“HOw does it help”

Posted 6 months ago

“We have been really impressed by the team at Floral and Hardy. Our designer has been fantastic, providing excellent communications and really creative concepts for our garden. The build has been pain free, the construction team the site clean and tidy each day which is a nice touch, based on previous builder experience this isn't always the case. The quality of the workmanship has been of a high standard, with the designer being very accomodating of our requests to change elements as the build progresses. Whilst the garden is only a few weeks 'old' now we are really loving the space, the planting is superb and we especially enjoy the use of lighting for evening entertaining and relaxing. If we need to have work done in the future we will most definitely reach out to the team again!”

“Our garden looks amazing! Katerina worked with us to create our dream front and back garden and we are so happy with the results! Would highly recommend Floral & Hardy.”

“F&H have just finished our garden project and we couldn't be more pleased. We weren't quite sure what we wanted to do but Katerina guided us through the options, listened carefully to our likes and dislikes and produced beautiful design drawings. The result, now it's all done, is spot on. The guys from the team were delightful to have around, went to great lengths to minimise disruption and couldn't have been easier to deal with throughout. We are very happy indeed with the results and would certainly recommend F&H to others.”

“We have been extremely happy with the whole process. Floral and Hardy have been fantastic with ensuring that I have a garden that is practical and fun to use with kids. Sam has been brilliant with planning the perfect garden and the front drive - very easy to work with who will listen to everything you want in a garden. I really liked how the communication was easy and not stressful at all. Mikel and his team was excellent - always made sure their work was neat and tidy (super impressed). Overall, I was very happy that I picked to go ahead with F&H.”

“Fantastic workers make everything very easy : one person is allocated as a main contact and queries are answered professionally and timely : work done to budget with a efficient work ethic to include proper clean up each night : garden was transformed whilst working in very hot working conditions which made it difficult : would recommend to anyone for any job big or small”

“Floral and Hardy were more expensive than some of the other quotes we got but they thought of almost every detail and guaranteed a fixed price. They managed our expectations regarding time-frames; it took 10 months from the first consultation to completion but once started, progress was fairly quick (approx 14 weeks) considering our small North London garden was completely overhauled. The team on the ground were wonderful! Dimi, Ivan and Vova worked tirelessly to remove 5 skips of clay and soil, which they had to take through the house, and bringing back through materials, equipment, pavers, porcelain and plants. If there was ever an issue, Dimi was on top of it immediately and sorted it swiftly and professionally. They tidied the site at the end of every day, even mopping the protective flooring, so our kids could continue to run around indoors. They were a pleasure to have in the house and really lovely guys - a credit to Floral & Hardy. Kat, the designer, took over the project from another designer who unfortunately had to step back and from the moment she took the reins she gently steered us through the process. She has endless patience and a great sense of humour and stayed calm even when we were at our most demanding. Mark, the project manager, was charming, and pulled everyone together, keeping everything on track. On most occasions when things went wrong, as they inevitably do on a makeover as extensive as ours, he swooped in and sorted it. The only downside was the lack of communication at times and the requests for money before the last stage of the job was complete (which didn’t become a major issue, just a bit awkward). No doubt there was a lot of chat behind the scenes but it would go quiet from time to time and we would almost have to act as liaisons between Kat, Paul and Dimi - in the end we used Kat as the main point of contact and she made sure everything was resolved. We felt this was quite a lot for the designer to take on but she did it with absolute professionalism nonetheless. We had to make sure we were really on top of the snagging list which is essential on any job, especially when a team is keen to move on to their next job, but they came back and covered everything on our list and sorted the last bits. The garden is absolutely beautiful! We had a very specific brief and the changes F&H made were, without exception, all improvements on our design. The before and after photos are really striking and the work is to a high standard. We feel we have added another room to our house and in the warmer weather we can comfortably spend the entire day outside among the flowers and butterflies. Floral & Hardy are very fortunate to have such a brilliant team - Kat, Mark and Dimi are worth their weight in gold!”

“Floral and Hardy have recently completed a total transformation of our garden and courtyard and we are so happy with the result! Beautiful designs and artist impressions were put together following a face-to-face consultation and these have been turned into reality by the amazing on site team who were a joy to work with. Not only did the team do a fantastic job, they were so friendly and patient with our young children who insisted on 'helping' wherever they could... Our new garden has transformed the property - it is an investment that our family will enjoy for many years to come with the added bonus that I think will likely add more value than it cost. Highly recommend using the team at F&H!”

“When we decided to have work done on our garden, we got in touch with several gardening companies and asked them to come and talk to us and see what they suggested in the light of our wishes. Floral and Hardy were by far the most thoughtful and creative of all the companies we contacted and had fantastic ideas to add to our initial thoughts. We knew that we wanted a garden with a Mediterranean feel and there were certain existing features we wanted to retain, including our little pond. The garden is a small, London garden, so design was really important to make the most of fairly limited space. The designers, Kim and Kat spent a great deal of time talking through with us exactly what we wanted and, equally, didn't want, which we really appreciated. They came up with suggestions that would never have occurred to us but also took on board our views. The guys who came to do the clearing, building, and hard landscaping were a complete delight to have around. Not only did they work incredibly hard, but they also made sure that everything was clean and tidy when they left, including washing the kitchen floor on a daily basis. All materials and equipment had to be brought through the house and this was done with great care and the minimum of upheaval for us, for which we are very grateful. To say that we are pleased with the result is an understatement. The garden looks fabulous, even though it is only February and work finished just before Christmas. The narcissi are blooming, the irises are gorgeous and everything else is starting to develop. We now have a great outdoor space for entertaining friends, sitting out in, and just looking through the window and enjoying. We would recommend Floral and Hardy without any hesitation at all.”

“Floral and Hardy undertook a complete renovation to transform our garden from a blank canvas to a modern, stylish garden that made us want to spend time in it! Helen clearly listened to our brief and the design was exactly what we wanted. The landscapers worked really hard, always punctual and professional. We are delighted with the end result and very much looking forward to hosting many a family BBQ. Thank you Floral and Hardy!”

“We recently had an extension built at the back of our holiday house just so we have more space for our family of 6. The extension looked into the garden and at the time the garden looked, blah, bland and we weren't using it effectively or efficiently. We called on Floral and Hardy to assist with the garden design and build. The end result, wow! it was wayssss more than we had imagined, by far! Now we have an extension that looks into a lovely, contemporary, and serene garden. What's more, the beautiful garden seems to have even created more space to encourage individual time for personal reflections and family time for games, conversations or meals. We love it. The entire process with Floral and Hardy was seamless and easy. Working with Katerina was effortless, she was friendly and warm, plus she kept us updated during the build as we weren't in the country at the time. Thank you guys for the lovely work, you've easily made us the envy of our neighbors now. :)”

“A pleasure to deal with from start to finish - our designer Katerina listened closely to what we wanted and produced the most beautiful colour drawings (that we will treasure for years to come). Their communication was brilliant throughout and all of the guys we had on-site during the project were polite, hard working and paid real attention to detail. We are so pleased with the final result - it hasn’t been a cheap project but an investment well worth it for us. The garden is now an extension of the house and a space that we can enjoy as a family for many years to come. Highly reccomend.”

“Our small city garden needed a complete transformation from the featureless decked space that we'd had since our kids were toddlers, to meet the changing needs of our family now that they are teenagers and to give us some outside space to relax in now that we are spending much more time working from home. Starting the garden project was quite daunting, as we knew that a lot of careful planning and work would be needed to turn it into the sort of space that we wanted. But once Paul and his designer Katerina came to see our garden and discuss our requirements with us, they made us believe that what we wanted was achievable, and so we were happy to pay the deposit for the plans (deductible against the final cost). Their ideas really came to life once Kat showed us her detailed coloured plans and ideas for the garden on her next visit. F&H were highly focused on delivering what we wanted from the garden, and also added great ideas to ours. After seeing the plans, we knew that F&H were absolutely the right people to entrust the project to. Our budget was tight, but although not the cheapest, Paul's flexibility in finding ways to reduce costs, and his guarantee that the final price was fixed and that there would be no 'hidden extras' or surprises, convinced us to go ahead with F&H. They were also realistic in their timeframes and we understood that to get the garden we wanted the work would probably take a couple of months. Seeing what we would get at the end of the process, we were happy to wait. Once we gave the green light though, the work on the project started remarkably quickly as Paul had a timeslot available for one of his teams. Measuring up was done within a week, and the team started clearing the garden soon after. The extra light and space in the garden and also in the back of the house that was created by the clearance of overgrown trees etc. was great, and once all the overhanging branches were gone we could see that the ‘blank canvas’ that Kat said we had to work with was bigger than we'd thought. The F&H team were excellent, a complete pleasure to deal with, and worked really hard to complete the clearance and start the hard landscaping phase as quickly as possible, and then we really began to see that F&H would fulfil our hopes for the garden. We went on holiday while the work was going on, but Kat's team continued to work while we were away and Kat kept us updated by email as patios were put in, raised beds were built and rendered, a new shed arrived, new fences were put up, and everything took shape, and we were excited by what we would return to. The finishing touches were done soon after we got back, and once our new garden furniture arrived our new garden was ready for us to enjoy. I don’t think we could be any happier with what Floral & Hardy have delivered for us – the transformation is fantastic. They listened carefully to what we wanted, contributed their own great ideas, drew up a plan which showed us how lovely our garden could be, and then delivered on that plan 100%, on time and on budget. I don’t think it could have been a more stress-free process, and I don’t think we have ever spent money more wisely. They have has even offered to pop back in a few months to make sure all the plants have survived the winter, and to make sure we’re still happy with everything, which I'm certain we will be. 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 Floral & Hardy. Thanks so much to Paul, Kat, Mikel, Igor and the rest of the team!”

“It's not that easy to find a company who will provide an end to end garden design, construction and landscaping service. Floral & Hardy provided a design that exactly met our brief, and worked with us to tailor it to fit our budget. Despite ongoing supply challenges outside of their control (COVID, Suez Canal, HGV drivers and petrol shortages!!), they managed to deliver an amazing transformation to our garden. We needed a lot of hard landscaping removed, new decking, paving and planting, as well as electrics and lighting, and they were able to deliver it all. In large projects such as these, it's inevitable that you will come across unexpected issues, but Paul and Helen were quick to resolve them and ensure that we were happy. Thank you for our beautiful garden, it's exactly as we hoped it would be.”

“Our front and back gardens and roof terrace have been wholly updated and modernised thanks to Floral & Hardy. Their service was first rate in several respects. First, while we initially approached Floral & Hardy simply to update our back garden, which is very small, Paul came up with the suggestion of improving the appearance of our front garden and roof terrace in a coordinated way with our back garden. Sam then provided designs which updated all three spaces in a way which provided continuity between them. Second, the Floral & Hardy design process is very client-focussed. After an initial visit to discuss in detail the type of planting and appearance we wanted to achieve, Sam then provided a brief for our approval. After taking on board our feedback, he then provided drawings for further discussion and feedback. And throughout the garden work, there were additional opportunities to refine the design and make additional changes. Third, the work carried out by Dimi and his co-workers was very professional and of excellent quality. Finally, Floral & Hardy did not quibble over modifications made while carrying out the work. Unlike many other builders I have used in the past, who want to charge extra for every minor change after work has started, I very much appreciated Floral & Hardy sticking with their original quote even though some materials and design features were altered after the building work and planting had begun. Not everything went smoothly of course. Work started several weeks late and took several weeks longer to complete than originally planned. However, these delays were partly due to poor weather and partly to being unable to receive timely deliveries for particular supplies, matters which were out of the hands of Floral & Hardy. The end result was well worth the wait. Its not an exaggeration to say how the look of our property has been completely transformed thanks to their outstanding design and high quality work.”

“Floral and Hardy were friendly, professional and hugely knowledgeable. They designed a beautiful garden for us that was everything we wanted and more. They listened to our wants and needs and the final result has genuinely changed our lives. It will be something that we treasure for a long, long time.”

“We've been so impressed with Floral & Hardy from start to finish. We really valued the design phase and the direction we received from Sam was essential for us as we weren't quite sure what we wanted as our new build garden was very bland. We were so impressed with his designs and how that translated into the end product. The attention to detail at every stage of the project was top notch. There were challenges with deliveries due to national shortages and Sam and Mark stopped at nothing to ensure we got our project delivered. The builders were dedicated and had incredibly high standards. We are so pleased with the final product and have had so many compliments. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Floral & Hardy and are so excited to be able to use our garden for years to come. Thanks to everyone in the team!”

“We asked Paul and Helen to help us with our over grown/messy garden. We were looking for a space that we could enjoy with our daughter and entertain friends. Their design really blew us away, we now have a lovely tropical feel to our garden complete with lighting for evenings, a fantastic garden office (which has been a god send for lockdown), a lovely water feature and beautiful lawn area for our daughter to play. Their team were excellent throughout, always left the space clean and clear. Helen suggested some fantastic planting ideas that have added colour and privacy in all the right areas. We would happily recommend them to friends and family and will be using them in the future when our next move comes up!”
