’James is an excellent landscape garden designer, as well as a lovely person, who is easy to work with and completely professional. He understood our brief and presented us with a clear and accurate plan with loads of very useful details. James went above and beyond, making sure we were happy with every plant and area of hard landscaping, and happily now discusses updates, 6 months after the landscaping completed. His attention to detail is superb and he is very keen to make sure we are entirely satisfied with the results. We highly recommend James for any landscape design project.’’

"We enjoyed collaborating with James Smith on a Gold medal award-winning Chelsea Flower Show garden, the London Square Community Garden. Working with James was an absolute delight. His friendly and open approach to discussing and incorporating everyone's vision for the garden made the collaboration very enjoyable. James's expertise and willingness to listen made the entire process seamless. We highly recommend James and his creativity for any external space transformation"

‘’James put together a highly professional presentation that was head and shoulders above the competition. As we had expected, James proved to be extremely well structured in his workflow. He is a busy man but has worked very efficiently with zoom calls and site meetings when necessary. He put together an excellent package for Westminster planning purposes which was approved in its entirety. We have been very happy with his suggestions for soft and hard landscaping and he was also quick to respond to comments and offer alternatives. The journey has been very smooth and I cannot recommend him highly enough.’’

"Peverel Court Care has utilised the services of James Smith on multiple sites and have been nothing short of thrilled with the professionalism, creativity and timeliness of his contribution. James is always willing to engage with other consultants and authorities that may have an interest in any particular project and this is always done productively and constructively. I look forward to working on many more with him and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services."

"James was a pleasure to work with on our project. He took time to understand our brief and the requirements we had for our garden. He factored in existing established trees, colour schemes and budgets to create a garden that perfectly complemented the house. During the garden build and planting he provided continued support to ensure that the garden itself lived up to his design potential. We now have a space that is beautiful, functional and exactly what we wanted."

"Like many homeowners, I had a clear theme in mind for the planting but lacked the know-how to execute the design effectively. My goal was to ensure year-round interest and enchanting night-time illumination, but I needed someone with the skill to bring it all together. Enter James, whose mastery of landscape design transformed my vague ideas into a stunning reality. By incorporating my preferences and selecting the right plants for the area, James crafted a design that not only met but exceeded my expectations. The result speaks for itself. With undulating waves of grasses, trees, and climbers, the garden is a captivating tapestry of colour and texture. I couldn't be more delighted with the outcome and eagerly anticipate watching the garden evolve as the plants mature."

"It was a delight to work with James on the London Square Community Garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2023. He produced a beautiful, memorable garden which encapsulated our vision for the design for a garden to bring people together and provide a focus for meeting up for a chat, share a meal and enjoy a magical green haven. The garden was inspired by the Doddington Estate roof garden in Battersea and James encouraged volunteers at the garden to take part and help build the garden at Chelsea. The execution and delivery of the community theme and attention to detail by James and his team was outstanding and this was reflected by the RHS judges awarding a coveted Gold Medal. Everyone at London Square was thrilled with the result and it was wonderful to have created amazing memories for the Doddington volunteers. The main elements of the Chelsea garden are now being enjoyed by residents at Doddington - thanks to James creating a garden that was able to live on and evolve beyond Chelsea."
