Selecting the Right Landscape Designer for Your Garden Project

Choosing a landscape designer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when planning to transform your outdoor space. The right designer will understand your vision, work within your budget, and create a garden that’s not only beautiful but functional and sustainable. Whether you’re looking for a modern outdoor entertaining area, a low-maintenance space, or a traditional garden layout, having an experienced professional on board makes all the difference.

What to Look for in a Landscape Designer

  • Experience and Reputation: Look for companies with a strong track record and positive client reviews.
  • Design Capability: A good designer should be able to create custom plans tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
  • Range of Services: Choose a team that can handle everything from design to installation — including patios, artificial grass, driveways, planting, and lighting.
  • Local Knowledge: Designers familiar with your local climate, soil, and surroundings can offer more practical, lasting solutions.
  • Transparency: Clear timelines, detailed quotes, and regular communication are essential for a smooth project.

Andrew Cummings

Andrew is the director of Briarlea and has a number of landscape credentials in his bag. He set the business up 20 plus years ago as a young boy who had a love for plants and design. From a one man van, Andrew has built up the brand that you love and know as Briarlea through sheer hardwork and attention to detail that makes Briarlea the leading Domestic Landscape Business there is on the market today.

Andrew prides himself in his designs and would be best to say he is more the “Traditional” designer. He prefers to simplify designs which in turn are sympathetic to their surroundings.

Complete Peace Of Mind

When you have work done on your outdoor space, it isn’t only the products that you use that need to be of a high standard – but the workmen you trust with completing the job.

When you invest in your home or garden, you choose the best materials you can afford (within budget) to bring your dreams to life. Having made all this effort to select the look and finish you want, isn’t it vital that the people you choose to complete work for you should be of an equally high standard? Untrustworthy ‘cowboy’ workmen are a reality within our industry and can cause significant stress, by making promises they can’t keep and delivering substandard, disappointing work.

Furthermore, issues with a landscaping design or garden project may not present themselves for weeks or even months, by which time the cowboy has disappeared into the sunset with your hard earned cash.

Briarlea are proud to be members of the Marshalls Register of Accredited Landscape Contractors and Driveway Installers which is a list of professional and certified workmen who are continuously  vetted and monitored to assure you of our competence and high standards of workmanship.

The high level of workmanship required means all those on the Register must prove themselves in terms of their costs, the guarantees they offer on work completed and their professional methods.
