Ana Mari Bull Landscape & Garden Design

Redesigning our garden was part of a big house refurbishment project. Right from the start Ana was brilliant at being able to take on board the existing house and patio designs, understand our needs, tastes and style and bring it all to life with well thought out planting plans. We now have amazingly lush flower beds with a combination of colour, texture, structured and soft planting that is often commented on and admired by visitors. Having once had a garden that was largely unused, we now have something that is beautiful and that we thoroughly enjoy spending time in. Ana really cares about her gardens and still checks in with us to see how things are going and to offer much appreciated help and advice.

Great garden design. Bought the experience to life with a 3D model and mood boards. Garden is now a magnet for bees, butterflies and birds. We even have our own bees nest. Also great entertaining space. The garden gets lots of positive feedback from friends and family. Ana was great to work with, would recommend.

Ana has been amazing - she listened to all the things we asked for & delivered everything & more. We couldn't be happier! Our garden started out as a small, rather un-usable space & is now a beautiful, calm garden where we can all enjoy it. Ana's team were fantastic too - they turned up on time each day, worked hard, and followed Ana's plans to the last centimetre! I would highly recommend her.

Ana Mari was required to sort her way through a lot of pre-conceptions which my wife and I had about what should be done with our patio garden in Henley-on-Thames. With a minimum of fuss she came up with a design we liked and which her guys delivered on time and on budget. Thank you!

I have been lucky enough to collaborate with Ana on a number of projects and would highly recommend her professional approach to bring something beautiful and unique to a space. Ana is able to take a clients brief and create something wonderful that both compliments the architecture, site and surroundings whilst also standing out as a unique considered design with strong structure and often soft, romantic planting. She is able to overcome awkward spaces and challenges, including proving a design for a green living wall to be used as a surround to a contemporary window seat. She is a delight to work with and I am looking forward to working together on the next project.

After an extensive house renovation, it was important to have a garden which reflected the contemporary look of the building. Ana Mari understood our wishes and created a design with hard and soft landscaping, of paved areas , raised beds and lawns, perfect for the house. She then drew setting out instructions for the landscaping team. Ana Mari"s attention to detail was commendable and during the work visited regularly. Her planting plans have given us a garden which is easy to maintain and full of interest throughout the year, differing shapes, sizes and textures and all in a soft colour scheme, creating a calm and relaxing space. We are very pleased with the garden and highly recommend Ana Mari Bull.

Ana created us a beautiful garden. From the briefing stage it was clear that she really wanted the garden to work for our family, and she was able to answer all our needs and desires in a very creative way. She has great attention to detail which really helped at the installation stage and both the hard landscaping and planting plan have worked very well. The planting looks absolutely stunning, and in just a couple of months the garden looked like it had been there forever. We are so pleased, and now spend every moment we can in this beautiful space. Ana even gave me some gardening lessons, as I am a complete novice, and now I'm really enjoying looking after the garden.

Ana has been a gift. If it hadn’t been for her, our garden would never have happened. She is enormously innovative and resourceful, and such a pleasure to work with, especially during the build of our new house, when to say we were a tad stressed would have been something of an understatement! Having taken the trouble to understand what we were about and what we wanted from a garden, Ana simply took care of it. And, oh boy! What a lovely garden we now have. She’s turned a long and narrow space into the most fabulous adventure, approaching the house. Our garden is the perfect showcase for her attention to detail and eye for aesthetics, And without her comprehensive knowledge of the plants she has sourced, our garden (right in the Thames floodplain) wouldn’t have lasted long. Ana 'got' us and the space straight away, designing us a garden that completely fulfils our hopes and expectations. We really lucked out, finding Ana, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services wholeheartedly.

I can highly recommend Ana Mari for her intuitive and original ideas in garden design. She has a deep respect and understanding of her client's tastes and needs and will offer a range of ideas to meet both budgets and the character of a garden. I love the inspired choices she suggests and all the wonderful advice on garden maintenance. She really knows her subject and will inspire you with her wit and wisdom.

I've known Ana for two years, since I went looking for a garden designer/expert to tackle a community project (a huge double green wall to the entrance of Ancastle Green, RG9 1TR). She was one of three companies that provided me with a quote and design, and she's the one I chose. She 'got' what I was trying to achieve straight away, and had already created a smaller scale green wall in a nearby village, so I was able to see the results. The community project is still in its early stages due to local red tape, but I'm hopeful she'll be able to complete this at some point in the future. She was very understanding of the delay. In the meantime, having been so impressed, not only by her experience and professionalism, but by her warm, friendly demeanor, and lack of egotism, I contacted her for my own private project - a remodeling of my front garden. Even though this is a tiny project compared to the community one, she was happy to take it on. She went the extra mile by also providing a design of my back garden (which I had expressed my concerns about) - which was very decent of her, even though I didn't end up needing it. I love her ideas and designs for the front, and I'm extremely excited to see the results. The project is due for completion in Spring 2017. In the meantime, Ana's maintained contact and kept me abreast of materials/plants as she continues to source. I'd highly recommend her.
