Testimonials
Blacklands - Mr Bentley
"We employed Jamie to deal with our garden project as he really understood our requirements and made some exciting and interesting suggestions in his initial design. Ian was punctual, pleasant and hardworking. We really couldn’t recommend crafted landscapes enough! I think with any large scale projects there are always bumps along the road but we were always kept informed and practical solutions were always found. The team at crafted landscapes dealt with all aspects of our garden including fencing, patio, decking, lawn, a bespoke water feature and the construction of high quality outbuildings. The project was undertaken over the winter months but me and my partner cannot wait to use the areas created in the spring. I have attached a before and after photo to give an idea of the quality of workmanship."

"We had a right shower do our patio (D&H) in desperation we sought another company Crafted Landscapes, what a difference! They were punctual, good value responsive and professional from the start and completed the works superbly. I’m very pleased with the finished project."
Rye
Mr & Mrs Clent
"CL were recommended by someone on Nextdoor Rye and Jamie was prompt in his response to our enquiry. We already had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to achieve but Jamie was very good at ironing out any problems and suggesting alternative ideas if our plan had to be adapted. The team were punctual, hardworking and courteous. Our garden had very heavy clay, most of which was removed to create more manageable beds at a variety of levels. We also introduced a wildlife pond which Jamie has ensured never floods the patio by including a soak away system. Overall we were really pleased with the end result and would recommend CL."

We are delighted with our deck installation by Jamie & Ian. Jamie has a real vision for design and detail and really cares about the finished product. He provided samples and web page links to show us the many options available and what would best suit our property, this filled us with confidence from the start. He consulted us at every step to make sure we were happy with every aspect of the design and nothing was too much trouble. Jamie & Ian are both helpful, reliable and super friendly and we would certainly recommend to anyone that is looking for someone that gives that extra attention to garden design."

Mr Henley
"We’re extremely pleased with the work Jamie and his colleague, Ian, have done on our garden, which has been completely transformed. What we needed was quite specific and in quite a limited amount of space. Jamie’s approach, from the start, was superb. He has a real can-do attitude, so unforeseen obstacles don’t daunt him. He works calmly around problems and every suggestion is taken on board with admirable positivity. At the same time, he was great at steering us tactfully away from duff ideas and bearing in mind the finished product. He’s a pleasure to have around - good company but unobtrusive and self-sufficient. He’s hard-working, totally reliable and highly creative, with great attention to detail and to the context of the job - particularly the fact that he was working in a small garden of an 18th century cottage. His drawings and plans were great. He was always instantly responsive and punctual. Jamie wasn’t the cheapest but he was quality and talent - therefore well worth the money, We’d whole-heartedly recommend him."

"We had a drainage problem at the side of our house and Jamie suggested we lay a stone pathway with a sleeper edge onto turf and created a new soakaway to fix the muddy mess that had got worse. we went away on holiday and when we got back he had finished to a very high standard and we are most pleased with the outcome."

Mrs Piper
"We were very unsure initially what we wanted to transform our back garden areas. We contacted Jamie who gave us plenty of ideas, for our Alfresco dining area he came up with the idea of re- using the clay which was dug up from the patio by building a unique earth wall with terracotta pots set inside for lighting candles (on those hot summer evenings). He has also built us two beautiful patio areas using Natural Indian Sandstone paving, ( this gave us housing for our hot tub) and additional outside dining areas, one has a hand built Pergola constructed by Jamie out of Solid Oak and has tensioned wires across the top for us to grow our climbers up and over. Jamie talked us through every step of the Job from start to finish, he turned up everyday at the right time, worked through all weathers, and used top quality materials. The cost was very reasonable considering the quality of his work and very high standards of perfection. We would not hesitate in recommending him in the future for anybody needing advice, creative ideas, design work / bespoke landscaping"

"We are so happy with your work - I love it! Once things are growing up around the screen, it's going to be a beautiful spot. Looking forward to the granddaughters and the rest of us sitting in the swing in the Spring and Summer (Autumn and Winter too probably!). Well done and thank you for transforming that corner of our garden. Fantastic work."

Mrs Wheeler
"I found this company to be very helpful, reliable and creative. Jamie came to see my garden within a few days of me contacting him for a consultation and gave me some excellent suggestions, which I then chose from. The work was all carried out within a couple of weeks, and all to an extremely high standard. I am so pleased and can not recommend Jamie highly enough."

Mrs Robinson
"Jamie has done an absolutely fabulous job on our back garden. Being large and sloped there was no structure to it which made planning and planting difficult. With Jamie’s ideas and suggestions we now have a gorgeous semi circle feature path made of oak sleepers all of the way around and a fantastic hand built pergola in the middle making the garden usable and practical at the same time. The best thing about Jamie is his pro-activeness, he got really stuck into our project and came up with lots of suggestions which he took us through and then helped us make a decision about what would suit us best. His work ethic is second to none, arriving promptly every morning and doing a full days work, the standard of work is incredible and having seen what we’ve had done my neighbours are now booking him as well. Thank you so much Jamie you’re a total star!"

Mr & Mrs Georgiou
"We found Jamie after he was recommended by other villagers on the ‘What’s on in Fairlight’ Facebook page and we were not disappointed. He has completely transformed our garden. He has vision and creativity which has resulted in a really lovely space for us to relax in and enjoy for years to come. The standard of the work he produces is excellent. He has a real talent and an eye for detail. He works incredibly hard throughout the duration of the project which was a huge task to take on as we have a very large garden. He consulted with us on a regular basis and always took our views on board, changing and adapting his plans to suit us and meeting our needs. Jamie is totally reliable, responsible and trustworthy. He arrived at the agreed time everyday as arranged and worked very long hours. We have no hesitation in using him again or recommending him for anyone’s landscape or designing project. Thank you Jamie!"

Mr & Mrs Donovan
"Jamie was recommended to us by a local builder he has worked alongside for some time. We had inherited 2 large patios that, when laid originally, were put straight onto earth using "dot and dab" so had no real substructure, had become uneven plus were prone to waterlogging after heavy rain and one section had been undercut by our natural pond so had started to tilt in towards the water. Jamie came up with a design that lifted the patios above water level with a good substructure, oak sleeper and gravel edges around natural Indian sandstone slabs with a couple of small flower beds built in. The work involved a fair bit of excavation and humping outgoing and incoming material by hand and barrow some distance as we could not get machinery to the site. We finessed some elements of the design as the work moved on but overall the final result was as close to the original plan as possible. We found Jamie responsive to our changes and he consulted us along the way as issues developed to ensure we were fully part of the process and approved as needed. We are well pleased with the end result and the new patios should outlast us! Would highly recommend Jamie."

Mr & Mrs Williams
We are absolutely delighted with the work carried out in our garden. Patio and path areas around a recently built conservatory.
Jamie and Aaron worked extremely hard and they were a pleasure to have around. They arrived early and worked a full day in all weathers.
Jamie shows a passion for what he does, from the design stage to the completed job. He has wealth of knowledge and ideas and overcomes any problems that arise with ease. He also shows great attention to detail.
At the end of the job, everything was left clean and tidy and all finished to a very high standard.
We shall be using them again to sort our front garden later in the year.
We would highly recommend Crafted Landscapes.

Mr & Mrs Spaggs
Jamie designed and built our outdoor kitchen/workspace utilising an unused area of the garden. Creating a flexible space for working outdoors on laptops and social BBQ’s in the summer and seasons beyond. Jamie’s attention to detail and flexibility with design and solutions during the build were invaluable with the quality of the end product. Whilst taking on a garden/outdoor space project could be daunting and stressful. Jamie’s communication, contact book and flexibility to work with ideas and propose new ones during and before the project, ensured the end project maximised the quality. Jamie and his colleague Ian are both very punctual, always attending on time and working to a consistent daily high standard. Jamie communicated the programmed activities for each day till completion and overcame any unknowns or material delays with solutions. My husband and I would recommend Jamie for any design and build outdoor space works with confidence. We have post completion received compliments from our friends and family who have since used the space with us.
