Deep freeze!

Well having finally made it out of the so-called cold snap! we are back to work doing some landscaping for a client we have worked for in the past. The client wanted designs creating for her garden and an inner courtyard area to make the most of their potential for entertaining.Once the designs had been approved we set to work to bring her dreams and inspirations to reality.Using a combination of Indian sandstone for the paving and some treated timber to create a pergola feature in the main area we demonstrated how by dividing areas to give them their own purpose can make the most of any garden and that by adjusting levels you get something more than just a patio.Our clients have been tremendous in their patience due to the bad weather and for this we thank them.We hope we will be leaving them with their dreams realised to its maximum potential.

Garden Design

A trained designer will help you make the most of your garden, whatever its size and shape. We will listen to your ideas and the effects you want to achieve, then use our knowledge and experience to help you realise them within the boundaries of your own budget. We have a strong working knowledge of all the available materials and techniques and which of these will suit your current environment. With an in-depth knowledge of materials we can also provide an approximated guide price when first consulting with a client; we feel this often puts a client at ease, as there are no grey areas. A full and accurate written quotation is then provided alongside the final design for the customer to review.Because we have seen many transformations, it is easier for us to envisage how everything will look at the end, according to the choices you make.We can create a long-term plan that you can build in stages.And we can help make sure that everybody loves your new garden, not just you!

Planting

Planting is generally the last job, and often we recommend that customers have a personal input into this themselves, as we believe evry customer and job should be individual. Many customers find this a fulfilling way of taking ownership of their new garden; of course our advice is always at hand.For the customer who wishes to progress at this stage on their own we can provide a planting plan if desired to offer a little support. The plan suggests plants and locations that work together and give you something to draw the eye all year round.

Specialist Services

Walling adds structure to your garden, creating features, paths and distinct areas which characterise the professionally landscaped garden. Although we can build in brick, we normally find that stone gives a special atmosphere that everyone finds more attractive. We use natural Derbyshire Grit sandstone, with a mix of stone sizes and discreet mortar which gives a drystone effect, warm and full of interest. The stones we use are left over from quarrying operations.
