Recommending Simon Orchard Garden Designer

Recommended Posts

I would like to recommend Simon Orchard, who designed my front garden. I got his details via a card through my door, and don't usually use people on the basis of flyers but Simon trained at the same Design School as me so I wanted to help him. And I am so glad I did. The garden is gorgeous (I would also highly recommend Tobyn Burnett and his team for landscaping).

Simon did a couple of drawings for us based on our high level requirements, typically wanting to park a car on the drive but not losing too much garden to drive, and having somewhere for bins, and despite all those urban needs still having a pretty planted garden. What I am most pleased with is the planting. I have no idea about plants but I know what I like and Simon managed to decipher the look I wanted into a selection of plants that are exactly what I had in mind. I spent an afternoon in the summer just sitting on my front step, because I wanted to spend time in my beautiful front garden. Luckily the neighbours joined me so I didn't look completely weird.

I hope this link works - Simon took some lovely photos and out them on Houzz.

I studied Interior Design at KLC School of Design in Chelsea, and Simon obviously did the Garden Design course there.

I would like to recommend Simon Orchard too. We have built a few of Simons designs for his customers. The designs have been very coherent & communication between him, the customer & ourselves has worked well.

He has an eye for detail & his designs have set us interesting challenges & at the same time been a delight to work on & bring delight to ourselves & ourselves.

    • These neighbours dislike trees period. They refused to have lost trees replaced by the Estate on our communal green. They don’t like the leaf and seed droppings. These make the grass look ‘messy’. Similarly, they don’t like my policy of leaving the tree leaves where they lie on the grass verge - hence chopping the overhanging branches. It’s like living in the 1950s. My neighbours have three gardeners with leaf blowers who come twice weekly to remove every leaf from their front lawns. Their grass is cut weekly and all the  cuttings put in multiple brown bins. It’s an outdated mindset of the moneyed classes in my view. But sadly, I’m very much in the minority.
