Gardens Direct was formed by Alexander C Brothers to offer a creative, competitive and high quality garden design and landscaping service operating throughout Hertfordshire, Essex and the North London area. Alexander is well rooted in the gardening industry considering he grew up at his parent's garden center "Roots & Shoots", in Upminster, Essex. He spent his teenage years helping his father in the purchase and retailing of the garden center's huge range of plants. It was then that he developed his diverse knowledge of latin plant names along with their garden suitability.
From dining "al fresco" to topping up your tan. A deck lets you get the most out of the summer. It looks and feels warm underfoot, is versatile and blends well with many styles of architecture. The surface can be stained or left natural according to the effect you wish to achieve. Decking is absolutely ideal if your garden is uneven or on a slope. It's great for levelling out awkward spaces, as it's built on a structure. It can also have split levels and include steps. Gardens Direct have many years experience in constructing decks and use only high quality materials.
A real lawn can be difficult to maintain with all the pressures of modern living. Artificial fake grass will never need to be mowed or clipped and will make your garden look neat and smart all year round. In winter your real grass lawn will die and wither. If you have some of our amazing artificial grass installed, you wont have to worry about your lawn looking lifeless and unpleasant. We have found that if you have children in your household, getting fake grass is a great idea, because your children will no longer acquire grass stains on their clothing when they have been playing in the garden.
Gardens Direct realise just how important a carefully conceived design is to creating your dream garden. We know that good garden design is the art of making beautiful gardens so that every part fits harmoniously into the whole. Our skill is to transform ideas into plans and to choose each individual element in the garden composition with care. We will discuss garden styles, your priorities and ideas, survey the garden and then apply the design principles of unity, interest, rhythm and movement to create a professional & successful garden design plan.
