A childhood love of the outdoors pointed the way to landscape
design as a career for Simon Gray, who started Transform Landscapes
in 1988.
Now, twenty years later and with numerous successful projects behind us, the Transform team is at your disposal. Our
unique blend of design excellence, creative yet realistic planting
schemes and dedication to exceeding customer expectations has successfully
transformed privately owned gardens and estates, corporate landscapes
and public amenities alike.
We combine the best of contemporary, traditional and classical
ideas to achieve a look matched to the unique needs of each client.
It is a creative journey for both of us which starts with Transform
listening very carefully to your ideas. We are excited about the
opportunity of working together and want to clearly understand your
aspirations, concerns or time constraints and, of course, available
budget.
Transform Team
Transform are fortunate to inspire strong staff loyalty in an
industry that is characterised by high staff turnover. Most of our
staff have been with us for a number of years and share our philosophy
of excellence. They are a team of individual specialists who use
the most effective equipment available to achieve outstanding results
and are ingenious with challenging or difficult access sites.
In a recent, independent survey clients told us they appreciate
our courtesy, enthusiasm and commitment. We take care to minimise
disruption to your daily activities and always aim to leave your
property tidy at the end of a working day. All Transform staff wear
a uniform and arrive in signed vans so your personal security is
not compromised.
