We worked with Katerina on the design of our back garden following an extensive house renovation and are absolutely delighted with the results. Katerina listened to our brief to connect our kitchen with the gazebo that we had already installed at the rear of the garden so the spaces flowed. We wanted a low maintenance garden with a slightly (but not overly “themed”) tropical feel to it and a good sized entertaining space near the kitchen with in-built seating. We’re thrilled that we got everything we asked for and an overall effect that surpassed the high expectations we had for the garden. We also used Katerina to project manage the landscaping and planting for us which I highly recommend if, like us, you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing and/or little time to get involved in the details as these are so important to get it right.

Honestly the words do not exist to express how happy we are with the garden design that Katerina did for us at our Central London property. She was professional, listened to what we wanted, incredibly responsive, personable and someone that we really enjoyed working with throughout the project. She delivers the level of customer service that you want on garden transformations: she was incredibly hands-on and engaged with us throughout the project to ensure that we were happy with what was being delivered. She is a class act and we would recommend her to anyone looking for something 'more than ordinary' which you get with so many garden designers. She is exceptional in every way.

The work done on the garden is absolutely amazing, you can see the amount of error put into it and how long it took. Great job Katerina!

Kat has transformed our garden from a wasteland left behind by uncaring builders into a place we are once again happy to sit and relax in.Like many people I like a visit to the garden centre and tend to buy a plant or three I like, then they don’t do so well and it starts again. Not wanting to do this on a large scale, we asked Kat to help us with a plan. Kat came to see the garden (in the rain) then provided us with a full plan with 3d renders of what we could expect and I’m happy to say the reality has more than lived up to the visuals.We live in outer London and know the soil is fairly grim, Kat suggested it was all removed and replaced with new topsoil. The idea filled me with dread - more labourers wrecking our space (not a job I could do myself without having a physio on standby) but the reality was totally different - Kat organised labourers and was on hand to supervise and even hose the paths down afterward… the manual work was handled with total care and respect which, after months of builders invading our space was thoroughly appreciated.We had about 2 weeks of bare borders then a large van delivered 100 or so plants and a couple of small trees. A couple of hours later Kat (and her partner) was busy planting them so by lunchtime we had our garden!I have no problem recommending Kat and really couldn’t criticise any element at all, even in the slightest.

Katerina did a fabulous job designing and then transforming my garden. I have a smallish terrace garden, which was in a real mess. It’s now a beautiful space for me to share with my daughters, with an arbor to sit it, a dining table and a pond. It meets all our needs, was very professionally delivered, and has lots of lovely touches, like plants that are special to me. I highly recommend Katerina!

Katerina designed our garden project and was a pleasure to work with. We weren't sure what we wanted, but she guided us through the options, listened to our ideas and produced beautiful design drawings. She was in contact throughout the project to manage the work and make adjustments as needed. We are delighted with the results.

We are very pleased with Katerina's fantastic, beautifully drawn plan to create some privacy for our large garden that is overlooked by balconies and many windows. We have prioritised some tree planting and these are already making a huge difference.

Allium Landscapes worked on a project for Katerina .She supplied the design, and we implemented it for her clients.Katerina has amazing attention to detail and we found her passion for this project second to none. Materials were ordered and delivered when we needed them, and she was always on the end of the phone, when we needed any questions answered. I would highly recommend her services, and cannot wait to get started on the next project with her.

My small city garden needed a complete transformation from a featureless decked space to something that suited my style and lifestyle. It was quite daunting to embark on what for me, was a very big project, but once I'd spoken to Katerina it became a ‘no-brainer’. She listened carefully to what I wanted, contributed her own great ideas, drew up a plan, which showed me how lovely my garden could be, and then delivered on that plan 100%, on time and on budget. To anyone considering having work done on their garden, and particularly if they want something transformative, I don’t think they could choose anyone better to design and deliver that than Katerina. Just looking at the garden makes me happy, it feels like a new piece of home.

Katerina is a breath of fresh air! She comes armed with lots of ideas that are gorgeous BUT sensible to your life, space, budget and time commitments!She’s amazing! Her team and contacts book are inspiring. They’re hard working and a joy to be around.Drop her a line and get her to talk through your project. I guarantee you’ll be bowled over by how good she is!

We recently had an extension built at the back of our new build house, just so we have more space for the family. The extension looked into the garden and at the time the garden looked bland, overgrown with invasive bamboo and we weren't using it effectively or efficiently. We called on Katerina to assist with the garden design and build. The end result, wow! It was way more than we had imagined, by far and we can’t actually imagine that it’s ours. Now we have an extension that looks into a lovely, contemporary, and serene garden and at times feels like we’re flipping through Pinterest or Houzz.Working with Katerina was effortless, she was friendly and warm, plus she kept us updated during the build. She talked us through her concept and presented both a 2D and 3D hand-drawn visual when we first met. Her designer eye was so important as we couldn’t quite work out how our garden could be transformed, especially as it is awkwardly shaped. The entire process was seamless and easy. We didn’t need to worry as we were in capable hands. Somehow Katerina and her team, has managed to create a beautiful garden with more space to encourage individual time, but also bring together the family. We just love it.Thank you for the hard work, you've easily made us the envy of our neighbours now!

The service and end results from Kat and her team were excellent and more than surpassed my expectations. From the initial consult and design stage, Kat was so passionate and informed. She walked me through some exciting design ideas, always ensuring I was fully informed and briefed. We discussed budgets and the resulting brief, within my budget, was really exciting to be a part of. Kat's team were on site for the best part of 4 weeks. The construction team were amazingly professional, hard working and polite, leaving the site every evening tidy and clean. Finally, as the planting stage kicked off, the garden really started taking shape. I am so pleased to have gone through Kat. She made sure she returned as necessary following the main bulk of the. work to ensure every element was in place. The end result is a beautiful new garden that is a joy to spend time in. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Kat; my once overgrown and weed-strewn space is now a true oasis of natural beauty and calm.

We worked with Katerina through Floral & Hardy during the second half of 2021. Katerina was fantastic and a pleasure to work with throughout the project. She listened carefully to what we wanted and produced beautiful drawings that we then saw come to life. Her communication throughout was brilliant and the whole process was collaborative and smooth. We are absolutely thrilled with the final result. Highly recommend!
