Melanie Jackson Garden Design & Maintenance - Bath

Kate B.

Melanie has transformed 2 gardens for us including a recent project from scratch. Her amazing vision has given us a garden that unfolds seamlessly with beautiful colours & interest through the seasons. Listening carefully to our quite specific wishes for a self sustaining cottage style garden she achieved just that for us.

She worked with us on the overall design of the garden connecting us with a great hard landscaper. The whole project flowed well from start to finish. Melanie is extremely reliable, communicates effectively and can provide invaluable post project support. We would have no hesitation in recommending Melanie for any garden project.

Melanie has visited by daughter in laws new garden and has given her so much information and ideas for the future. Just what was needed. It was best Christmas gift I could have given. Thank you Melanie.

We chose Melanie to design our garden through a recommendation and are so glad we did. From initial consultation through design iterations she listen and responded to our preferences and needs for the space, consulting with us every step of the way.
As a result, our garden has been transformed and we now make much more use of every area. Her plant knowledge is excellent and the garden views from each seating area created offer year-round interest, with the whole space working so much better for our family. She also reused our own plants wherever possible to save with costs.
Melanie recommended landscapers and liaised with them on our behalf before and during the job. She worked hard throughout the process and her aftercare has also been excellent, continuing to offer advice and check on how things are developing.
We have no hesitation in recommending Melanie if you are looking for a talented, knowledgable, honest and hardworking designer for your garden.

We would highly recommend Melanie Jackson Garden Design. Melanie designed a garden for us which was completed spring 2022. The design process took place over several months and required considerable adaptation at one point (due to budget constraints ). Melanie worked with us through all our thought processes and remained positive at all times. Melanie’s close working relationship with local contractors enabled the works to run smoothly from start to finish and on budget. The planting scheme is a joy and we have enjoyed months of successive flowering. Melanie has transformed a sloping unused front lawn garden into a terraced flower and vegetable garden and wild life haven. We are delighted with the results.

From the first consultation, Melanie listened to what I wanted, drew up plans, refined the plans with my input and helped with choosing a builder to do the hard landscaping. This was a big project, one I had been wanting for years. Melanie's design and plant knowledge has created a beautiful, calm, wildlife friendly and secluded garden for me to enjoy. I love it! Melanie included me in all decisions and heard what I was saying. I whole heartedly recommend Melanie to anyone looking to make an impact in their lives through a well designed garden which is centred around their requirements. I can garden but I can't create year round interest, layering and different types of foliage which all comes together seamlessly in Melanie's design. She really has worked wonders and I am so grateful every time I walk through my wonderful garden.

It was a very lucky day when I chanced upon Melanie's website when looking for someone to design a garden from scratch for me at my new home in Temple Cloud. She is very professional whilst at the same time being approachable and friendly and I can certainly vouch for her patience....I have a tendency to change my mind a lot!
I am thrilled with the design she has come up with and the plants she has recommended for the rather windy and exposed site. I am looking forward to seeing it all mature and also I look forward to working with Melanie again on stage 2 of the overall garden plan.
I have no hesitation in recommending Melanie to prospective customers.

I am thrilled with Melanie's design and planting of a large flower bed in my garden and seeing it evolve in the coming months and years will be a pleasure. I knew when I first met with Melanie that she would put my few likes and many dislikes into a design which pleased me - in fact she has far exceeded my expectations. It will be a gorgeous combination of formality and whimsy, utterly perfect. A good listener and a great interpreter of my half-baked ideas, Melanie is professional and approachable and her costs are clear and sensible. The whole process has been fun and interesting for me and I've learnt a lot from Melanie. I'm very much looking forward to Melanie working on a design for the rest of my garden.

Melanie has designed a really well thought our design for a newly landscaped garden for us in Combe Down as well as a design for a new driveway and front garden. She was very professional and creative throughout and is full of ideas to use both planting and hard landscaping shapes to make the spaces much more interesting. She has thought through the planting to make colour appear throughout the summer around the garden and made it a space that we now love to use!
