Elaine – Mansewood

David and William have completely transformed our back garden from a tired-looking, useless space into an extremely attractive area to sit in, in the spring/summer months.

From the planning stage to implementation and completion of the landscaping, they have been meticulous and hard-working in their approach and we are delighted with the outcome.  Their efforts have not only added value but appeal to our property and we couldn’t be more grateful.  We would have no hesitation in recommending Dear Green Space.

Margaret and Douglas

A heart felt thanks to the team. We are absolutely thrilled with the redesign of our back garden and are looking forward to watching the planting scheme develop over the coming months and years. You certainly made a very careful and considered selection of plants for all year round interest.

We are so glad that we chose Dear Green Space to undertake the transformation of our back garden. Ultimately, you’ve understood what we want and need from our garden.

Clare – Muirend

We’re delighted with the transformation in our garden! We didn’t know where to start with our very overgrown garden so Gary suggested a 2 stage approach, clearing the garden first and then another chat about what we might do. We knew we wanted to retain some of the features that we inherited in a traditional  garden but still keep it fairly low maintenance.

Gary, David and William have given us just that.I  love we have evergreen features in addition to all the other fantastic range of plants that have been added.. already been making use of the herb border! Many thanks for taking (lots of!) time to listen and make suggestions that have given us a lovely garden. Can’t wait to be sitting out there..roll on summer.
Very professional, affordable and highly recommended…thank you.

Around spring 2014 my wife and I had begun looking for someone to turn our garden into a family friendly space from the unusable mess that it was. We spent months looking at websites and sending emails off for folk to provide quotes and ideas, surprisingly none of them replied. We then literally stumbled upon Dear Green Space . Within 24hrs of emailing them, Gary had replied and arranged to call out and see us with a view to quoting for the work. After Gary’s visit my wife and I both agreed that this was the right firm for us – still Had to get the price for the work, might I add, but we had a good feeling.
Gary’s quote came in and we agreed on final details but the attention Gary put into ensuring we got what we asked for was top class. Some may say we should have gotten other quotes and that we are mad for taking the first company to quote. However, we are genuine believers in you get what you pay for and Dear Green Place certainly exceeded our expectations.
We have no hesitation in recommending Dear Green Place to anyone or even having them back for future projects. In fact even our kids are delighted and they spent every night inspecting what had been done in the day. We really cannot wait until spring.
Paul & Andrea Stuart – Hogganfield

The first time David and Gary designed and built the front and back garden I was thrilled with the results and have continued to enjoy it over the years. Having had this alteration done due to changing circumstances, I have fallen in love with it over again. I am absolutely delighted with the results and only hope Scruff ( the dog) appreciates all the hard work.

We are delighted with the work which Dear Green Space did for us in our garden this year. We knew what we were dissatisfied with in the garden but were very unsure of how we wanted to go about improving it and what things to prioritise. Gary came out for several preliminary visits and was exceptionally patient in interpreting our needs and working out a plan which we could afford. He seemed to understand us better than we do ourselves – I think he could have an alternative career as a life coach! The team were efficient, hard working and a pleasure to have around and the whole family quite missed them when the work was complete!
Lorna Robb – Simshill 

    David,Gary and William have now totally transformed my garden, both back and front. The whole garden had got completely out of control after building work and was really a bit of a jungle. They were undaunted by this and performed the “makeover” quickly and with no fuss.
David seemed to know exactly what I wanted from the first consultation and was a pleasure to work with. They have just completed the larger part of my back garden when I was away on holiday and I had that wonderful “Alan Titchmarch” moment when I got home.
It’s now much more easily manageable but still has lots of scope for pottering around and enjoying the outside space. My only criticism is they didn’t eat the ice cream and sorbet I had made for them and left in my freezer. They worked too hard!
Judith – Netherlee 

When we thought about landscaping our garden we thought it best to get 3 surveys I must say we so happy we did & our choice could not have been better.
Dear green space are friendly, efficient, trustworthy & most of all very talented.
Gary talked through every step of the garden with the whole family and made us feel that we all had a say in what is now a fantastic garden. We all look forward to the garden maturing as we do and to the special times our family will share. Thank you all
Jamie White – Bearsden 

We are delighted with work Gary and his team did in our garden. Gary listened to us and offered suggestions to suit our aspirations and budget! Workmanship and customer service were first class! – H. Moreland – Stepps 

I am so glad that we asked Dear Green Space to help improve our garden. Right from the outset, Gary understood my requirements and he has successfully translated this into a reality.
The plants he selected were carefully tailored to our needs and planted with great care (and although the plants have been newly laid out, it is obvious that I will have a great range of flower and foliage colour and texture for years to come).
Gary’s knowledge of plants is impressive, his ability to understand the client brief is fantastic and ensured that I was happy with the work as it progressed. Gary, David and Jim were professional and courteous at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend Dear Green Space to anyone who wants to takes pride in their garden – Kim – Robroyston 

We’re very pleased with the results after Gary and his team came round to sort out our garden. The choice of plants were exactly what we had in mind. They did a great job for us on a tight budget and we are now looking forward to being able to make the most of our outdoor space.

Thanks Gary, We are very impressed with the finished result and look forward to watching it grow, it has made such a huge difference to the look of the house from the road and is so much more pleasant to look out onto! – M Buchanan – Lenzie 

 
I can’t recommend DEAR GREEN SPACE highly enough.
Right from the initial consultation where I talked with David about what I was looking for, to his drawings where he got it exactly right first time, through to the work being done quickly, tidily and beautifully, it couldn’t have been easier. Our garden has been transformed and now feels like an extension of our home, opening up a new space for us. If only the weather in Glasgow was better we’d be out there all the time!
Hope Dickson Leach – Belmont Terrace, Kelvinbridge

 
Dear Green Space have now completed three projects for me and I have been delighted with the results. More than that, Gary is a pleasure to work with.
He really listened to what I wanted to achieve and made helpful suggestions as to how to make it happen. He is also very organised and reliable. He turns up when he says he will and carries on the work on time and on budget.
Thanks to DGS, I am slowly getting a garden for all the family.

David and Gary were easy to work with and suggested ideas which we would never have thought of for the garden. Marvellous work, which was carried out within the promised timescale. Thanks again! – John & Lynne – Crookston

Dear Gary & David, Just a note to say thanks for watering the garden while I was away. I also want to say how much I love what you’ve done. It was a joy seeing it all come together and the way you managed to interpret what my wants and needs were is superb.I’m now looking forward to the sun shining again so I can enjoy it even more, but I must say it even looks good in the rain. Jeanette Morrison- Stepps
