Harrington Porter

We’ve used Harrington Porter across a number of projects now and have been consistently very happy with the results. Their attention to detail really stands out, particularly in the quality of the woodwork and finish. Everything is well considered, precisely executed, and built to last. They clearly take pride in their craft, and it shows. We would happily recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality, dependable work.

We are thrilled with Harrington Porter’s renovation/ complete transformation of our garden, and are more than happy to highly recommend Chris and his team. We wanted something completely unique and bespoke, something very modern and chic but at the same time practical and fun for our large young family, and Chris and his team achieved what we were not sure was actually practically possible. At the design stage, Chris had endless patience with us while we worked with him to create the precise look we were envisaging. He has a very talented lightening designer/ electrician, which means we enjoy the garden just as much in the evenings, from different views inside our house, and all year round. During the renovation process, Chris’ team worked tirelessly including through extreme heat at times. They were polite, very tidy, and extremely conscious of having young children around. They were a pleasure to have around, and even helped with some urgent childproofing in the kitchen at one point! We took Chris’ lead and expertise on the planting which we have been delighted with and hope to use his team for future gardening maintenance.

We couldn't have been happier with Harrington Porter and the work that they did to redesign our front and back gardens. Having been recommended to use HP by a friend in SW18, the service we received was excellent from start to finish. Also, a very knowledgeable and friendly team who clearly take pride in their work.

Very good communications throughout garden renovations. Tried to keep the cost down for me but at the same time delivered a great product at the end with high quality 5 stars

From initial communication with Chris through design to boots on the ground first class service. We cant thank the team enough for their hard work and dedication. Even though the storms a tent went up and the show continued with smiles all around. Lovely chaps & and a well oiled machine.

We used Harrington Porter for an extensive garden renovation. We went from what was akin to a prison exercise yard of difficult dimensions and an awkward slope, to a level and perfectly appointed outdoor haven. Harrington Porter used their expertise to structure the planting and design of the seating and dining areas to create an optical illusion of symmetry. We could not be more delighted with our outdoor dining and cooking area, the lighting, drinks fridge, outdoor fire pit and fireplace. We struck a number of challenges along the way due to our specification but Harrington Porter were relentless in ensuring these were overcome. I have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending their garden design and landscaping services.

Harrington Porter did a major transformation of our London garden taking it from an unused paved area to a highly used area with fire pit, fireplace, bbq area and lush planting. Totally transformed and it's like having another room in the house. Equally impressive is their commitment to ensuring we are happy, and ongoing support.

Chris ,Maciej , Ben and the rest of the Harrington Porter team were excellent throughout the whole process from design through to the build. The design and workmanship was excellent and we absolutely love the end result. A special thank you to Chris for all his advice on how we should look after the plants!

We were recommended Harrington Porter by friends and Chris and his team have done an incredible job for us. Despite a tricky dual level garden design incorporating requirements for both small children and adults, Chris produced a great design first time around and we ended up implementing that initial proposal. The Harrington Porter building team were a delight, very friendly and helpful, and the final result is fantastic. They showed excellent attention to detail and were always keen to get everything perfect, including immediate follow up visits whenever we spotted anything not exactly right. Friends now always comment on the design of the garden when they first see it. I recommend them highly.

Fantastic service, very professional and we are delighted with our new garden!

Chris and the team totally exceeded our expectations when they transformed our tiny London garden into a beautiful and practical space for both adults & kids. Chris was incredibly patient as went on a bit of a journey to figure out what we wanted, really listening to us and giving us expert advice on a solution that would fit our lifestyle and priorities. It was a real partnership from beginning to end and Chris kept us informed at all times throughout the project. The team worked tirelessly to get the garden finished on time and were a joy to have around - polite, punctual, professional, and extremely hard-working. Would highly recommend Harrington Porter for any garden project!

Chris and Ben at Harrington Porter are in a league of their own. After meeting with various garden designers, we ultimately chose Harrington Porter for their end-to-end managed service and keen design eye -- Harrington Porter transformed our small back garden, a plain slab of concrete, into a calming urban oasis. When we first engaged the team, we knew it would be difficult to meet our expectations (we hoped to squeeze multiple features into a small 5 by 5 metre space), but the team has exceeded them. The process was seamless from beginning to end -- Ben nailed the design on his first pass, works commenced shortly thereafter, and the labourers were polite, tidy and precise throughout the build process. We’re now left with a magazine-quality garden that complements our home’s interior design, makes our home appear larger and offers a space for our dog and baby to play. We’ve spent every evening in our garden since works completed and we look forward to doing so for many years to come.

Chris and the team did a fantastic job of our small garden in SW12. The team understood what we were looking to achieve and produced detailed renders that allowed us to refine the design and ensure everything was spot on before we began. The guys worked hard building out the garden, despite dealing with the impact of Brexit and the pandemic and we now have something we’re really happy with. Throughout the entire process, Chris was very responsive and dealt with any concerns that we had. The garden wasn’t cheap, but you really do get what you pay for and we would definitely recommend to others.

Very professional team Well recommend

Chris and his team are fantastic. Chris has a great sense of what works, both aesthetically and practically, so he had lots of great ideas for the design process whilst being respectful of our budget. He was always responsive, honest and full of good advice. The whole process from design to completion was very efficient and quick. He was a pleasure to work with and his team of garden landscapers were all very diligent and experienced. Highly recommended!

Having already started on the layout of our terraced garden in our new London house, we got stuck. Not sure where to turn, we were referred to Chris, whose work we had admired previously on social media. His team worked quickly and efficiently and as a result is our terrace is contemporary, low maintenance and perfectly compliments our home. We are very happy with it.

We found Harrington Porter on line - we wanted a London garden designer who could transform our very dull outside space into a social garden that we could use all year around. Chris's design was amazing and he worked around our budget and the changes we wanted - particularly my 'planting' requirements! His team are absolutely brilliant. They made it a seamless exercise from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. And we now have a garden that we absolutely LOVE! Thank you so much Chris!

Chris came recommended by some friends, whose garden he had transformed, so we had high hopes. We were not disappointed. The initial designs that Chris came up with were in tune with the kind of thing that we wanted in our garden but also had some extra inventiveness to set them apart. We were then able to tweak elements to suit our taste, needs and budget, with clear communication and drawings being provided throughout the process. The build process was as efficient and unintrusive as could have been hoped with a terraced house and Chris and his team have been very responsive when it comes to snagging/follow--up issues. Most importantly, we love our new garden!

From the outset, all dealings with Harrington Porter were professional, easy and transparent. Of the four quotes we had, they were the only team to listen to what we wanted and as such came back with a competitive price and simple proposal, which was exactly what we were looking for. The team, Michal and Marek, who undertook the work, were exemplary; incredibly hard working in all weathers, always leaving the site tidy, keeping me updated of progress from suppliers, really polite, (very kind to our inquisitive toddler!) and punctual throughout. I have had no hesitation in recommending the team to more than one friend already and we're thrilled with the result. Many thanks!

Great design and service. Well done!

The design was a challenge as we have an unusual shape plot on a gradient. Chris has provided a fabulous timeless design that we enjoy throughout the year.

I’ve been working with Harrington Porter for more than 10 years, making bespoke outdoor cushions for their garden designs; everything from a standard garden bench to an intricately-designed corner seating area. I’ve always found Harrington Porter a pleasure to work with; highly professional but easygoing. I'm proud that my designs have contributed to their consistently beautiful and innovative gardens. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend working with them as a client or as a colleague.

Chris and the team at Harrington Porter have transformed our underwhelming rear garden into a fantastic extension of our new open plan kitchen. Turns out there is lots more work than meets the eye to get this type of garden – we learnt lots about levels, materials, the type of doors we needed for our kitchen – and Harrington Porter have been really informative and helpful throughout the whole process. They liaised with our architects and builders and it's been invaluable having someone of Chris' experience to work with. We absolutely love our outside “room”, from the choice of colours and materials to the low maintenance planting . The whole project came together really well and we are thrilled. From the initial designs through to the final construction, their team have been patient, passionate and polite! We are really really pleased with the outcome.

Exceptional service & standards. Highly recommended.

Chris was diligent, flexible and importantly creative when dealing with our need to completely transform and add value to what at the time was a drab and neglected garden. Giving us multiple options to suit varying budgets, all of which offered us fresh and contemporary ideas. He delivered on time and within budget and we all could not have be happier with the result. Chris and his team were first class and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Harrington Porter in the future.

Very reliable and creative

The team at Harrington Porter get it - great service, sensible advice and a way of looking at garden design that is innovative and fun. Highly recommended.

Chris did some wonderful garden work earlier this year, and left our garden looking absolutely amazing. They completely redesigned our front and back gardens with a great bespoke design that took some work to make. They completely refurbed the garden and the final finish was amazing. I'm confident I will double my investment as I can now sell my house with confidence that we are making the most from our limited garden space in London. Nice work Chris thanks for all your hard work we'll definitely book you again next time we need our garden doing!

Harrington Porter have transformed our garden, providing design consultation, lovely plans and mood boards then finally sourcing for and building the garden with his hardworking team. Chris is experienced in what he does and really cares about the detail, he obviously enjoys his job! We wanted a garden that we could entertain our family and our friends and this is what we've got. We are thrilled with the results. Thank you so much Harrington Porter - we'll be recommending you to our friends!

Five Star Service. I can highly recommend Harrington Porter.

Harrington Porter were able to completely understand our vision and source the perfect products and accents for our newly landscaped garden. Top marks. Great service. Couldn't be more pleased with the end result. Thank you!

Great designs and brilliant service.
