Planting Plans:
Plants are the heart of the garden and can give you great pleasure. When planning the planting arrangements for your garden, we take into account many factors to ensure that the plants selected are appropriate for the situation, the aspect of the garden, the type of soil and the hardiness. We also consider any maintenance requirements, ensuring that they are appropriate for you.
We would look first at what is already in your garden to see what can be retained or is best moved and what, if any, pruning is needed. A plan is then drawn up to include, where appropriate, trees, shrubs, perennials, climbers, annuals and bulbs. We look at the height and colour of plants and flowers as well as the size and texture to give contrast and a long season. Every effort is made to ensure year-round interest and colour.
Where required, we would add compost or fresh top soil and also organic mulch to reduce the level of weeding required.
We also carry out tree and hedge work.
Hard Landscaping:
The main structure of the garden is the hard landscaping, whether it is for leisure, such as patios, decks and raised beds, or more functional, such as paths and utility areas etc. As any hard landscaping is likely to be in your garden for many years, we consider it vital that it is well constructed and with good solid foundations.
We lay all kinds of patios, including natural sandstone, slate and limestone as well as pressed concrete products. Whatever the material chosen, our patios are laid on a full mortar bed on a compacted sub-base.
Decks are a perennial favourite and can be construced of softwood or hardwood. Again, the sub-base is a very important factor to ensure a long life and we always use pressure-treated timber and strong concrete foundations. Wherever possible, we use hidden fittings for a cleaner finish.
Walls, fences and raised beds as well as other garden features, such as stone circles, pergolas etc are also part of our portfolio.
