In May 2025, whilst wishing to sell our property in England, I had a dream. I dreamt that I would have a beautiful garden. I dreamt that probably Charlie Dimmock would come along and sort us out with a waive of her wand and her Garden Rescue team!<br>However, I hadn’t discovered Lisa Lempsick. I logged onto her website and there they were, all the gardens she had done were just like my dream! We contacted her and when we finally bought a house, six months later, we asked her to come and make my dream come true and she did. It’s early days yet and we’ve had lots of wind and plenty of sun and rain and the garden is coming to life. I can’t thank you enough Lisa. Your positive attitude, your professionalism and your charming manner made everything so easy. Our garden is quite perfect - Sorry Charlie, this garden is really the winner!
I can not praise Lisa too highly. She designed and oversaw the creation of our roof garden to the highest standard. Our warmest congratulations and thanks to her and her colleagues for a great achievement. To say thank you seems totally inadequate.<br>Dr Eric Hall
We wanted a major re-design of our back garden, subdivided into two projects, and chose Lisa to carry out the design in both cases. From the outset, Lisa showed great enthusiasm and was very much focussed on listening to and ensuring her understanding of our requirements, both at a conceptual and more detailed level so that we could readily agree a way forward. She then employed her extensive experience and technical knowledge, combined with her understanding of the characteristics of the garden from her initial site visits, to create a design on paper which was then discussed in full before being signed off. We felt that the designs and proposals were very much tailored to what we were seeking.<br>Lisa was also able to recommend companies with the appropriate skills to undertake the hard landscaping involved. We were very confident in her ability to oversee this work and intercede on our behalf, if appropriate, to ensure that matters proceeded smoothly and in line with our expectations. Lisa also created a planting plan after discussions on colours and types of plant, and finally, arranged the buying, delivery and planting of the plants.<br>In conclusion, we have been very pleased with the re-design of our garden and are now at the stage of enjoying watching the plants establishing themselves.<br>We have no hesitation in recommending Lisa to anyone wishing to carry out a re-design of their own garden.
Lisa has just finished designing, building and planting our very neglected and shambolic back garden. She very quickly made an initial appointment with us, gathered our thoughts on what we were looking for and came back with a brilliant design. The building contractors she works with were great - they carried out the work sooner and quicker than expected. When Lisa came back with a planting plan, she was very patient with our various demands around colour schemes, types of plants, heights of plants, plants that are non-toxic to cats... and answered all our questions and offered advice for how to care for our new garden.<br><br>I would highly recommend Lisa - she carried out the work with great care and patience and with minimal disruption to us (which was very important as we work from home!) She took care of everything - from consultation to design, to liaising with workers, to sorting out plant delivery, a true full service! I would highly recommend Lisa Lempsink Garden Design!
Lisa is a true professional in every aspect of her business. She established our brief very quickly as we were fairly specific in our thoughts. That being said Lisa helped us to consider various options and gave sound advice re plant choices and colours. She worked with us throughout the project and recommended an excellent landscape contractor. We would have no hesitation in using Lisa’s services again.
Lisa is weaving her magic into my rather dull and green town garden. Her suggestions are sympathetic to the old stone walls and the layout of a New Town north-facing position, and she understands intuitively not only what to plant where, but equally what kind of garden would appeal to us as a family. Her workmanship is outstanding and I cannot recommend her highly enough.<br>I am looking forward to spring when the blossoms and flowers are beginning to emerge and will contact her in the near future for more exciting planting proposals.
We wanted our neglected back garden transformed into a modern contemporary space for relaxing and socialising. Lisa carefully listened to my long wish list and came up with a fabulous design exceeding our expectations. She arranged friendly contractors to do the landscaping and electrical work, all of which was carried out to a very high standard.<br>Lisa was a pleasure to deal with and it's obvious she loves her job. Very knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic throughout, we would highly recommend Lisa.
Excellent customer service! Thank you
Lisa designed a radical reworking of our front garden. This was a big design and Lisa spent a lot of time with us working out what we liked and didnt like and how to account for that in the final design. We found her very receptive and she listened carefully to our views<br>Dave (Dunn) contracted to do the work and both he and Lisa met with us before everything was finally agreed.<br>The design is very impressive and Dave and his team did a great job in creating it. Dave is a real pleasure to work with, delivers to a very high standard and is a gentleman as well.<br>We are very pleased with the final result. There was one glitch in that the existing monoblock couldnt be matched and we had to replace the drive with stone chips but in the event this suited the design much better.<br>I would recommend both Lisa and Dave for garden design and implementation.
Lisa designed us a front garden. She did a fantastic job! She really listened to our expectation and concerned.We wanted a garden that would provide some privacy but wouldn't totally block the wonderful view we have in front of our place. I didn't think it would be possible, but Lisa managed to came out a great idea that made it just right! Moreover, She discuss about the budget openly which is very helpful for us. Lisa and her team work sufficiently. Her design is beautiful and practical. Our new garden looks pretty and unique. My son love stay in the garden and always refuses to leave.
