I commissioned Judy last year to create a design for my front and rear gardens. The brief involved a relaxed cottage style with contemporary elements including an outdoor kitchen and pond with waterfall. Working with a fabulous landscaping team that she recommended I am now the proud custodian of a fabulous garden space that has been life changing. The end of the project was in the autumn - at this time the beauty of the landscaping (particularly the paddlestone walling she designed) already made the space a delight whilst we waited for the plants to establish themselves. I sadly lost my mother at this time and the garden was an immediate sanctum of calm and retreat - and still continues to be. Throughout the winter I continued to use the space (particularly for outdoor cooking). The level of detailing with the paving/patio design paid off here - surface water just is not a problem thanks to the attention to drainage detail. Into the spring the garden started to erupt with waves of glorious planting combinations. Long after the project has been completed, we are in regular contact to discuss plants and potential new combinations. Judy has a bonkers brain (in a nice way) - genius with landscaping details (so important for the landscaper), a fabulous eye for planting combinations and superb horticultural knowledge. She can leap from thought to thought during discussions and does need to be re-focused on the topic at hand sometimes (!!!)...but this is part of the charm of working with her! I would not hesitate in recommending Judy with 5 stars - I feel we have not only created a stunning garden together, but will continue to share in the evolution of the space.

I cannot believe how wonderful my new garden is. It was planned and executed with meticulous detail with the help of expert craftsmen who take pride in what they do. The planting is just beautiful. I felt no need to go to Chelsea Flower Show this year! Thank you so much, Judy. I still can’t believe it’s my garden!

Judy transformed our ordinary garden into something magical that perfectly suits our home's style! She created wonderful spaces for us and our 3 boys, with beautiful plants and trees that make everything more functional and inviting. We're outside constantly now! From design through spring implementation, Judy was fantastic – and still helps with our gardening questions. Her eye for detail and knowledge delivered such incredible value that we would've happily paid much more. If you're considering Judy, don't hesitate for a second – you'll be amazed at what she can do!

Judy did a fantastic job in designing a front garden for us and project managing the work. The result is an easy to maintain, yet colourful and vibrant area that we are very pleased with.

In 15 years working with garden designers Judy is my far the best I’ve ever worked with.

Judy designed our garden for us. It is just finished and has surpassed our expectations. Judy has been brilliant throughout - she has taken onboard our needs, communicated very clearly and really looked after us. I have been particularly impressed with her attention to detail and support once the plants arrived on site - something she has continued to provide notwithstanding works are now complete. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her

I am so delighted with Judy's work on my garden. It was even better than I had envisaged and would highly recommend her.

Judy Shardlow and her team have done such a great job at the Wheathampstead Crinkle Crankle Garden. The planting design is perfect and has created a very serene peaceful place. The planting is stunning. Beautiful choice of roses, Iris, Alliums, Hydrangea and grasses etc.... Love the hellebores on the pagoda pathway in. The boules court is such a great idea to bring the community together. And she has regularly helped maintain her design. Nothing has been too much trouble for her. Im definitely going to use her to design my garden!
