Karen Rogers at KR Garden Design

Karen has worked on various landscape projects with us both private and commercial. In the commercial projects, Karen was able to use her design skills to create enjoyable garden spaces and keep within the budget. In our own garden, Karen was able to design an elegant space that is both private and screened from neighbouring properties. Karen's excellent knowledge of plants and her creative design skills have resulted in a beautiful gardens that is a joy to sit in and admired by everyone. During the planning process, we met regularly to discuss our design brief and vision and Karen listens carefully and is able to interpret our brief brilliantly. I would have no hesitation in recommending her or working with her again on future projects.

I am delighted with the garden Karen has created for my home in Chiswick. It is exactly what I wanted and more. Karen's excellent knowledge of plants and her creative design skills have resulted in a beautiful, tranquil space that is admired by everyone. In the planning stages we met regularly to discuss planting and design ideas and she listened very carefully to my own "vision" of what the garden should look like. The garden is now complete, but Karen is great at popping in if she is in the area, just to see how things are progressing. Karen worked extremely well with the landscapers and also with my builders who were on site at the time. It was a bit of a juggling act! I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen, or working with her again!

I am absolutely thrilled with my new garden - I adore everything about it. Karen listened very carefully to what we said we wanted and then elevated our ideas to a level that we would not have had the imagination to conceive. She had many issues to deal with, including quite complicated levelling and she seamlessly incorporated all the elements to make it look simple and yet complex. She did a brilliant job of both the hard and soft landscaping and chose perfect plants for me. She has also kept in touch and keeps popping over to offer advice and further help with pruning and maintenance. Karen is a joy to work with, thoroughly professional and yet very relaxed and accommodating. When we decided half way through to add a hot tub (which had the potential to spoil her layout) she took it in her stride and accommodated us with no fuss at all. It's obvious that she cares deeply about the jobs she does, and the clients she works with and I recommend her without hesitation.

I hired Karen Rogers to design my garden on the recommendation of my architects when I was building a new house on a 5 acre site in the woods in Hampshire. It was a complicated and difficult assignment on a steeply sloping and shady site which needed to take account of the existing woodland environment. Karen really came up trumps - not only with a lovely design which fitted perfectly with the environment, but also dealing calmly with all the complications of a demanding client and building and landscape contractors who kept her on her toes at all times! My garden has since been described by one leading garden designer as 'one of the best new gardens' she has seen. Karen has succeeded in combining exciting and innovative planting with the demands of a difficult site requiring technical horticultural and knowledge and experience, landscaping skills and ability to adapt to local conditions. The design included large planting areas, extensive terraces and steps, new lawns, a pergola, driveways and much more. The job was a challenge which Karen rose to magnificently.

I have worked with Karen on a number of projects over the past 5 years. She has the personality to put the clients at ease and the landscaping knowledge to assure them that the designs are functional, interesting and both horticulturally and structurally sound. We have worked together on a range of designs from contemporary through to cottage garden, and they have all blended seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. I would have no hesitation in recommending her or working with her again on future projects.

Karen provided a complete service from initial plans to overseeing the landscaping and planting. The work was delivered to time and budget and the garden met all expectations in terms of style and maintenance. The plant selection also allowed waves of colour throughout the year.

Our designer Karen was fabulous. She was full of wonderful ideas. Her design drawings were fab too. Karen was always receptive to suggestions and changes by us. We found her to be wholly reliable and her contacts were excellent. We love our garden.

KR garden design took my thoughts and made them a reality. Simple form, beautiful materials, great advice and vision. Karen also put the job out to tender and was on top of the landscapers making the whole process hassle free. I can't recommend enough

Karen, the designer at KR Designs turned my small unpromising London Garden from an unappealing 'car park' into a beautiful courtyard sanctuary. It involved a lot of structural work with new London stock bricks and paving. The work was carried out without a hitch and completed on schedule and her ideas and input transformed the space. Her horticultural knowledge is impressive and her plant selection was perfect. I would recommend her company to anyone.
