much time do you have to maintain the garden; what are the site conditions like – clay soil, hot and dry, damp and shaded?

The answers to these key questions are established during 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. Following the consultation Bel will create a brief to work from and provide a proposal of works before moving onto the fun bit - the Garden Design Plans and Planting Design.

Well connected in the industry, Bel has an established network of skilled professionals to call on, be it gardeners, landscape gardeners or tree surgeons to take the project from the design board through to the finished dream garden. See Bel's Portfolio for examples of recently completed garden projects.

Based near Loughborough in the East Midlands, Bel provides garden design services in Loughborough, Ashby de la Zouch, Leicester and across 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."

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

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.

Mr Corner - Rearsby, Leicestershire
