Case study
Small Garden Transformation
With the addition of a summer house and circular paving this garden was made to look larger. Turf was removed and a circular set was laid.
The border to the right was raised to make maintenance easier for the client.

What our clients say
4.6 on Google
“From our initial contact with Bella we were dealt with in a very professional and friendly manner. Bella has a vast knowledge of plants and designed our new build garden very thoughtfully. We would highly recommend her.”
“Belle transformed our new blank canvas into a little south facing paradise. Charming, no nonsense advice and creative efficient service. Wholeheartedly recommended.”
“About 4 years ago we asked Bella to help create a low maintenance garden for our new build house. This she and her team did brilliantly, and recently she came back to freshen up some areas of the garden. Really pleased with the results and looking forward to spring and summer in the garden!”
“I found Bella (Belle Gardens) about 3 years ago when I decided I needed help in transforming 2 large areas of grass into a beautiful garden with plenty of year round colour and structure. I knew nothing about plants or soil never having had a garden before and put my complete trust in Bella. Now, 3 years on I have the garden I always wanted which is regularly maintained by Bella who discusses any new planting which may be required. She is an extremely knowledgeable landscape gardener and a joy to work with. I am still a novice, but have learned so much from her. I would recommend her unconditionally to anyone, novice or not. You would be in safe hands!”
