Pavitt Garden Design

Hilary came to mentor me for our garden. She spent over three hours with me in which time she gave me a crash course on the basics of plant names, groups and the life cycle of them. We talked about pruning, composting and lots of other topics and she answered lots of questions I had.Then, we worked in the garden, where she showed me how to plant, remove plants and repot them and told me where is the best place for my plants to thrive. She gave me loads of great advice which made me feel competent and keen about gardening.She clearly has lots of experience and is very passionate about her job. A very interesting lady!I will definitely be asking for her advice again! Thank you, Hilary!

I have used Pavitt Garden Design for a number of years and cannot thank Hilary enough for the professional and personable approach to her work. She is very knowledgeable and uses her expertise to tailor each of her designs to meet the individual needs of her clients. My garden has definitely benefited from the time she has spent in it.

Hilary and her team transformed our large featureless garden into an amazing, liveable outdoor space.From initial drawings to listening to our preferences and making adjsutments, Hilary's knowledge, experience and 'keen eye for detail' makes for a very visonary landscape gardener.The team were invaluable in guiding, suggesting alternatives and patient when I sometimes floundered. That participatory, inclusive approach made me feel very much part of the journey.Professional, timely, considerate, passionate and most importantly working to a high standard is the team's modus operandi.I would highly recommend

After meeting Hillary and explaining what I was trying to create in my garden. She just reeled off various plants that would be suitable, it was like a foreign language to me ;-) as I have very little knowledge of plants. She advised me on which plants to get, how to look after them and how they would be most effective planted in a certain way.Her advice and expertise was invaluable. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future would strongly recommend her.

Our front garden consisted of a driveway that had become too narrow for a modern car, and a vast slabbed area with a few overgrown conifers from the 1970's. We contacted Hilary to help us create a space that would combine a generous driveway and an attractive green area with a garden feel.Hilary came up with a brilliant design, simple yet with clever details that brings it all smoothly together. She was quick to understand our requirements, really good at guiding us through those tricky decisions, and good fun to have around. The garden looks absolutely fantastic, it totally enhances the look of the house and we love it. A triumph.

We are utterly delighted with the garden Hilary created for us. Our messy, uninviting back garden was transformed by Hilary and her marvellous landscaping team into an oasis of calm and beauty. We look forward to enjoying it, seeing the plants grow and the garden mature over the years. Part of the Brief was ‚easy to maintain‘ and that’s what we got too!

Hilary and her colleague were absolutely amazing. We spent about 5 hours in our garden weeding and discovering what plants and flowers lived in our new backyard. Hilary took the time to go through the different plants and what made them unique and how to care for them. We are definitely going to have Hilary back to redesign our space and help us further understand how to care for our outdoor space throughout the seasons. I would definitely recommend Hilary

Great service and expertise. We had our small garden redesigned - Hilary and her team did a great job. She advised on plants which would work well in our difficult (north facing, slug-prone!) garden. Would recommend.

We have some tricky soil and drainage issues and several of our own selections of plants were failing. We are so glad we decided to employ someone with Hilary's expertise and knowledge. Her design and planting are beautiful and all the plants are thriving. Hilary's consultation was so valuable and the work was carried out in the timeframe given and to a high standard. Highly recommended.

Hilary has designed our small garden so beautifully that it gives the illusion of a large garden. She not only designs but sources the plants and gets her hands dirty by planting them too. I can recommend her any time.
