Raine was absolutely fantastic in getting to know us and understand our design requirements. She spent lots of time us to develop the design and was not afraid to challenge our suggestions to maintain the integrity of the garden design. A funny, warm and friendly person, Raine was just perfect in working with us, to design our dream garden. We've just got to build it now.

So happy we chose Raine to guide us through the perils of designing a new garden from scratch. Raine took the time to get to know us and our style before discussing the practicalities, pitfalls and pleasures of designing a beautiful garden which would be well balanced for our space. Every step was meticulously planned, making sure we were in total agreement along the way. Raine has been open to discussion, has offered relevant exciting suggestions, and has overseen the construction and planting with genuine passion.

We are absolutely delighted with our beautifully designed garden. Raine has created a truly stunning area for us to relax and enjoy. The cedar structures, plants and colours all add to the Mediterranean feel.
On meeting Raine, we immediately felt we could work together. She really spends time learning how you live and what you want to get from your outdoor area. She is then happy to constantly amend the brief as the project progresses.
We weren't sure about a couple of the suggestions initially but we soon came to trust Raine's judgement. She really does know what she's talking about and can

Raine exercised her full planning expertise to convert our garden into a glorious and wonderful space to entertain and relax in. The challenge was to design a planting plan within the constraints of the hard landscaping that had been carried out relatively recently and we were not prepared to change. Raine’s additional suggestions (almost bordering on insistence - but well meant and certainly justified) to replace the pergola with three magnificent cedar arches and the fencing with Venetian style panels we followed. These changes, together with the fabulous planting design, has completely transformed

Every day I marvel at our garden, and the magic Raine has woven in our lives. Every day I go out and frankly just revel in the garden... the sheer joy that it brings me and hubby - the water feature, the screens, the plants, the space, the "wow!" Working with Raine is really enjoyable - she did challenge my thinking, she did inspire me to invest in the garden I really wanted and not just compromise, and she continues to encourage me to send photos and be excited about it all. And she's generous in sharing her knowledge too. If you want a garden to really love, to be really proud of and amazed at

Raine took our very plain patch of grass and created a beautiful oasis of calm throughout. Raine and her brilliant team worked tirelessly over 4 months. We now have a wonderful family garden with plenty of lawn space, a wild flower area at the edge of the sunken trampoline, an exquisite rose-laden pergola, borders bursting with scent and year round texture and colour. Raine’s landscaping team worked with awkward gradients to add retaining walls, flower beds and an elegant paved entertaining terrace overlooking the garden. Her cheerful alacrity but strong focus made Raine an absolute pleasure

Raine is very customer focused, creative and also willing to challenge your thinking! She designed a beautiful garden for us on a plot that was uncleared with multiple levels - so quite a challenge. She took on board our needs as a growing family which meant that her design was both beautiful and functional. She was flexible throughout and questioned / challenged us to think about our choices in more depth which was much appreciated. The result is a stunning, useful and functional space that will work for us now and in the future. Many thanks Raine!

Raine has totally transformed our garden. She redesigned the front of the house with a new drive layout, large herbaceous boarders and soft planting - it is now far more attractive and really softens our house. At the back she redesigned our whole pool area and has transported us to somewhere in Italy! We now have olive trees and beautiful Mediterranean planting flanking the pool along with fabulous old pots. Against the house the planting is more ‘English country garden’ with a gentle soft colour palate...all so cleverly thought out and providing us with colour through the whole summer. We

Raine designed a stunning garden for one of our properties in Berlin. Our requirements were not only met but exceeded. She is very creative and suggested elements we even had not thought of. The garden design was not only innovative and beautifully laid out but also easy to maintain. Raine is very customer focused, reliable and with amazing attention to detail. The garden was completely to time and to budget. I would have no hesitation recommending Raine extremely warmly.
