   From conception to the delivery of the final drawings, Andrew has been outstanding. His creativity instantly brought to life what will become our beautiful cottage garden in the South Downs, and he somehow made the whole process feel calm and exciting at the same time. He was incredibly patient, brilliant at problem-solving, and consistently thoughtful, even when our wider building work felt chaotic. Andrew has a creative spirit that???s both inspiring and soothing, and it made such a difference having him in our corner. We especially loved how he embraced the history of our house (once connected to Rowland Emett) and wove that sense of whimsy into the design, including the idea of an ornamental bicycle, cleverly imagined in a way that feels like something Emett himself might have created years ago. I wouldn???t hesitate to recommend Andrew. If you want a garden with soul, story, and real creativity behind it, he???s your person.

   Andrew has done an amazing job - creating a wonderful Mediterranean style garden for me in a city garden near the sea . His planting suggestions were very creative, the Cretan water feature is a true delight, and he was sensitive to my need for a dog friendly design. In addition to his artistic abilities he is also ethical - transparent in his pricing and willing to help me control costs to stick within my budget. Very highly recommended!

   Andrew sent Chris to carry out a winter clearance and tidy up of our front and back gardens over three days. Chris was completely self-sufficient, carried out all the work and more besides and made everything look effortless. He was incredibly good-natured and easy to have around, even removed a huge, concrete-embedded swing frame for us, leaving a lovely open view and a restored lawn. Also created a tree from our old and overgrown wisteria and removed a vicious monkey puzzle tree. Left everything tidy and neat. Looking forward to working with both again on a planned garden redesign and replanting.

   We have now been the proud owners of one of Andrew Staib's Glorious Gardens for one year. The brief was to reshape and replant two large borders in our back garden, keeping the maintenance low and allowing for our very chalky soil and increasingly hot summers. The results over the year have been wonderful and it's been an absolute pleasure watching the garden grow. We now have year round interest with lots of structure and colour. The bulbs are currently pushing through and I look forward to the riot of colour that these will bring whilst being food to our early pollinators. We also asked for our lawn to be replaced and for a sturdy gazebo to be erected. Jobs all exceedingly well done by Andrew's team which were delightful and a pleasure to have around. The garden is a joy. The spring and summer last year were full of newly emerging plants and I have enjoyed the view throughout the winter every bit as much, with there still being much colour and structure. Working with a garden designer is a first for us and whilst not cheap, it has been a most rewarding experience. I can truly say that we do now have a Glorious Garden.

   Great experience working with Andrew and his team. We had a back garden that was described by friends as a dump- Old building materials, rubble etc, etc - Found Glorious Designs on web search and good reviews and nice and local for us. Andrew came round discussed and helped with a design within the budget we had and off we went - Took some hard labour to level the back garden as it sloped and the ground where we are BN1 6LR is chalk, and lots of it - Removed 16tons of rubble/chalk and brought in 8 tons of new top soil and then in 1 day Andrew and his guys planted out, brought in 3 water features ( weighed 90Kg each so very heavy) and finished the job. comms all the way along was 5* and Andrew and his team are such nice guys, friendly and hard working. We are extremely pleased with the result and from our experience i would 100% recommend Andrew. Some pictures of before and after. Plants will fatten out ( probably not the right term) so over time will look fuller. :)
