Thoughtful gardens, built to last

Hook Garden Design is led by Andy Hook, whose background spans design, photography and construction. This combination of creative and technical experience gives him a clear understanding of how to translate an idea from concept into a well-resolved physical space. Working alongside his team, Andy remains closely involved throughout the build, helping to ensure that the original design intent is carried through to completion.

From the beginning, we found Andy professional and supportive in helping us decide what we wanted. He took on board our thoughts and designed a garden plan which was just what we had envisaged. During the building stage we found him reliable and hardworking throughout. He suggested various changes to the original plan, which we agreed to include, and implemented these too which have improved again the layout of the garden. Andy was very detailed in his costings too and the project came in bang on budget. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is looking at a design and build garden project.
