Benedict's Testimonials

• Benedict Bull is quite simply an expert in his field (and also an expert in a field). He provides stunning value for the prices that he charges, and we found that he has a very flexible way of being engaged. We have asked Ben to give our garden the 'once over'. The walkabout we did with him was worth the money in itself as he re-affirmed where we had good and bad ideas. His suggestion of beech hedging is likely to save us money that would pay his fees many times over.

  While we are out of his preferred catchment he was still happy enough to undertake the review and will consider further works for us in due course.

  I will happily recommend his services and would urge anyone to give him the opportunity if you have not already done so.

  Adam Neal - Independent Financial Advisor

• "The Kensington Magazine is a small publication working from offices in Kensington Church St. We have an outside area which has little, if any, direct sun light. When we have clients visit us, we want the courtyard to look appealing. Its main difficulty is that it has very little direct sunlight.

  Impressed with Benedict Bull of Smart Landscapes’ credentials we approached Benedict to see if there was any salvation for this courtyard area, surrounded as it is on three sides by a five storey building. Our brief was simple - just to make it more appealing and to have plants which were better suited to a shady environment. We discussed the option of wooden trellises, various types of ivy which might work, variations of annuals, evergreens and deciduous plants and small shrubs. He came up with some great ideas which we had not thought of.

  Furthermore a few days later we received a schedule itemising all suitable plants and not only that but with suggestions of where to buy them from.

  The brief may not have sounded very much, but the way that Benedict advised and clearly knew so much, was very impressive.

  If you have a need for anyone who knows a tremendous amount about plants, planting, landscaping, the history of gardens, this is your man!

  I would have no hesitation in recommending Benedict and his company Smart Landscapes, for jobs big or small."
