" Working with Guy was easy. He has vision and understanding of how to enhance an environment. He also has clear ideas of how to develop land for the benefit of a community. Guy and his team at green worked long hours to ensure that deadlines were met and the price quoted for the job was the sum paid on completion.
All stakeholders at Blakedown CE Primary School have been delighted with the improvements made to the school grounds and look forward to green’s return at some time in the future ."

"I have been into school this week to see the place and was quite overcome by the impact the structures have made to the ambience of the school. It is a real credit to your team for being able to mould the opinions, ideas and energy of our students into producing something something so good."

From Marcia Palmer Headteacher of Harvington First School

"Guy Redmond is the designer of our Adventure Area. He took the dreams and ideas, the plans and pictures and transformed our dull, flat school field, into an adventure area second to none.
Guy valued the commitment of the children as they dug, planted and demanded more jobs! He cajoled mums and dads, governors and staff as they worked at a weekend. He organised quality tradesmen to do the hard landscaping. He never panicked! Even with foot and mouth and torrential rain.

His easy manner belied his deep knowledge of plants and design, and his immense creative talents. We worked well together as a team – modifying, revising as necessary.

Guy provided the vision and also helped me to provide the cash!

A designer, person, gardener par excellence!"
