Once the hard landscaping is complete, it's time to plant.

But most experienced gardeners only occasionally plant a garden from scratch. Consult us about your planting needs; we will submit an outline plan & budget for your approval. So why not look at the gallery and contact us for a no-obligation chat about your requirements? We guarantee you'll be on your way to beautiful plants in the places where they thrive and proliferate.

Ponds, rills, fountains and other water features can be constructed by our team to your design, or we can dream up something sensational for you that's unique to your garden and your needs.

If you are creating a garden from scratch or re-designing an existing plot this series will help you. It contains useful tips on the intricacies of garden design. It's not rocket-science - all you need is heaps of enthusiasm and patience. It's a good idea to read as many gardening books and magazines as you can, to familiarise yourself with plants that you may have heard of. And, don't forget to visit gardens and flower shows for ideas. If you have just bought a well-established garden, live with it for one year i.e spring, summer, autumn, winter.

Martin Gordon Landscapes Ltd can design and construct a bespoke pergola for you, or we can source, supply and construct pre-made pergolas. Pergolas are garden features that make a shaded walkway or a sitting area - very similar to arbours or gazebos. They can be a series of arches or vertical posts or pillars supporting cross-beams, often with a latticework providing a structure on which roses, clematis or vines are trained. As a walkway, a pergola may extend from a building's door to an open garden feature such as a terrace or pool.

Mellow stone gives a garden a feeling of solidly reassuring permanence, whether it's backed by a stately home or a modern estate house. We are experienced in working with stone - everything from finding you an artistic feature stone for the centre of the lawn to crafting you a beautiful stone wall in any style you choose. Martin Gordon Landscapes can advise you on the colour options, and will seek out a speciality stone if you wish. At the other end of the scale we can introduce you to reconstituted stone that looks like natural stone but is far less expensive; the reconstituted stone we use is created from authentic masters so it has a beautifully defined riven stone surface and natural edges and comes in a number of attractive colours, suitable to match or complement brick or stone buildings.

Just like the paving in your garden, the material for your driveway should reflect your garden style. The driveway material should complement the exterior of your home, the materials used for your boundaries, and any special statuary features within the garden. Driveways are often neglected, but can easily be transformed to create an attractive approach to your home. Improving the appearance of your property can add value and be a good selling feature. Everyday decisions such as creating driveways and vehicle parking areas, can have environmental consequences.

Martin Gordon Landscapes can supply all grades of turf for the small or large garden lawn. We can help you make the right choice of grass types. We only use the best quality turf and source locally where possible. Consult us about your lawn needs; we will submit an outline plan & budget for your approval. So why not look at the gallery, browse our services and contact us for a no-obligation chat about your requirements? At Martin Gordon Landscapes we believe that the best garden and landscape, that lasts for years, can only be achieved through quality garden design and professional landscape construction.

Do you have a lawn that floods regularly? Perhaps you have driveway that doesn't drain properly, or simply require a watering system for your green house, pots or lawn. We can help you plan and install.

Martin Gordon Landscapes Ltd works to the highest standard from start to finish, whether a full garden design is constructed, or smaller individual elements are built, such as patios, fencing, ponds and pergolas, paths, and raised beds. We can also provide landscape gardening solutions for special needs, such as disabled access, sensory gardens and low maintenance gardens, even gardens planted to deter intruders! We have a diverse portfolio, which we would like to show you, and we also love to explore new ideas.

It's time to plant once the hard landscaping is done. This is where so many people have problems, and even experienced gardeners can find that a plant fails to thrive, or becomes a bully and swamps more delicate specimens. But most experienced gardeners only occasionally plant a garden from scratch. That is where our expertise lays; Martin Gordon Landscapes creates new gardens and beds every day. We know what works in your district, what works in the conditions in your garden (sun, shade, soil type, moisture levels, exposure to wind), and where we can source the plants that best suit those conditions and your vision for your garden.

Hard landscaping is the backbone of your garden - it can include paths, driveways, garden walls and patios, arches, pergolas, arborsandgazebos, raised beds and water features as well as lighting and artistic touches that are built in. A wide range of hard landscape materials can be involved, such as wood, brick, stone and reconstituted stone products, gravel, concrete, glass, metals etc. Hard landscaping can also describe outdoor furniture and other landscape products. Hard landscaping is all about improving the aesthetic appearance of a piece of land by changing its contours and adding ornamental features.

Following the homeowner's wishes, the creative landscaper uses his or her skill and experience to overcome planning and construction issues that may arise. The Martin Gordon Landscapes team works flexibly as the new garden evolves, delivering honest advice and the professional service you deserve, in a friendly approachable manner. From small features to an entirely new landscape, we will work closely with you to create a garden that will fulfil your expectations. We are happy to work on domestic gardens, from the smallest to the largest, communal residential gardens, and the grounds of schools, homes and other institutions.

Just like the flooring in your home reflecting your style, the paving should reflect your garden style. The paving should complement the exterior of your home, the materials used for your boundaries, and any special statuary features within the garden. Anywhere you walk and need hard standing underfoot, is where you need paving, areas such as, patios, terraces, pathways and working or utility spaces. There is a very wide choice of paving materials available. From natural stone, Sandstone, Travertine, Granite and Slate, to name a few, to man-made paving, there is something for everyone, every garden and every budget.

Garden walls are needed for many reasons: to define boundaries, to provide retainment and to divide areas within the garden. The walls can be constructed from several types of material, such as, brick, stone, concrete block and render, wooden sleepers - recycled railway, oak or softwood. New or recycled brick and stone work is our speciality and we can fulfil any design, shape or finish. Using tried and tested resources, construction materials and machinery - as well as other craftsman and trades that we can be sure of - Martin Gordon Landscapes is able to deliver good value for money, working within your budget in a versatile way.
