Bestall & Co Landscape Design

"When we purchased a period property with a fairly large garden that required to be completely updated we contacted Bestall and Co as we had seen our former neighbour's impressive garden project. At our first meeting, prior to the complete renovation of the property, Lee was full of ideas on how we could transform the garden whilst being sympathetic to the house. We had some ideas of what we were looking for but his design brief/plan elevated this to a whole other level. The original plan, layout and video walk through exactly replicates the now completed project. Lee is not only friendly and approachable but massively knowledgeable about all elements of garden design and you also receive his unique advice and vision of your project as a whole. He introduced us to a fantastic hard landscaper who worked tirelessly with his team to bring Lee's design to life. We would highly recommend Lee, Paula and the whole team at Bestall and Co to anyone considering a garden overhaul, revamp or update. We're just into our 2nd year of the garden being completed and we are delighted with the result and the compliments we receive from visitors is testament to that."

"Can not praise Bestall highly enough. I needed a design for my front garden that has some tricky requirements and limitations. From the initial contact with Paula, through to the visit from the surveyor and then the enthusiasm of Lee who had some great ideas, they were all first class and worked with me to give me a design that is still making me smile whenever I walk through the gate. A special shout out to their recommended contractor, Chris, and his team who worked through atrocious weather to turn my garden into something I can be proud of. Can't wait to finish the planting. (As if a garden is ever finished!)"

"I can’t speak highly enough of Lee and his team. Lee is a brilliant designer and came up with some really clever ideas for our garden we would never have thought of. He and his team then brought those to life with an impressive 3D animation that meant we could see exactly what the end result would look like. He then guided us through the design process, helping us choose materials and planting schemes that would enable us to stay within budget and still look great. When the time came for the actual work to be done, the team that came to do it were absolutely brilliant - they worked so hard and you could see they took incredible pride in their work and weren’t happy unless it was perfect. Plus they were lovely guys to have around! We kept Lee involved throughout this process and I’m really glad we did...he was on site every week ensuring the garden was being delivered in the way he envisaged and, when little unexpected obstacles arose, he was able again to help come up with smart solutions and advise the landscapers to ensure it all stayed true to the original vision and, crucially, in budget! Big big thanks to Lee and everyone who worked on the project - we are delighted!"

"Lee and his team were amazing to work with and delivered an incredible garden for us at Chelsea Flower Show. The design fulfilled the brief completely and we loved it so much we brought as much of it as we could back to Covent Garden. I couldn't recommend Bestall & Co. more highly for their aesthetic, professionalism and friendliness in doing a brilliant job."

"We commissioned Bestall & Co to design and build the Experience Peak District & Derbyshire Show Garden for RHS Chatsworth 2017 on behalf of Marketing Peak District & Derbyshire. The concept and finished garden completely fit the brief that we gave them; it was a great pleasure to overhear visitors to our garden at RHS Chatsworth discuss how the formal Italianate garden and the open pasture, complete with metallic cows, was a great representation of the formal gardens of the area's stately homes and the beautiful open landscapes of the Peak District and Derbyshire. Bestall & Co were a delight to work with, bringing passion and enthusiasm to the project."
