Does anyone know where I can find a someone who can re design my garden and/or a builder who does gardens who is happy to suggest things?

I need my garden sorting out and re arranging and dont know where to start.

Thanks @That-Crazy-Rat-Lady for recomending Lisa and @littleme for recommending arthur.

However it's not a gardener that I need as I can do that myself (spent 2 hours yesterday and an hour today in the garden).

It's the removal of a patio area, removal of coal bunker, moving a log store.
Patio building somewhere else, I want a gazebo type structure to give us a bit of privacy.

I want an area built where the patio area is now to be a separate area. At the moment it's near the bins and I want this area to be separate from the rest of the garden so I need either a fence/trellis putting up with an arch to the rest of the garden or large shrubs.

It will also require my small pond to be moved.
I want to turn my brick shed into a garden room.


I just need someone to design it with a drawn out plan and then a garden builder to put it together.

Thanks for including me and although I pride myself at having a go at most garden things i think this is more suited to someone with builder experience and someone with amuscles the size of popeye.

Next door had their garden re-modelled by them and I've used them for tree work very reasonable.

Well John Watson came round and said he didnt want the job. At least he was honest, he said the job was too big. He gave me the phone number of someone else though.

Willowbrook came round, said I really needed a garden designer but that he would quote for the some of the work. Removing the coal bunker, moving the log store and a few other jobs.
2 weeks later I am still waiting for the quote.

Back to sqaure one.
Although my friend came round who designed her own lovely garden and did a design for me a piece of A4. Not to scale and not verty well drawn but probably saved me £1000. At least I have an idea of what is needed now.

If you have an ideas of what you want could you design something yourself on paper and get someone to do the labour, it's what I did along with doing some work ourselves it worked out a lot cheaper, with sourcing and buying own materials etc.

Well I did have a sort of idea what I want but I need an expert to tell me if it is viable or, if they have any better ideas.

The two that came had NO ideas but my friend has drawn something on paper for me.

Excellent ideas that I would never have thought of.
