Landscape architecture is primarily an art… whose function is to create and protect the beauty in the vicinity of human settlements and, more broadly, in the natural scenery of the country.

Nikola was excellent from the moment we first met, fully focused in the briefing with both creative flair and drive, nothing was impossible.
Throughout the project she was able to keep the vision alive and everything she said would happen, happened. She brought to life a very concrete exterior with clever use of green walls and a mix of different plants, softening the space and creating the ideal outside space for the family home.
We will be working together again and I will be recommending her to all contacts interested in transforming their exteriors.

I met with Nikola when she was working in London. I asked her to design and make the material specifications for refurbishment works on my clients’ garden.
She prepared a few versions of the project. During the works, she amended it for the clients’ needs and suggestions without any problems or additional charges. She keeps control of every aspect of building activity and reacts immediately if any problems occur. My clients and I very much like her attitude to ecology, shown in the design of rainwater recovery systems.
Without any hesitation, I can recommend Nikola to everyone who wants a unique garden with the personal touch of this lovely architect.

It is a great pleasure for me and our team to work with Nikola, who designs gardens for our customers at PFG Landscape & Garden Design. Nikola skilfully adapts our ideas to the character of the landscape and its plantings, and at each step offers a variety of ideas to achieve our clients’ wishes.
The result is always above our expectations and brings our customers satisfaction. She is an upbeat, creative and competent designer who delivers an imaginative product on time. Without her creativity, professionalism and energy our company would not have been so successful.

Questions
How much does a typical project cost?
The cost will mainly depend on the size of the garden and the complexity of your needs. The quality of work and materials is also very important. From the very beginning we can establish a budget you feel comfortable with and find a solution that meets your requirements and creates the design you would like to see.
A garden project can be estimated at roughly 10% of the value of the build.
How long does a project take and how soon can we start?
Garden projects can take weeks or months to complete, and that is after you have been on a waitlist. It also depends on the size of the property, the scope of works and its difficulty. Each project is different.
Once I start working on the design, it should not take more than a couple of weeks to finalise the drawings. After your feedback, I apply the changes aligned with your needs.
The most common mistakes when designing a garden on your own
- No space development. We often clutter the green space without knowing it, especially in small gardens, where clutter makes the garden seem even smaller.
- Not enough time. When we feel rushed we arrange quickly and inaccurately, and gardens that keep getting postponed never get finished.
- Inappropriate materials. We often look at appearance and price but overlook quality. Choose good quality materials that suit the house and are easy to clean.
- No functionality. Without knowing how to use the potential of the garden, we end up not using it smartly.
- No specific vision and mixed styles. We like many different things, but they are not always consistent with each other.
