Hi Mark, the total cost in terms of payments to you and the your builder has only been £10,709. This is well under the maximum budget we gave you and shows how we have benefitted from your skill in buying trees, shrubs and plants. Our process began in March 2022 with your designs and it is remarkable how little you and we have had to deviate from them.
It has also been a pleasure having you work here, and Fynne keeping a watchful eye on proceedings. We aren’t normally dog lovers but he’s exceptional and will always be welcome. Well behaved and with a glint of intelligence in his eyes. Of course in mid-winter the garden is apparently largely dormant, but we shall really look forward to Spring time. You are welcome to bring potential clients to see it and use photos for publicity.
We now move towards the maintenance phase of nurturing and encouraging this baby and we look forward to your help in this next year. Soon I shall have time to sit down and read your book, with enhanced regard for the author.
— Mr & Mrs Marcuss
A short note of thanks and appreciation for your tutoring, alongside manual effort and advice to give us ownership of our garden and an area of enjoyment and relaxation. Wishing you success in the business and looking forward to an occasional tutoring session.
— Sandra & Andrew Goodall - Portishead
Mark has been a godsend! I struggled for years trying to get the garden in my head to materialize, and now with Marks patient guidance, encouragement and tutoring it is finally taking shape. This combination of working together opens up new ideas and knowledge and it was just what I was looking for. I did not want someone to come and maintain my garden and I didn’t want a garden designer to design ‘their’ garden. I wanted my vision to come to life and with Marks help it has, I couldn’t be happier.

Mark has turned our garden from a very ordinary, overgrown green space with shrubs to a garden with borders, spaces, shape and colour throughout the year. He is knowledgeable and skilled, and Mark always has good suggestions and excellent taste. Be adventurous and he will provide the inspiration to help you make your garden flourish.

Hi Mark, I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with all you have done. With everything I have spent on this place I think what you have added represents easily the best ‘ Bang for your buck ‘ Thank you and appreciated.
— James Coller - Portishead

Great to know you enjoyed the work Mark, we appreciate having someone like yourself enjoying the work and providing great service, Vanessa ( Clifton )

My wife and I have much pleasure in recommending Mark for his work in the garden and as a designer. Mark has worked very successfully on our garden and we have no hesitation in recommending him to any prospective client. Marks knowledge of all aspects of gardening and garden design are excellent.

Thank you so much Mark, garden looked beautiful for the wedding. All your hard work was obvious and we were out in the garden on our return from the church, which is just what we wanted, a beautiful day, Thank you, Nicola ( 2023 )

We inherited Mark when we moved into our new house and asked him to stay on working with the garden. He has been instrumental in developing our mature garden in stages, to more reflect our vision. He listens, offers advice, designs and creates bespoke borders full of colour, texture and interest that reflect the changing seasons. The garden is being transformed into something we are proud of and will enjoy for many years to come, thanks Mark.
