RECENT REVIEWS
Well what a lovely way to start the weekend looking at the final design, it looks great; utilizing all the space so well. Thank you.
LINDA, WARRINGTON 2023
The design work you did was excellent – you were super communicative, listened to what we wanted, came up with a scheme that was appropriate for budget and the design outputs and renders were super useful when bringing things to life. I am also convinced that your detailed measuring and level-taking of the garden was essential to the progress of the work, so we are really grateful for that. Totally recommended.

Thanks for all your hard work, we really like the final design and it’s great to see it in 3D too in order to visualise it.

GRAEME, SALE 2021
We recently asked SDGD to help us with designing and planning some changes to our back garden. Sarah has been great, sharing some excellent ideas and producing professional designs/plans. We would happily recommend.
NEIL, CHEADLE HULME 2021
We approached Sarah to help us with an empty section of our garden. She listened to what we wanted to use the garden for and designed a wonderful plan within budget that is perfect for our home and family use. The detail and helpful advice re sourcing plants has been invaluable and we highly recommend Sarah and her services.
SIOBHAN, SALE 2021
With very few ideas myself, Sarah provided an incredible bespoke ‘garden & plant’ design including a two-tier water feature. The plans included specific ideas for planting and suggestions for which plants & foliage to put in certain areas to take advantage of sun and shaded spots. Those designs were then followed into construction and now I have a garden to be proud and excited about. Thank you so much to Sarah and her amazing ideas and design
CHARLIE, URMSTON 2020
A great assignment with very good presentation skills. “Design Intent” is a phrase used a lot in garden design and refers to the designer ensuring that every aspect of their “vision” is communicated to everyone, including the client and the people responsible for the construction of the design. Your presentations are an excellent example of the detail required to ensure this is carried out.
