I am an experienced garden designer based in Yorkshire, with an established reputation for creating workable and innovative gardens that are tailor-made for my clients and their gardens. I am able to provide a garden design service that combines creativity, practical knowledge and attention to detail.
From the initial visit, through the planning and building stages of the project, to the planting and aftercare, I will be able to guide and advise. I have been involved in designing and building award-winning show gardens, and have created bespoke sculptures for these. My links with Harrogate Flower Show include running garden design clinics and judging the college show gardens.
I was there again in 2014, having designed the BALI show garden. My garden at Bramham Lodge featured in the Garden Design Journal's Review of the Year 2009. A contemporary garden with Millboard decking, a rill, lawns and borders with sweeping curves. An elegant garden that incorporates curved walls, a formal rill, a ditch/rain garden to aid.

The Beeches, Boston Spa, is a property with a contemporary kitchen extension that opens out onto Millboard. This design incorporates curved walls, a formal rill, a ditch/rain garden to aid lawn drainage, a circular den, hardwood. Mediterranean-style planting at the Mitchells', in the very appropriately named (on that day) "Sunnybank".

Helen has done a fantastic job with the complete redesign of our back garden. She took our fairly basic ideas and added some personality to the design and planting. She came up with some suggestions which at the time didn't seem that significant but turned out to be inspired and have added a lot of beneficial character to the garden. Her design, and the construction by Aire Valley Landscapes, have brought major benefits that we are only now appreciating. She has turned a rather lack-lustre garden on a difficult site (with slopes in 2 directions) into one that we now want to spend lots of time in

I asked Helen to provide the full range of her services (design through to planting) and am extremely happy with the result. We now have a wonderful garden to enjoy. Helen was there to provide help when it was needed (eg deciding on hard landscaping materials and fencing) - being able to benefit from her experience and understanding of what would complement the setting was so useful. Throughout the project Helen was professional, courteous and friendly and I would highly recommend her.
