General Landscaping

A complete transformation of a blank canvas belonging to a recently built house. The natural stone paving here blends in with the modern brickwork of the property. To add interest the eye is drawn to the raised lawn and natural stone pathways which link key areas of the garden.

A low maintenance garden which used to be grass! Raised paved area from fossil mint natural stone surrounded by golden flint gravel and with various architectural planting.

A mixture of natural stone, turf and new railway sleepers amongst dry stone walling on two levels makes an old cottage garden come to life.
View pictures before the garden was transformed. As you will see the garden looked like a building site after the cottage had been extended.

A garden with an embankment can be transformed into an interesting tiered landscape, providing the perfect stage for many attractive features including cosy seating areas, water features, array of planting and effective lighting to bring these features to life at night.

Here, original features have been retained and the garden is designed with low maintenance in mind. A large turfed area is practical for their young family, also incorporated is a raised planter and a contained play area with play grade bark chippings.

A raised timber decking area housing a timber swing seat provides the perfect place to view the entire garden which catches the evening sun. The nearby self contained water feature cascades over a natural stone boulder seated in a raised bed created from original railway sleepers. Blue slate surrounds various grasses within this bed and both features are lit effectively by low voltage halogen rock lights. At the foot of the newly laid turf is a natural stone patio of four different sized slabs, positioned in random pattern & boasting a profusion of natural colour.

An alternative to a grassed front lawn. An octagonal centre feature with boulders and oak logs (conveniently felled by strong winter winds) surrounded by alpine planting and ornamental grasses. To the side, a natural stone cobble border with broken slate and dwarf alpine conifer.

A gently sloping garden was levelled and split into two tiers making the garden more interesting and practical. Hard wearing turf was laid for regular use and a natural stone patio was given privacy by new decorative fence panels above an existing low wall.
