Effective garden lighting and creative lighting effects can subtly enhance the features in your garden while providing ambient light to entertaining areas. It should compliment and extend your internal living space and also highlight your gardens features when viewed from inside.

All construction is carried out to a very high standard by our in house construction team. With many years experience the quality and finish of all hard landscaping it outstanding. All work is carried out with the minimum disruption to you, we aim to work quickly and tidily while maintaining a high attention to detail. Specialist trades are brought in if required to insure a quality finish and also to fast track work if timings are critical.

A real calloborative effort in creating a truly wonderful garden. Having been engaged by designers Amy & Teresa to carry out the build, we first put together a 3D model to help visualise the finished garden. Flagstones with brick inlay details helped give the garden a traditional feel and complimented the gorgeous greenhouse from Alitex and the handsome rose arches from Harrod Horticulture.

We work with the client to develop a garden that suits their lifestyle and practical needs within a budget. A full brief is taken, detailing both the practical uses and the aesthetic look of the garden. We also look at materials and planting in more detail and look at the cost implications of these. Carry out a survey of the site including levels and heights and features to be retained in the garden. I will produce a large format scaled drawing of the front and rear garden. This may include structural specifications or construction drawings and will indicate areas of hard landscaping, and will suggest materials to be used.

We also work with developers, house builders and architectural companies to provide an external design service for planning purposes working closely with local councils and authorities. All work is then carried out to a very high standard using high quality materials that will need to stand up to high traffic use.
