Garden designers portrayed in magazines are increasingly those dealing with the most edgy hospitality projects whilst in fact requests from private clients are quite different and designers hard to find.

We are starting a series on 'real life' garden designs.

Caroline Garland offers a comprehensive range of garden design and project management expertise for London and the South and each of her services can be used individually or as an integral part of the complete design process.

Caroline is a fully accredited garden designer, clever with her ideas and efficient at carrying them out. She has an essential sense of beauty and style and will want to create something stunning, immaculate and original to suit you and your surroundings.

Caroline is a real gardener, she loves her flowers and will not only design a garden specifically for you but will also produce a beautiful planting scheme chosen from a wide palette of plants which will interpret your vision completely. And you will find it reassuring to know that Caroline believes in sourcing the best quality materials. She will listen to you and help you achieve the garden that you want.

• Belgravia's top landscape contracting businesses

Caroline also has the advantage that her husband, Peter Garland, has 30 years' experience running one of Belgravia's top landscape contracting businesses, operating under the name "Townscapes". He is one of the most experienced landscape contractors in London today and if you wish he will build your garden for you.
