Terra Firma Landscapes under the hands-on direction of Luke Richards, its founder, is exemplary in their focus driven approach to transforming the stalest of gardens into a thing of welcome and beauty.
We recently needed to fill in a small disused pond, replace a tired old-fashioned fence and a pergola that had seen better days. As a couple of a certain age, we could not visualise what transformation might look like and felt both uncertain and frustrated. Enter Luke Richards, the most charming, likeable, empathetic and altruistic of people who clearly has the uncanny knack for reading people and situations quickly and communicating with warmth and respect.
Luke took charge, produced with speed a design and plan within our budget which we immediately accepted. The teams he sent: Ryan & Jack on tree surgery, George & Egzon on pond conversion, and Sam & Danny on fence and pergola installation are all a credit to Luke and the company he has created. They were efficient, good natured, tidy, perfectionists with a positive attitude. Luke has even offered, out of contract, to pop in to begin retraining my wisteria on the pergola.
We wholeheartedly recommend, without reservation, Luke Richards and his team at Terra Firma.
We have already asked Luke to produce a plan for redesigning our garden space that accommodates our special circumstances. My partner loves the garden but can no longer manage the jobs that brought him such pleasure.
Attached are photos of our fence and pergola and fingers crossed, will share photos of the transformed garden next year.
