The clients garden backs onto the river trent. Unfortunately the bank side was looking a bit scruffy and access was getting difficult. So the solution was to build up some terracing using inverted sleepers to get some nice curves. Gentle steps were then added to make the access easier. The idea is to slowly progress along the bank side.
The client had an old pond and waterfall that leaked, surrounded with vey old and tired paving. As they loved sitting watching their fish, they really felt it badly needed renovating. So with not going away because of the Coronavirus epidemic, they wanted to spend the money making the pond area a nice place to enjoy for summer.
The client wanted to move his hot tub next to his shed but the existing decking was too weak to take the weight. He also wanted it covered with a gazebo for all weather use. The client wanted Indian stone to match existing pathways, so we laid the patio with Raj Green Indian stone. We then erected a gazebo over it ready house the hot tub.
The client felt the front of her house was looking a bit tired. Not much ever grew well due to shady north facing aspect, so we cleaned out the old bed and added fresh soil and rocks. We then planted up with shade loving plants. For a dramatic look we added three tree ferns and under planted with evergreen ferns for all year round interest.
The client was tired of how untidy the old herbaceous border was looking, so they wanted a complete change with the idea of it looking good all year round. The old plants were completely removed and soil cleaned out of roots and bulbs, and the border was replanted with evergreen shrubs to give all year round interest. The border was finished off with a metal lawn edging.
The client thought that the existing pond and stream needed a bit of a lift. They wanted one of the ponds made bigger and the stream made wider.
The client was in desperate need to get the garden landscaped. They wanted a large sitting out, entertaining area where they can make the most of the sun…
This client’s pond was looking a bit scruffy, so a refurbishment was in order. The client wanted a brand new look for their new pond, so the old pond was cleaned and stripped out.
The client wanted a rockery with a cascading waterfall, but without a pond so that he could enjoy the sound of water falling in the garden.
The client wanted a small sitting area outside the door with the main patio in the top corner to catch the evening sun and the garden to entertain their family with seating area and space for the grandchildren.
