Services
Everything below is quoted in writing, with the materials named. If a job needs a trade we do not carry, we say so rather than attempting it.
Design and build
Garden design
A measured survey, a scale drawing and a planting plan. Yours to keep and to build from, whoever builds it.
Patios and paving
Indian sandstone, porcelain and block paving, laid on a full mortar bed over a compacted sub base with proper falls away from the house.
Steps, walls and edging
Retaining walls, brick and stone steps, and the edge details that stop a lawn creeping into a border.
Planting and lawns
Borders and hedging
Planted into ground that has actually been prepared, with plants chosen for the soil and the light in your garden rather than the ones in the trade catalogue.
Turf and seeded lawns
Levelled, drained where it needs it, and laid on a proper depth of topsoil.
Trees
Specimen planting with irrigation and staking, plus reductions and removals through a qualified arborist.
Keeping it right
Fencing and gates
Close board and feather edge on concrete posts, and hardwood gates made to the opening rather than to the nearest stock size.
Garden maintenance
Fortnightly or monthly visits: mowing, edging, border work, hedge cutting and seasonal pruning.
Drainage
Land drains, soakaways and channel drains for gardens that sit wet through the winter.
