Meet the Director Behind Plan B Garden Design: The Story of Boyd

Every beautifully crafted garden starts with a vision — and behind Plan B Garden Design, that vision belongs to Boyd. Known locally for his creativity, attention to detail, and down-to-earth approach, Boyd has built a reputation as the designer who truly listens, understands, and transforms gardens into spaces that people love to live in.

But his story began long before he created Plan B Garden Design.

From Passion to Profession

Boyd has always had an instinct for design. From early days sketching layouts and imagining how outdoor spaces could look, to hands-on work shaping landscapes, he’s lived and breathed garden design for years. What sets him apart isn’t just technical skill — it’s the way he sees possibility in every space.

Where others see a tricky slope, Boyd sees opportunity.Where others see an empty patch of mud, he sees structure, texture, planting, and flow.Where clients feel overwhelmed, he brings clarity, confidence, and a clear plan.

A Design Philosophy Built on Real Life

Boyd’s approach is simple:

✔ Beautiful gardens must also be functional

✔ They should reflect the client’s lifestyle, not just trends

✔ They need to be built properly, with quality that lasts

✔ And above all, the process should feel collaborative and stress-free

He understands the everyday reality of families, pets, BBQs, bikes, muddy boots, and the British weather. His designs don’t just look stunning on reveal day — they’re built to stand the test of time.

The Build: Where Design Becomes Reality

A huge part of Plan B’s success is the team Boyd leads.

He believes a garden is only as good as the craft behind it, which is why he works with a tight-knit, highly skilled team who share his standards: precision, pride, and professionalism.

Clients often comment on:

🌿 The friendliness of the team

🌿 Their respect for the home and neighbours

🌿 Their tidy, considerate working style🌿 And their commitment to making every detail perfect

It’s this balance of creative design and meticulous building that has made Plan B Garden Design a trusted name across Essex.

Local Roots, Local Reputation

Based in Earls Colne, Boyd is part of the community — often literally waving to neighbours from his van (or spotting them doing the same!).Many clients come through recommendations, because once a Plan B garden is created, it tends to attract attention… and compliments.

Boyd’s work can now be seen across Earls Colne, Chelmsford, Writtle, Broomfield, Beaulieu, and beyond — each garden unique, each built with purpose.

Why Plan B?

People ask where the name came from.The answer? Simple.

So many clients come to him after trying to “make do” with their garden. After DIY attempts. After quick fixes. After saying for years, “We’ll sort it next summer.”

Plan B represents the moment people decide they deserve better.A garden that works.A garden that feels like home.

A garden that finally gets it right.

Looking Ahead

Under Boyd’s direction, Plan B Garden Design continues to grow — more designs, more beautiful builds, and more happy clients who finally enjoy outdoor spaces that fit their lives.

Whether it’s a full redesign, a structural overhaul, or transforming a tired plot into something extraordinary, Boyd brings the same level of creativity and dedication to every project.
