I’m so pleased with my garden design and landscaping done by the Essex Garden Co. The initial garden designs were thoughtful and appealing and once I settled on a design everything continued to run really smoothly. The whole team were great and everything was done to a really high standard. Alex and Ben were easy to work with, really responsive and kept me informed at all stages. They’re a great company to work with and I’d definitely recommend them.

I got a great impression from my very first meeting with Alex, she understood what we wanted to achieve and I could see the passion that she has for her work. I knew then, that our garden would be in safe hands with The Essex Garden Company and I was right. From the offset, the team were incredibly accommodating, initially coming to see us at very short notice and then, coming to our house for numerous design meetings on Sundays, as that was the only day that worked for both myself and my Husband. Sharon, their lovely and very talented designer, made additional visits, to go over measurements and ensure that everything was just right. I continued to be impressed once work began. Ben, Will, Nick and the whole team were professional, hardworking and the craftsmanship on a particularly tricky build was second to none. It wasn’t a straightforward project, an unusual shaped garden with different levels and a curveball of a hidden drain thrown in, yet the team still managed to complete on time, as promised. The electrical side of the project was also impressive. Warren and Dave are the best electricians I have come across. Again, the electrical aspect wasn’t straight forward but Warren dealt with the whole thing impeccably, dealing with UK Power Networks on my behalf and went above and beyond (with the help of the whole team) in removing/replacing a 3 meter high mirror, in order for the works to be completed. I am very detail focused and as such, kept a close eye on works as they evolved. No question or request was too much and Ben was always extremely accommodating and understanding of my need to have everything just so. Alex project managed the whole thing impeccably and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Lines of communication were always open and she was extremely responsive in answering all of my many queries, giving advice on choice of materials, colour decisions, planting, the list goes on. She (and Ben) also dealt with our neighbours directly, who were concerned about various aspects of the project, in an extremely professional way, which was a big weight off of my mind. Our project has recently competed and we are absolutely delighted with the end result. There was previously a lot of unusable space in our garden, the transformation is incredible and we now have a beautiful space that is entirely usable. We can’t thank each and every one of The Essex Garden Company enough, for their tremendous work. A brilliant, cohesive and happy team, it was a pleasure to work with them. Highly recommend.

I can’t recommend the team at The Essex Garden Co. enough! From the initial consultation through to implementation of the build the team were knowledgeable, prompt, considerate and professional. Ben and his team turned up on time every morning and didn’t leave site until the work was completed and Alex project managed everything from start to finish. A truly fabulous experience. Thank you!

We found Ben & Alex after being let down by previous landscapers, not having a calls returned and companies not turning up when they said they would. They definitely were not the cheapest but they were the most reliable, most knowledgeable and most professional. The whole team were a pleasure to work with and have around and the finished result is stunning. Thank you.

London Stone have been working with The Essex Garden Co & Essex Gardens Designs for the last 2 years. During this time, we have found Alex and her team to be highly professional, well organised and very switched on. Alex is constantly striving to keep projects on schedule and to the highest possible standard. The gardens they are creating for their clients are beautiful, well designed and are all tailored to each setting and the brief given to them. The level of finish achieved by Ben & his build team is outstanding, the amount of care and consideration that goes into each garden is really visible for all to see. The quality of the builds has recently been recognised by their acceptance into the Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) which has a very tight vetting process and one of the highest achievements within the Landscaping Industry. We look forward to working with Alex, Ben & their team for many years to come, they are an absolute pleasure to deal with.
