Zoe Claymore Garden Design

Zoe provided a brilliant design consultation on our back garden, packed with ideas for hard and soft landscaping. She listened to our preferences and understood the direction we are hoping to take it with lots of lovely suggestions. She was also very good at guiding us towards ideas which fit our budget and time poor lives. We have lots to work with now and a much clearer vision for the space. Thank you!

Zoe and Vicky did a tremendous job designing our front garden space. Despite our changing priorities, they were able to accommodate these requirements and came up with a beautiful and workable design. I can't rate them highly enough. The icing on the cake was the very detailed "Garden Care Guide" which contains comprehensive season-by-season advice on individual plant care - amazing!

We worked with Zoe at a point where we knew we wanted to do something with our garden, but couldn’t quite see its potential or how the space could flow. Her input was transformative in helping us step back and understand what was possible. What stood out immediately was how thoughtful and considered her approach was. The pre-assessment process really helped us get clear on what we liked (and didn’t), which meant our time together was incredibly focused and productive. During the consultation, she listened deeply — not just to what we said, but to how we think about gardens — and gave us the confidence to get going. She left us with a strong “skeleton” for the space, which has been invaluable. Since then, we’ve gone on to redesign both a south-facing and a north-facing border, making more confident plant choices and creating something that feels much more naturalistic and connected. We now have a planting plan and layout we would never have arrived at on our own. I also really appreciated how mindful she was of our budget. She helped us prioritise what mattered most now, while also identifying areas we could live with and evolve over time as we better understand how we use the space. That balance made the whole project feel achievable rather than overwhelming. Zoe didn’t impose a “signature style” — instead, she helped us find our own, and gave us the confidence to trust our instincts while refining our ideas. I’d highly recommend Zoe to anyone who wants a garden that feels considered, personal, and grounded in how the space actually behaves.

We wanted a garden full of colour, bees, butterflies, and birds — and Zoe delivered exactly that! From the design to choosing and planting the perfect plants, she took care of everything. She even created special spots for our cat and sourced dog-friendly grass for the lawn. We absolutely love our little garden and would recommend Zoe anytime!

My garden was dark, neglected and overgrown. Thanks to Zoe I now have a lovely space to enjoy, welcoming to both people and wildlife. I have no hesitation in recommending this professional and responsive garden designer.
