A Selection of Pictures from Many Different Landscaping Projects.

You can click on any of these following pictures to see them enlarged.

Totally revamped garden that now incorporates a natural species hedge with a false (Trompe L'oeil) archway and gate on the main view line from the house living room. A small pond with a rock waterfall feature provides all year round interest and sound close to the existing patio and French-doors. New planting to all borders, a small area of decking in front of a new summerhouse made the finishing touch to make an interesting new garden for our clients.

 

 

A new slightly raised seating circle which is set in the corner with views over open fields to the treed landscape beyond. (Right)

 

 

 

 

 

 

This French style three-tiered bowl water fountain was the centrepiece of a courtyard at an elderly persons residential home. Many of the rooms overlook this area and the borders around were reshaped and planted with scented flower or foliage species along with roses and evergreen structure plants. Birds regularly come to drink at the fountain. (A friendly Robin perched on the top cone briefly while I was taking the picture).

 

 

 

New upper seating area with new retaining stone wall to bank behind.

All the bank was fully planted up and had soft and spot accent lighting installed to create interest all year round.

 

 

 

 

This is a side view of a much larger garden area. Both upper and lower patio areas were rebuilt and connecting steps constructed in a curve to link the two areas.

 

 

A small eye-shaped seating area of gravel enclosed by brick paver edgings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A small paved area abutts a gravel path and has a low stone wall at the rear. Constructed just to suit the clients bench.

 

 

Different colour gravels and slate used in conjunction with timber decking and a water feature to create an interesting shape and virtually maintenance free too.

 

 

 New Bradstone Wetherdale paving in "Weathered Cotswold" colour for an extended path and patio beside a new extension. A 20mm size golden flint path leads to a seating circle of similar slabs set off with a plum slate crescent edging the new lawn area. Clients will be planting to a new planting scheme though some climbing roses were retained on the fences.     

 

A new Marshalls "Heritage" Paving seating circle with graded height 100mm round treated poles behind. Alongside is a line of pleached Hornbeam trees with supporting wires and posts under-planted with perennials.

 

4 years of growth since this garden was planted shows how dogwoods and birch trees establish well and start to grow. (Below)
