Rob Howard Garden Design

I found Rob on line when I moved to The Cotswolds. He responded quickly and we started work in no time. He listened to my wish list" and from there came up with a plan. My small garden renovation required a huge amount of work but it all came together with the Landscapers who Rob liaised with and oversaw the project. For it's first year

In July 2022 we went on holiday for 10 days. There was a heat wave and when we came home our garden was dead. It was an opportunity however to create something. We met with Rob and he put a design together to give us as much round the year colour as possible. Everything was cleared, remulched and planted according to his plan. That was October 2022. We waited. By Spring we had a sea of colour that continued through the summer and into the Autumn. I cannot recommend Rob highly enough to anyone looking to do a garden makeover.

Rob is friendly and knowledgeable and designed a large and pretty complex scheme for our garden, delivered in 2019. This has matured beautifully and we are delighted with the result

We moved into a new build during the lockdown and stared at an empty back garden mud pit for months. After meeting with several people, we decided on Rob. He took our ideas, which were many, and created a beautiful two tiered garden with many ‘rooms’ and many amenities. He helped us source wonderful landscaping, electric and plumbing people to bring the design to life and has even checked in on occasion to see how everything is going and answer random questions. He took great care in creating something we wanted and was also easy and friendly to work with. We absolutely love looking out or windows now and spending as much time as possible in the garden. A complete triumph! Would hire him back in a heartbeat.

Rob designed our garden in north Herefordshire 5 years ago. We were delighted with his design and the garden has matured into a space we love and cherish. Our garden was not a blank canvas but Rob managed to use stone walls and brick borders to give the garden structure and to create different areas for sitting, eating, and chilling. He used the existing spaces very imaginatively.More recently, he has advised on a pond and water feature. Again, we are delighted with the finished product - it gives us pleasure every day

When I recently bought my 17th century house, I also acquired a jungle of a garden that had evidently not had any attention for many years. Although not a huge plot (10m x 20m), I wanted to create an outdoor space which was both a place to relax and entertain, whilst remaining pleasing to the eye. Rob’s website suggested that he had the skills and experience that I could use to develop my own particular ideas. Rob was very quick to respond to my initial enquiry and he visited me just a couple of days later. After a number of meetings, we came up with a plan that enabled me to realise my ideas. Rob’s practical knowledge allowed me to put theory into practice. Rob recommended excellent contractors and gave some first-rate advice. I am totally satisfied with the final outcome and would highly recommend Rob.

Rob completed a wonderful garden design for my mum and we therefore decided to ask him to look at our plot. He came out to meet us on site and listened to our vague thoughts and preferences. He had super ideas which he chatted through in person before going away to put drawings together. We wanted some slight alterations and he was very happy to accommodate. He worked quickly and was very open about costs and timescales. We now have a lovely new garden thanks to Rob.

I would definitely recommend Rob. His design followed my brief and is delightful.
