Paul Johnson Garden Design - Alnwick

Shannon C.

From the very first meeting with Paul and Lucy from Paul Johnson Garden design we felt that they both listened to what we were looking for from our garden; and professionally advised us in a positive way when what we initially asked for wouldn't work in terms of the garden aspect (North facing) and climate in our area.

They have transformed a garden 'wasteland' into an inspirational haven of colour, interest and variety.

We would highly recommend anyone who would like their garden designed and planted to choose Paul Johnson Garden Design. They really care about getting it right for their customers and keeping them informed at all stages of the design.

First class, from a new ‘all grass’ garden to a wonderful colourful garden with sitting places, a hidden work area, a ‘wild’ area, what more can I say. Paul’s choice of planting is brilliant with flowers from spring to naw, September with just the colours we asked for. Paul’s attention to detail is second to none. Could not be more highly recommended

This garden project was a huge undertaking for us but from Paul’s first visit to completion he was on board with our ideas and designed a garden to incorporate everything we wanted.
His attention to detail with materials and planting is meticulous. Communication was excellent at every stage. When work began the project management ran smoothly and his landscaping team were skilled, professional and considerate. Paul took great care with the planting, everything is beautiful. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone wanting a creative designer and inspiration for their outside space.

Paul designed and planted a fabulous front garden for our home. Can’t recommend him highly enough. Has a great knowledge of plants and how to position them for best effect.

Hiring a designer to transform your garden is a significant undertaking, but now we sit here looking out at our beautiful oasis and thank our lucky stars that we contacted Paul for ideas. He treated our garden like his own, and put all of his experience into transforming what was a very plain and boring 'new house' plot into the stuff of dreams. Everything was perfect. From the initial meeting where social distancing guidelines were respected, through to the extra hours and days he put in, in his own time, to ensure he delivered the best possible result.

Paul was ably supported by Lucy who handled all the ordering, logistics, and communicated with us regularly with updates, and managed to grapple with all the supply-chain problems that exist right now post-Brexit, post-lockdown.

We found it remarkable that Paul would lay out the garden plants in their pots and walk back and forth assessing, adjusting, and bidding for perfection with their placement. I've said it before, but again, the attention to detail was astonishing. The way the planting holes were prepared, the instructions given to contractors, his insistence that he was on site to check the quality of contractor deliveries, the detailed after-care diagrams and instructions, and simply the breadth of ideas that went into the garden from the 'briefest of briefs'.

On the back of the front garden result, we are hoping to re-engage Paul earlier than planned to transform our back garden. Our only fear is that he will be more and more difficult to book as people see our result.

Paul designed a lovely outdoor space for us, transforming our garden into something beautiful, yet practical. We are delighted with the results and he has been professional, prompt and reliable throughout the process. He has some great ideas and has helped us to make informed decisions along the way. We would thoroughly recommend him to others who are searching for a garden designer with vision and aptitude. He's been a very good find!

Paul has kindly given me advice for the development of my own garden but he has created a full design and remodel of my parents new garden. He took into account their needs, wants and budget and came up with an idea that they were extremely pleased with. His ideas were unique and his thinking out of the box. He turned a small sloped area into a usable and beautiful space. Thanks Paul!

Good communication throughout. Paul came up with a fabulous design for our garden even though the garden isn't particularly big. We will be returning to use Paul's expertise when we get to the planting stage of our garden.
Would recommend.
