Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Ripley, Derbyshire, UK

“Dominic Stone of Bottle Kiln Design first provided a garden design and install contract at my previous property Old Engine Farm, Ashover Derbyshire in the early 1980's. I moved to Derry House, Matlock in 1997. I again sought Dominic out to provide a complete garden design and install, first in the late 1990's and again a more recently to refresh the original scheme with new paving to rear areas and to pave the original tarmac drive plus to lay significant surface water drainage channels and pipes. The experience I have of Dominic and his company is beyond excellent in terms of design expertise, product knowledge, installation skill, prompt work scheduling and commitment to his customer. His pricing has always been in my view realistic. In terms of his personal integrity, from the considerable experience I have had over a prolonged period of time it is beyond question, one hundred percent reliable.”

“Butler Landscapes completed a landscape project (building a terraced area, pathways and driveways, two raised beds as well as a small amount of planting) in our suburban garden in the summer of 2016. We had plans for a garden design drawn up before meeting Sharon and Paul - but these needed modifying in order to keep the project within the budget. Paul was very helpful in suggesting the elements of re-design that would keep the price down to what we could afford, and having giving us a price he stuck to it for the entirety of the work - no hidden extras, no last minute requests for extra money. Compared to past experiences it was an absolute joy! I felt that both Sharon and Paul listened to what we wanted, and didn't try and persuade us to have a design or style that we were not comfortable with, but did suggest modifications that would improve on the the practicalities or look of the design - and we were very happy with these suggestions. The work itself was completed to a very high standard, the men working on the project worked hard and felt trustworthy, which was important to me as I was out at work for much of the time. The work did take longer to complete than initially anticipated, but this was largely due to the weather - which was not under Butler Landscapes' control. Paul ensured that all the loose ends were tied up before he asked for the final payment, coming back to the site a couple of times to ensure that all the last bits and pieces of work were finished. We are delighted with the end result and looking forward to enjoying it properly after the winter.”

“Robert redesigned the whole of our garden. He took time to understand what we wanted then provided us with a number of a different options so that we can articulate what best suited our requirements. The plot is not a straightforward plot and required creativity of design. After the design was crystallising he then helped us select the right contractor to deliver the scheme. The works were extensive and we were very pleased with the outcome at the time and continue to be so as time has pased and the garden has matured and evolved. Additionally, Robert is really eay to get on with and does not impose his ideas but, instead, works with you to realise your own. Colleagues of mine have also used Robert's services. The end result looks completely different from our garden so it is clear that Robert does provide all his clients with an unique and bespoke service.”

“Highly recommend APT. Superb design service that evolves and gave us everything we requested and more. Matt and the team are great.”

“My husband and I cannot praise Rob and his team high enough. The pictures on this website of the 'Barry garden' are ours. He has since also redesigned our front garden which is also absolutely gorgeous. Extremely friendly, reliable and trustworthy (we left them to do the front with keys to our house whilst on holiday). Thanks Rob, Will and Mark.”

“Lynn has been excellent planning and designing our garden. She listened to our requests and came up with a design that suits us perfectly. Lynn is very approachable and friendly, yet professional and replies promptly to emails and messages.”

“They resurfaced our courtyard, taking up the old Tarmac and laying a modern, but traditional looking cobble stone. Excellent job, Lads very polite and worked incredible hours! Highly recommended!”

“We were bored with our square garden and had some ideas of how to make it more interesting but we needed someone to put them together in a coherent way. Sue more than lived up to our design expectations and was a great pleasure to work with. She listened well to our ideas and managed to incorporate all the features we wanted in a truly beautiful design. Now it is a really interesting garden with different views from different angles. There is a pleasure in walking round it via the new paths and it is lovely and green with a great structure I can build on over the years to come. A fantastically positive and collaborative experience.”

“Sophie has a rare talent for taking a boring space an making it into something truly wonderful. My front garden, which was a rectangle of bare earth is now a tropical oasis with lush palms, ferns, colourful heucheras and swaying grasses. We often receive compliments from passers by and visitors and it is known in my street as “mini Kew Gardens”. We absolutely love what Sophie has designed for us and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants to transform even then smallest garden space in to their own corner of paradise.”
