About you and your business ( please complete)

I established Chameleon Design in 2003 after working as a landscape architect for 8 years. Garden design has always been a passion and I have been very privileged to be able to indulge this love in some fantastic commissions with wonderful clients over the years. I work mainly around my home town of Cheltenham, including all of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Bath & Bristol, but have also worked as far afield as Hampshire and North Yorkshire. My designs range from traditional country house gardens, to contemporary gardens which complement cutting edge architecture. I'm as happy coaxing the most from a tiny urban backyard as I am planning layouts for rolling acres: each has their own challenges & rewards. Wildlife gardening is a particular interest; however I strongly believe that the design should respond to the clients' brief and the site, and will never impose my preferences on a design.

"Out of interest what are you spraying to get rid of the moss, how many times a year do you apply and do you find you still need manual removal or are the chemicals good enough?

Hi Rose

Its funny, your post has spurred me on to amend our buying guide for sawn paving to stipulate that "sawn paving cannot be buttjointed". We've got a great range of sawn paving but if you need advise on products by other manafacturers as well, dont hesitate to ask

All the best Steve

Hi Rose,

Yes it would be good to have a look round, instead of peeping over the wall! My client is away until Friday 23rd, hopefully all the hard landscaping will be finished by then. We are planning to have all the planting done by the end of November if you wanted to wait until it's finished.

Hi Rose,

Thanks for the encouragement. Supply of he right materials was difficult at the start but everything now seems to be back on track.

Hope yours goes well, perhaps I could pop round some time and have a sneaky peek?
