“We had a great experience working with Guy for a garden consultation. He really took the time to understand the different 'zones' of our space, coming up with some brilliant and creative ideas from transforming a shady entrance into a functional patio to envisioning a 'wild woodland' retreat near our studio.

Guy has a fantastic eye for detail, especially when it comes to suggesting materials that complement existing structures. He provided us with a really thoughtful, comprehensive summary pack that has given us plenty of inspiration for the future. If you're looking for a designer who listens well and offers practical yet imaginative solutions, we’d highly recommend him."
