"We'd had three quotes from local 'designers' who sent back a mood-board and a four-figure bill. Sarah turned up with a clipboard, climbed into the hedge, asked how we actually use the garden, and came back with a plan we genuinely loved. A year later, it's everyone's favourite room."Matt Holloway · Shalford, GU4
"Porcelain patio laid in two weeks. Spotless work. No drama."
"Took down a massive oak and left the lawn looking untouched. Remarkable."
"Full front garden redesign. Passers-by stop to photograph it now."
Sarah Green trained at Capel Manor, spent five years at the RHS, and started Green Gates in 2017. Today the team is four strong — Sarah designs, two landscapers build, and a qualified arborist handles the tree work.
BALI membership, RHS Level 3 horticulture, NPTC chainsaw tickets. Every project includes a scaled plan, a written quote, and a 12-month aftercare visit.
We design gardens for the ten years ahead, not the first summer's Instagram post.
