"You designed our garden just over 14 years ago. It is still going strong (minus an ash tree). Just thought I'd get in touch and tell you how well and valued the garden is. We rent out the cottage and so many have enjoyed the garden and also tell us how peaceful it is. Thank you."
Ann, Alnwick
Loved by previous clients
"This is exactly what we wanted. It follows the brief; it's exciting, modern and fun. We can visualise the grandchildren running around the paths and getting lost. As novices we have found Sophia's knowledge of suppliers and materials particularly valuable. We have really enjoyed meeting and working with Sophia."
Maggie, Berwick
"Sophia really understood me and made a special garden for me. I regard her as a friend now and know if I ever have any questions about the garden, I can just pick up the phone."
Ann, Hebburn
