Landscaping for pleasure
Designing gardens can be great fun and it’s a job that still gives me pleasure after more than 25 years in the business. Armed with the right information and some idea of the final look you are trying to achieve, there is absolutely no reason why your garden shouldn’t rival the best.
In talking to our customers I find that gardens are increasingly becoming extensions of our living space which are given the same consideration and thought as the interior of the house. Not only soft landscaping and planting schemes, but also the hard landscaping, furniture, ornaments and lighting.
At the centre of it all is a question of balance. Shape, form, colour and foliage have all got to be in concert, right for you and right for the plot of land.
In the following pages we take you through a number of case histories of gardens we’ve designed on behalf of our customers, some of whom have been with us for many many years.
Our experience extends through the range from classic to contemporary.... enjoy this newsletter and don’t hesitate to contact us if we can be of help.
