"We were fortunate to have Nichola Vague as our landscape designer for Fantail Farm in Clevedon, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. We had an ambitious staged development plan for our country home, that included a large subtropical natural pool area, tennis court and house extension all with landscaping. Nichola supported us superbly throughout the entire planning and briefing process. Nichola immediately understood what we wanted, then helped us craft briefs to communicate clearly to tradespeople. She developed a detailed masterplan, which provided the central blueprint which the entire team depended upon daily, including the pool builder and drainage/earthworks teams through to the electrician and concrete layers. Nicola’s expertise includes design flare initiating unique elements and ideas, while also providing practical leadership to ensure the team understands the brief and quality required. All this, plus she is a pleasure to work with, flexible and reliable in every way."
