What does landscaping include and entail ?

Initial consultation will include Hugh meeting with the client and discussing the ethics and skills that the company has to offer, with a brief history of how the company was established. This will be followed by Hugh carrying out a personal site survey and listening to the wishes of the client.

We will establish whether the garden is to be themed ie traditional or contemporary or whether a practical family garden is required. Practical considerations such as privacy, shelter or issues such as poor soil, high water table etc will also feature. We will build up a picture of how to create the right scheme for the garden.

A proposal will be formed on the day, initially using sketches. This may be followed up with formal scaled drawings where required. Samples of products will be brought to site so that the client can appreciate the texture and colour of these products. It is important to be sure that both the hard and soft landscaping products blend with the surroundings.

Full and detailed costings will be provided with start dates and time scales fully discussed. Past contracts will be made available so that the client can personally inspect the quality on offer.

We will also discuss our eco credentials and ethical purchasing initiatives.

THE INSTALLATION

TOWN GARDEN
  We carry out complete makeovers of small town gardens. This may include raised planters, discreet lighting and detailed patios. Often lawns are replaced for ease of maintenance with a welcoming atmosphere created by running water and beautiful scented plants.
COUNTRY GARDEN
  The sound of tyres on a gravel driveway, the scent of wysteria lingering in the air, the sound of leather and willow coming together. These are images of a country garden, impressive in scale but understated as only the very best can be. We have a huge appreciation of larger country homes and gardens having been privileged by many commissions during the past twenty years. Natural stone walling framing a natural Yorkstone patio with antigue stone adornments aplenty, this is an old and precious place to be. We source reclaimed materials from the width and breadth of the country. These are installed along with modern products in a fusion both comfortable and discreet. Our years of experience can help you enhance even the most special of homes.
DRIVEWAYS
  To suit all needs, from the modern finish of polished slate to the traditional cobble edged gravel driveways of the cotswolds. We have the expertise and equipment to enhance your home with a complete new driveway . We also offer a refurbishment and driveway extension service. Please ask we will be able to help.
FAMILY GARDEN
  Here our considerations need to satisfy many needs. Children will want a smooth but hardy lawn to become the Beckhams of tomorrow whilst Mom and Dad  want a haven in which to relax whilst chatting about the days events. Again our expertise runs to creating stylish new patios with beautiful manicured lawns framed by profusely stocked borders. We often redesign a garden around a new extension or conservatory.
From ponds to lighting and including pergolas and garden buildings we can build the garden of your dreams.
