Services
Balanis Gardening Design is the trading name for Louise Barby. Louise has been a recreational gardener for over 25 years. In the last 10 years Louise has turned that hobby in to a blooming professional business. Louise has both the formal plantsman's knowledge and many years practical experience gardening around Norfolk.
Louise likes to involve the customer as much, or as little, as they want to be involved. Some customers have a clear and precise idea of what they want in their garden. Others want Balanis to take control and let Louise's imagination and floral artistry take it's own natural path with their garden design.
Whatever your garden design requirements Balanis is here to help. We have our own full-time staff for all "soft" landscaping - everything horticultural and organic. For the "hard" landscaping we work with some of the best contractors in the area. Louise project manages the whole experience - the client deals only with Balanis.
Having lived in Norfolk since 2000, the team at Balanis understand how hard it can be to find a reliable gardener. The business focus of Balanis is Garden Design - however - we do have limited availability for garden maintenance within North Norfolk (Thornham, Brancaster & surrounding area). We understand that Garden Maintenance is something that needs to be done regularly and reliably.
Small Garden Design - Thornham The photographs below showcase a recently finished project for a couple in Thornham. The brief was simple - to give the garden some TLC, keep. The photographs below show a recent garden design in a secluded property tucked behind the old school house in Thornham. This medium sized courtyard garden was transformed from a bland.

Louise and her team at Balanis recently undertook a design and build project on our garden along the Norfolk coast. From design through to completion she listened to our requirements and has produced a scheme we are delighted with. Both the hard landscaping and planting are excellent and we no hesitation in recommending Balanis.

I would like to publicly thank Louise, Kevin, Molly and Tristan for the great work they did transforming our garden in Thornham. All my garden likes & dislikes have been considered. I now have a garden I am very proud of. With Louise's excellent plant care sheets I feel confident maintaining it myself. I have no hesitation in recommending Balanis Garden design

Finding a reliable gardener who knows what to plant, where to plant it and when to prune it has been a huge relief for me. My medium sized garden in Hunstanton has been getting too much for me lately, and I was worried about it becoming an eyesore. With Louise's dedication and skill I now have a beautiful garden that is the envy of my neighbours. Louise is polite, reliable and involves the owner as much, or as little as they want her to. Highly recommended
