Robert Hughes Garden Design

Reviews

We used Rob as our designer and project manager to build a garden for us in the new property we moved into. From start to finish he was excellent and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Great ideas, listened to what we wanted, liaised very professionally with the builders. We also asked him for a plant plan and planting service and this was terrific. I would be very happy to talk to anyone about the work Rob carried out for us. Tim Mcgarry.

I highly recommend Rob and his team if you are considering a garden redesign.  His ideas are amazing .  The 'midnight party garden' pictures on here are ours.  Still amazed at how good it looks. Has also just finished the redesign on our front garden (Feb 2015) which we are also very impressed with. Rob, Will and Mark are very friendly, professional and talented. Just a shame we have run out of anymore land for them to do :).

I cannot recommend Rob enough, his attention to detail, organisation, creativity, guidance and all round professionalism were second to none and the design he came up with for our garden absolutely blew us away. He also put us in touch with the best contractors who were tried and trusted by him and dealt directly with them and all suppliers to support us during the build. We are beyond delighted with the result which exceeded all our expectations and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

We're so pleased we found Rob, without him we would never have been able to create such a wonderful garden. He listened carefully to our brief and reflected those ideas into our garden design but importantly he also introduced us to new ideas and concepts based upon his experience, knowledge and creativity. Thanks Rob!

Rob is without doubt fantastic at his job! He has created an amazing garden for our family. He listened to our vague ideas and delivered some beautiful designs. As with all designs, we made some minor alterations along the way and he was happy to tweak things until it was right. His planting plan was also beautiful and we can’t wait for it all to bloom in the spring! We took his advice with choice of landscaper (Rob W) who was also brill. Their attention to detail was very reassuring. We love the finished garden. Thanks again Rob!

I first met Rob in what I can only describe as an interview (from Rob to me) in front of the blank canvas which was my back garden. I explained what the garden would be used for kids (so had to be low maintenance, robust etc), and big kids alike to enjoy. Rob went away and drew exactly what I described, and then translated that into the real thing. We were and still are shocked at the talent of this man and his builders (Rob W). Absolute 5* all around. Thank you,

Right from our first meeting in 2018 we knew we had found the right designer for us. Rob is friendly, easy to talk to, and an extremely talented and creative designer. He produced a variety of designs and images for our garden, and there was no end to his ideas! The attention to detail, level of work and thought he puts into the design process and detailed drawings is incredible. Rob remained enthusiastic and committed to the project throughout and our garden has finally become an area we can all enjoy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, or work with him again.

Rob has a gift for design and interpreted what we were looking for, combined with his own ideas and came up with three options. We were very happy with the chosen design and very satisfied with the quality of the drawings and Robs efforts to fulfil our brief. Robs suggested contractor did a fantatsic job in building the design. We are delighted with our completed garden.

Rob’s vision, knowledge and experience allowed us to transform our garden and driveway into beautiful and contemporary outdoor spaces. Rob has done an amazing job and we feel very fortunate that Rob helped us to create our dream garden. We know from our own initial research and experience, he’s an expert in his field. From the initial discussions and drawings to the final structural design, Rob provided invaluable guidance on both practical and affordable solutions for materials, planting, lighting and layout. He also designed our stunning garden room which has maximised our useable space, complementing the rest of the garden and house. We’re also very pleased that we used Rob’s project monitoring service, which we felt was just as important as the design work. Rob’s presence throughout and attention to detail ensured that the landscaping work went smoothly, taking away any of the stress we may have had otherwise. Rob was a pleasure to work with and he’s a thoroughly nice and trustworthy chap. If Rob can fit you in, you needn’t look further. Mark and Andrea Bird

We are so pleased to have chosen Robert Hughes Garden Design (Cheshire) to design and oversee a transformation of our side garden. The difficult challenge in our case was to achieve a quality split level contemporary design on an awkward shaped site. Rob's design not only met our brief 100% but thereafter, with various minor amendments, continued to surpass it. Apart from his exceptional design skills and friendly personality, Rob also has the benefit of past 'hands on' practical experience, and this really showed in his project management and our discussions on fine detail. Through Rob we had also gained the services of an excellent contractor. The end result is a beautiful garden which has hugely improved the enjoyment of our home and which friends and visitors often simply describe as 'stunning'. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

We didn't really know what we wanted but Rob took his time to get to know how we would use the space and came up with several options for us. He was so helpful throughout the process and was on hand right the way through the construction and planting of our garden. We are so pleased with our garden and found the whole process made easier due to the service and friendly professionalism received from Rob.

I Know Rob and how he works very well . We were partners for 6 years in Cardiff before he put down the tools and pursued his dream of moving closer to family and becoming a dedicated garden designer . The attention to detail and care he affords all his projects , whatever style , however grand or simple is exceptional and second to none. He takes so much pride in his work that the only outcome acceptable for him is the best outcome when it comes to landscape installation. And this is a very important attribute that Rob possesses ,in that he knows the ropes when it comes to installation and he will insist on all aspects of an installation being done properly if he is project managing. My business was arguably one of the best landscaping companies in Cardiff back when Rob came on board , the reason he said he wanted to be part of it , but theres no doubt that Rob has left the company in a better position with regards to its portfolio and reputation due to his influence during his years with us.

Rob has designed the most beautiful Japanese style garden for us. He’s been great, very friendly and helpful and I would recommend him to anyone. He has altered the plans once or twice for us, as we changed our minds about a couple of things, but he has been very understanding, nothing is too much trouble. We’ve not felt able to start the garden this year, but next year is our time to shine - and I’m sure Rob will be around to ensure it all goes according to plan. As my mum would say, “what a nice young man”.

I cannot recommend Robert Hughes Garden Design enough. He did a fantastic job from start to finish and went above and beyond my expectations, my only regret is I can only give him 5 stars. I will be definitely using your services again.
