“JPS came up with a complete vision for our large garden that we would never have got to ourselves, and I would say that this is their main strength as designers. JPS kept track of the things we said we liked about the present one, and managed to incorporate them in something utterly new. Work implementing it is not yet complete, but already we can see that the design is 100% successful – on its way to being a major asset for the house. The design has mostly hard landscaping close to the house, and moves by degrees through a relatively formal lawn and planting area to a naturalistic zone with a large pond, wild-flower meadow and orchard. There’s also a terraced kitchen garden and greenhouse in a corner where the slope faces away from the house. Walking round the garden there is now a real sense of being drawn into an exploration, and there are half a dozen different places to sit and enjoy it – some secluded, some with a view, some in the sun at various times of the day, and always somewhere with shade at the height of summer. Brilliant!”

J Hartley, Sherfield English, Hampshire

“We approached JPS to look at the landscape strategy for the proposed arts centre because we knew they would come up with a great landscape design that worked well with our architectural design. The design they produced has contributed enormously to the quality of the overall scheme. They brought fantastic ideas and enthusiasm to the project. It was a pleasure working with them”

Williams Lester Architects

“We were delighted with the result, which has achieved the design brief of minimal garden maintenance. The project also came in under the budget set. I would recommend all to contact you with their garden problems, and would be willing for any prospective clients to see the finished results. Thank you, Janine and all involved”

Mr & Mrs Smyth, Lilliput

“I just arrived back from a cold day out in Swanage to find the garden looking AMAZING!!!!! WOW – looks fantastic and I can’t believe how quickly your team got them in the ground – I was only away for four hours! It would have taken us four weekends to get that far!”

Mr & Mrs D, Talbot Woods, Bournemouth

“Bournemouth Hospital Charity were delighted to be approached by JPS to design and help create a special sensory garden for our patients who have dementia. These people stay in hospital a lot longer and having an outside space for them to get out of the ward is fantastic. Denise and Janine have created an innovative garden with great insight into how people manage with dementia. The garden is a story that fits with wards ensuring that patients with dementia have time away from the ward to relax and do something they enjoy that they remember from their earlier days. Thank you JPS”

A Piedot, Corporate Fundraising Officer, Bournemouth Hospital Charity

“We have had the pleasure of working with JPS on two projects. On both occasions we found Janine, Denise and the team really bring our ideas to life and have been delighted with the outcome”

Pro Landscaper Business Awards

“An exciting garden design that encapsulated all of our love of the Mediterranean in rural Dorset. Working with Janine, Denise and their team to create an innovative but practical and child-friendly outside space to entertain and play was a pleasure from start to finish – and ongoing – as they continue to develop and maintain the high standard set”

Mr & Mrs Beaumont, Charlton Marshall

“I found JPS friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Janine visited us a couple of times to discuss our ideas and thoughts for the garden. She was enthusiastic and listened to our requirements. She was also willing to take our suggestions on board, too. Any queries or responses were dealt with in a timely manner. A few of the plants I was slightly unsure of initially but I can now understand and see why they were included as they certainly enhance and work beautifully with the all the others. The quality of the plants supplied were good too. We now have a stunning garden that we are enjoying every day”

G Gulland, Lymington

“I was recommended JPS by a friend who had recently used them to design her garden. The overall professionalism and attention to detail of their work was a delight. I found the team very easy to work with and very keen to achieve exactly what we were looking for. The plant advice is very helpful too, especially when you are a novice gardener”

Mrs Rawson, Wick Village

“Pro Landscaper magazine have been lucky enough to work with JPS and we have featured one of their outstanding designs in our Portfolio feature.

“JPS designed our small garden beautifully, taking our needs into account and coming up with a clever and thoughtful design. We had a number of visits from JPS where we discussed our planting options as we were after a low maintenance garden which would be lovely all year round. They provided us with various options on materials, taking our budget into account. We enjoy our garden every day now. Thank you, JPS!”

Mrs Wenborn, Queens Park, Bournemouth

“We are delighted with the borders. We can’t wait to see how they mature. It’s completely transformed the front of the house and has given us a finish that only you and your team could do. The team did an excellent job working in such horrendous weather, too”

Mr & Mrs B, Winchester

“Thank you so much for bringing our garden dreams to life. The garden is truly stunning and we really enjoy admiring it every day, neighbours and friends have also made lots of admiring comments. We really enjoyed the process of design and execution that you made so very easy. Let’s not forget your team, who managed to plant everything so quickly and leave everything spotless. Much appreciated”

Mr & Mrs D, Talbot Woods, Bournemouth

“All our visitors have been most impressed with the new garden and we’ve had a lot of pleasure in it this summer. I can see just how much the various shrubs and plants have grown. The beans and tomatoes did well and it’s been great popping outside the kitchen door for my herbs!”

Mrs A Sorton, Merley

“JPS have been excellent to work with, took all our needs into consideration and came up with a stunning plan and some beautiful plants”

Mr & Mrs Worthy, Talbot Woods

“As architect for my own house, I was keen to work with garden designers who could bring a different dimension and sensibility to the garden proposals. JPS immediately understood the house and arrived at an elegant layout of the garden that complements and contrasts with the architecture. Janine and team created a plant palette that reflected our tastes and was able to source plants at a price that was significantly less than we could have found. Throughout the day the garden is the backdrop to our life and observing the transitory effects of light or breeze and the changing character of the plants brings constant stimulation and delight. The garden is an eloquent testimony to the skill and passion of JPS”

C Gulland, Lymington

“We are very pleased with the result and have been using the garden non-stop”

J Kingston, Hengistbury Head

“As part of a new extension to our home we not only wanted to create a great internal space, but wanted to make full use of the outside space to create a great outside living area that we could enjoy as a family and with friends, so we used JPS. We would have no hesitation in recommending JPS and have offered the garden for viewing/reference by appointment for any future prospect. Thank you, for a beautiful garden – we could not have done it without you!!”

“As a charity, we found JPS to be very supportive of the gardens we wished to design, incorporating our ideas, and those of the under five year-olds with whom we ourselves consulted. Subsequently, we have two very different gardens that enable parents and children to fully engage in play and learning together, in a safe and secure environment. You have provided us with an excellent service, which came within budget and timescales. We look forward to working with you again in the very near future. Many thanks”

Mr & Mrs Sharp, Southbourne

“JPS originally designed our front garden and did such a great job that we wanted them to design our back garden and make it more usable. They came up with some very practical ideas and also helped us during the planning process. Both Janine and her team were very helpful and extremely detailed which ensured our landscapers produced a beautiful garden. What made Janine, Denise and their team outstanding was their aftercare. My husband and I do not know much about gardening so we had many questions for Janine, who has always been very happy to assist us and give us valuable advice”

J Mathioudakis, Parkstone, Poole

“We are very pleased with the overall result. JPS took a difficult and neglected site and has transformed this into a real family garden with elements for ourselves as keen gardeners and our son who needs space to explore. The sunken trampoline is now his favourite outdoor activity. JPS was courteous throughout and I would have no hesitation in recommending them”

Mr & Mrs Ray, Lower Parkstone

“We love our new garden. It is exactly what we wanted. The design is very modern and in keeping with our home. The planting gives the garden a Mediterranean feel and at night the garden is transformed and comes to life by the lighting. We were very pleased with the service we received from both Janine and Denise and we would recommend them to anybody who asks”

N White, Dorchester

“I wanted to convey our thanks to you and the whole team for the fantastic job you’ve done – it’s been a pleasure working with you all on this project and we’ve been impressed with your approach and attitude throughout.

Mr D Glasbrook, Lilliput, Poole

“What a transformation! Our garden is unrecognisable from when we started and beyond all expectations. JPS has managed to create a garden that has everything we need and more. A garden that is both child-friendly and an excellent entertaining space. The lighting in the garden makes it truly enchanting at night. We can’t wait to spend many a happy time with our young daughter in the garden. Thanks to Janine and team for the quality and professional service. We would not hesitate in recommending JPS to our friends and family and the garden speaks for itself”

Mrs K Sims, Avon Beach

“JPS helped us turn our rough ideas into a fully realised and creative design, which made the most of a very difficult and compact multi-level space. The result is a brilliant mix of kitchen garden and outdoor coastal living space, enhanced with carefully positioned planters, high quality paving, decking and cedar wood fencing. Janine and team made sure that the whole process ran to schedule – from planning through construction to planting – and we couldn’t be more pleased with the final result”

The sun came out long enough on Saturday for us to take Ibby around the garden; he giggled all the way round, especially when we rolled his wheelchair onto the trampoline and bounced!! We switched the lighting on last night… what can I say… you have turned our garden into a truly magical place. Thank you, all”

Mr & Mrs Baker, Colehill

“The whole project, from start to finish, was handled in a very professional way, taking into account all of our wishes and delivering on time with a result that was beyond our expectation.

Mr & Mrs Sansom, Branksome Park

“We presented JPS with a large, characterless, neglected garden, with several problem areas where any growth was difficult. What we wanted to achieve was an attractive garden which maximised play value for our children, while requiring very little maintenance from us. The design that JPS presented to us surpassed our expectations, and has been expertly executed. We are delighted with the finished product”

Mr & Mrs Perrins, Christchurch

“JPS were commissioned to prepare landscape design proposals for a new architect-designed home in Dorset. They followed the brief exactly and came up with fantastic ideas.

I contacted due to recommendation and in turn, I highly recommend”

G Worsfold, Hengistbury Head

They were fun to work with and truly professional throughout the whole project. We would highly recommend the services of JPS”

Janine and Denise are both passionate and focused on a) ensuring the results they deliver are always of the highest quality, b) ensuring the experience of dealing with their company is a great one (as a client, supplier and employee) and c) pushing the boundaries of what they can achieve for clients.
