What Our Clients Say

 
Carterwoods designed and built my small garden, and I was very happy with the results. The guys were professional at all times and a pleasure to have around. They went the extra mile to get the look I required, and created an oasis of calm - my only regret is not having got it done sooner.

Dominic and Brendan transformed my tired North London garden into a beautiful space in a matter of days.  Warm, knowledgeable, insightful, they showed a dedication and love for what they do.  I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We’d lived in our house a long time but never managed to get the garden right. It’s an awkward shape, wide but not very deep and goes right around the house, on several different levels — most of it’s shady too. After several attempts at landscaping and planting over the years we’d given up until we found Carter Woods Garden Design three years ago. Brendan and Dom completely transformed it and the job came in on time and on budget. So since then we’ve asked them back several times to renew fence posts, put the plants ‘to bed’ in winter, look after them while we’re away in summer and vastly improve both our side entrances. We love our garden now and can enjoy it at every season of the year.

I have no hesitation in recommending Brendan and Dom they are excellent landscape gardeners.

They are very considerate and hard working, they arrive on time and leave everything as tidy as possible on leaving.

They carried out the work to a very high standard I am very pleased with the results. I would recommend them to family and friends.
— Linda – Bethnal Green
 
 
The Carterwoods team first produced a beautiful set of drawings and have since transformed our garden into a great space for the children to play and for us adults to relax. Would recommend them to our family and friends.

Brendan and Dom have transformed my north-facing garden in Hackney into a little bit of paradise. I had a tight budget, but they were happy to work within that limit, and indeed suggested all sorts of ways that the money could be stretched as far as possible for the best effect. The overall design was beautifully thought out, and in the two years since they did the work, the planting plan has bloomed and filled the space as conceived. They completed the work in the time estimated, and were delightful to have in the house as they worked. (Everything had to go through the house, from the earth, rubble and rubbish out of the door, to paving and plants in through the door!)

I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any landscaping job.

I knew it would be quite a challenge to transform the overgrown patch of woodland at the back of my home into anything that half resembled a garden, but Brendan and Dom did exactly that, and more. Their expertise and creative knowledge of landscape gardening helped transform a hazy idea in my head into a practical and attractive garden design.

Every step of the way I felt part of the process, from early design stage to construction of the new fences, beds and eventually the planting. They took the time to listen to my ideas and were flexible to incorporate any small changes as the job progressed, always willing to offer creative solutions to any challenges that arose. The result was a beautiful low maintenance garden that retains the natural woodland setting, whilst allowing in much more light and opportunities for plant growth.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with them from start to finish and all my expectations were surpassed. Thanks to them, I now have the garden I always dreamed about.
