Sally Casley
“Asking Sally and her team to come and transform our garden has to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made! We needed an expert who cares. Sally planned with us for around 3 months with designs and drawings and then executed superbly, as our photos demonstrate ( showing before and after). There was no hard sell and we had found a commercial partner who truly understood what we were after. We’re writing this review exactly a year after it was completed and the results are just lovely. Sally and the team designed the irrigation system and we have a thriving, bee-friendly oasis. We couldn’t have asked for more and we cannot recommend Sally and team more strongly. We still keep in touch - she is that kind of person!”
“We moved into a house in Oxted with a large garden that was too much maintenance for us to handle and had therefore become very overgrown, with various old structures and plant supports falling to pieces. We got in touch with Sally to help design our planting areas with maintenance and practicality in mind, whilst also removing/ replacing old structures and a greenhouse. The whole patio was also jetwashed/repointed. The garden has been transformed from a neglected space which we didn’t spend time in to a family friendly place of enjoyment. The planting scheme has been thoughtfully designed to fit with our lifestyle and we're delighted with the end result. Sally and her team were fantastic throughout. They were super helpful, quick to deliver on a large scale, and just generally brilliant to work with. Sally was also creative and proportionate with her solutions and ideas. She didn't try to create work/ cost where it wouldn't be needed and she proposed different solution ideas for different cost levels. If you're thinking of doing a garden redesign, or other project work in your garden, get in touch with Sally. We're delighted we did so.”
“I found Sally through her website and was immediately struck by the outstanding work she had delivered for so many people. It was clear from the very first conversation that she brings a rare combination of professionalism, energy, and creative flair to every project she takes on. Throughout the entire process, Sally and her team were a pleasure to work with. Communication was clear and consistent, ideas were thoughtful and well‑considered, and every detail was handled with real care. They took the time to understand what we wanted, offered expert guidance, and approached the transformation of our front garden with genuine enthusiasm.The end result has exceeded all expectations. Our front garden has been transformed. We couldn’t be more delighted with the outcome!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the transformation Sally and her team have made with our garden. We’ve gone from wanting to move, to wanting to stay put. She completely understood our brief which was to create more practical, safer garden for a young family and has created a much more useable and all round lovely space where our toddler can now play and we can sit out and enjoy, especially during the hot summer we’re having. The planting is so well thought out and still keeps the cottage garden feel we wanted. The whole team were so friendly too and a real pleasure to have around - we actually missed them when they’d gone! 100% the best decision we’ve made to use Sally’s expert design and planting skills - thank you!”
“Sally has transformed our garden. From the outset, she fully listened to our brief and came up with some great creative suggestions to give our garden year round interest. Her choice of plants, incorporating some of our own suggestions, are perfect and as the garden matures the borders continue to surpass our expectations. Sally and her team have been a pleasure to deal with throughout - reliable both on time and on budget. Thank you”
“We have been at our house for 35 years and our garden had tired overcrowded look and required excessive maintenance. Sally has transformed our garden, bringing fresh pragmatic ideas. She listened to our requirements and rapidly produced a realistic design that met all our requirements and surprised us with what we were able to achieve. without any expense she created a new entertainment area. She has significantly reduced the mandatory amount of time we will have to spend tending the garden annually. She has sharpened up some of the old borders and introduced new ones that have given the garden the focal points that it needed. Sally was a great find.”
“I’ve used Sally Casley several times over the years, for projects big and small, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. She’s very friendly, professional, and gives creative ideas that are also practical and achievable. I trust her completely to make the right decisions for my garden. And I especially appreciate the reminder to put away my irrigation timer before the first frost of the year!”
“Back in 2023 we approached Sally as our garden was looking tired and boring. We wanted an outdoor space where we could entertain and just chill at the weekend. The design that Sally came back to us with literally blew us away. Work began in 2024 and her team were just amazing. Now in 2026 I’m sitting in my garden enjoying the sun and the sound of bees buzzing around the flowers and I have to say what a joy our garden is now. Thank you Sally. Mike & Adriana”
“Highly recommend Sally Casley for her garden design and her hard landscaping contractors. Created the decking, stone wall and terraced planting, with a garden irrigation system that kept our new plants live through the summer drought. High quality outcome and great to work with.”
“Everyone comments on our wonderful garden. Thank you Sally and team for creating it.”
“Lucky enough to live locally to where Sally works and wouldn’t use anyone else for projects in our garden. Always prompt, friendly and we couldn’t be happier with all the various works that have been completed over the years. Would and have recommended to many!”
“The design plan was thoughtful, creative, and perfectly suited to our space. Sally and her team all have great plant knowledge and gave really helpful advice on what would work best in our garden, which made a huge difference to the final result. Communication was always clear, timely, and professional, and the planning process was handled seamlessly. Everything was delivered within the cost quoted, with no surprises, and the level of customer service was truly impeccable. We’re absolutely delighted with the result and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for garden design and landscaping work.”
“Sally and her team transformed our garden with a beautiful design and planted it 3 years ago and it has got better and better as the years have gone on. We couldn’t recommend her more highly. She has always been on hand for advice on upkeep and improvements. Highly recommended!”
“Sally and her brilliant team re-designed and transformed our garden into a beautiful but also practical space which serves all the needs of our family. The choice of flowers, shrubs and foliage look amazing together and give something interesting and colourful in every season. We couldn’t be happier with the result!”
“I have worked with Sally and her team for the last couple of years. When we moved into our house 3 years ago the garden was was full of brambles but no plants or colour. Working with Sally and her team was so easy - they took on board all our thoughts, understood our issues with the clay wet soil we have, appreciated that I am not an experienced gardener and require minimal maintenance!! I loved their design process as it made it so easy to understand and visualise and the whole team were so helpful from the design phase through to planting. Could not recommend Sally enough.”
“We are delighted with the planting and landscape design from Sally and her team. They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish - super professional, knowledgeable and talented. We worked with Sally to design both our front and back garden and are delighted with the result.”
“We are absolutely delighted with the transformation Sally and her team have made to some of our beds. They were looking tired and overgrown, and Sally completely reimagined a large area we’d previously used as a sandpit for years. We now have beautiful colour throughout the garden and best of all the bees are back! If you’re looking for someone professional, reliable, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about what they do, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sally Casley Garden Design.”
“Sally’s work is beautiful. She redesigned our front driveway so that it’s not only stunning, but also so much more practical than it was. Sally is clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about landscaping and she was an absolute pleasure to work with.”
“I am absolutely in love with what Sally planned and made happen in our garden. Her ideas were just what we were after, understanding the need to balance the kids’ demands (that the garden is largely a football pitch!) whilst making sure there are bits of gorgeousness that I can look at. She had some amazing simple touches that transformed the look of the garden into something I am proud of.”
“Sally’s designs were great - they were both creative and sympathetic to our budget. Once the build was completed, Sally and team did all the planting to create an immediate effect which has blossomed over time and looks beautiful. We were very satisfied with the result and would highly recommend Sally’s services.”
“Thank you so much for your personal assistance on our project. Your staff is excellent, so hard working and lovely with it. I am sure we will see more of them in the future as we do our best to keep our garden looking lovely. Cannot wait for Spring!”
“We are so delighted with how it has all turned out and cannot thank you enough. You guys have been fab.”
“The team are full of knowledge and hard work as well as a pleasure to speak to.”
Our work
We design beautiful, functional gardens for modern lifestyles, making the most of every space while creating real wow factor. From terraces to outdoor kitchens, garden rooms and play spaces, every element is thoughtfully incorporated into the overall design so that it feels cohesive and considered.
Plants are at the heart of everything we do. Our extensive horticultural knowledge and experience means we have a deep understanding of the plants which can successfully handle our new climate – coping with very hot summers and really wet winters. A professional planting design means your garden will look good all year round.
Once your garden design is finalised, our experienced team brings it to life, managing and carrying out the construction from start to finish. From patios, paths and garden rooms to planting, lighting and irrigation, we take care of every detail to bring the design to life.
Climate change is certainly impacting gardens, and even the most drought tolerant plants need some watering to survive our hot summers. As soon as we have planted your garden, we install pressurised dripline irrigation so that your plants can establish their roots and flourish. We also retro-fit established gardens with dripline irrigation.
We want our gardens to be full of life, welcoming wildlife and pollinators while still working beautifully for people, pets and children. We choose robust, reliable plants suited to their conditions, avoiding unnecessary chemicals, and we make sensible choices about peat-free soil, recyclable plant pots and water usage wherever we can.
