What our customers say

What a great service Sarah provided me with. She provided a variety of options and was happy and patient in her discussions with me. The detail and direction on the drawings were great to follow.

James Selwood

I was the owner of Bowood Landscapes and we employed the services of Sarah Plested on numerous projects and she is by far one of the best garden designers around. Crucially she is passionate about what she does and importantly knows what to deliver. Apart from the obvious skilled work she produces, she is great to get on with and has a refreshing no nonsense approach when it comes to working a design and build budget, these are things every Landscape contractor and most importantly client needs to know. Highly recommend Bramley Apple Garden Design, especially if you want the best.

Andy Woodason

Sarah did an amazing design, that really complemented the house and surrounding area. She was on hand throughout the job, making sure the landscapers fulfilled her vision. She was recommended to me by a friend, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who will listen!
