"I was recommended Chris Bent through the website for the estate I live on.  I had moved into a brand new house with quite a sizeable garden which was basically soil.  At our initial meeting Chris took on board my ideas and prepared a plan which was exactly what I had in mind. 


Over the next 8 to 9 months the garden was developed.  Chris would happily listen to my ideas and would explain how we could achieve them.  I am really pleased with the result and friends and family are very complimentary and enjoy visiting and being in the garden. 


If you are looking for soft landscaping with colour and variety then I highly recommend Chris Bent - Need for Seed."
