Paul Baines MSGD Garden Designer - Frinton-on-Sea

Richard Priest

Paul visited our overgrown plot 2 years ago.i knew Paul from occasional Hellos at church..I asked around the locals about his credentials. All the feedback was so positive.

Paul and I then began a journey the garden was plotted and measured and we spent hours talking over what we loved about green spaces. Paul created mood boards of flowers and planting concepts for us which we needed as novices
All variables were considered, soil type, sunshine and shade, drought resistance, robustness of plants and colour as well as design.
Paul provided scale plans including lighting plans ponds, wild flower areas and more formal spaces.

We now have a beautiful and varied garden with spaces that work throughout the day.

We have given Paul permission to post pics on his website under the garden name Trotters

Paul is an experienced and diligent partner who is truly emotionally and personally invested in the client and garden

I rarely write reviews. Shen I do it's to the most appalling, or the very best.

Paul is the very best!

Paul worked very closely with us to design a garden that suited the site and our needs perfectly. We went through a thorough process and he guided us to ensure that we understood our options and the benefits or dis-benefits of doing certain things. Paul has an eye for detail and a professionalism that I would recommend to anyone seeking a garden designer. Paul, thank you for your time and patience which has delivered us the garden we so desired.

Paul was recommended by a friend, and was an excellent contact from the very first meeting. He listened to what we were aiming for, came up with an idea, measured up and put it on a plan, asked for our ideas for plants, added some of his own and introduced us to his landscaping team. They were wonderful to work with and nothing was too much trouble including moving a greenhouse and a shed to new sites with electric and water connections. We modified a couple of things during the work carried out and we have been left with exactly what we wanted. Just want it to be Spring now so it all starts growing. Highly recommended!

Paul’s design for our garden was just right. We really enjoyed working with Paul. He came up with great ideas that we had not thought of and executed them in a well considered brilliantly detailed design. Paul was always there when we needed him during the design and build of the project. It’s a year on and the plants are working so well together.

We worked with Paul on a complete redesign of our front garden. The whole process from initial consultation through to the planting plan was conducted in a relaxed, professional manner. Paul listened to our ideas and priorities, added his expertise and developed a vibrant, colourful garden which is sympathetic to the climate. He also introduced a high quality contractor who carried out the hard and soft landscaping.

A rewarding and enjoyable project from start to finish.

Paul has completely re-designed our entire garden. It has been an absolute pleasure working with not only Paul but also his planting team. Paul understood our wishes for what sort of garden we wanted to achieve and his calm understanding was most appreciated.

Our journey through this project has been nothing but a pleasure and we are now enjoying a beautiful product of Paul's excellent imagination.

I would recommend Paul to anyone wishing to enhance their garden space.
