This client wanted a large patio designed for alfresco living. This project included laying an Indian Stone patio for their outdoor furniture to occupy, and building a raised bed including Mediterranean plants to remind them of their holidays abroad. We also planted a Portuguese Laurel hedge which, when fully established, will be the perfect spot to keep unsightly bins.
There was a section of this client’s garden which previously had no plants due to being quite shady. We planted this section with tree ferns, small ferns for the shadiest parts and specimen acres, and the area was finished off with large pebbles for a contemporary look and to keep weeds at bay.
Waterfall and stream refurbishment
The customer wanted her water feature and waterfall improved. We worked on re-designing the surrounding rockery and planted up the rockery so that it was full of colour all year round.
This project was the installation of a pond and waterfall. We used a high quality pump, filter and lining and built up a rockery feature around to pond, including a variety of plants which will keep the pond looking attractive all year round.
The client needed their garden re-designing to a contemporary style to suit the property, after a garage had been removed. They wanted a large patio for Alfresco dining and a tropical theme for the planting. This was achieved with an Indian Stone patio, installation of a raised bed, and grey slate was laid over a membrane to eliminate weeds and make the garden low-maintenance.
The client at this property felt that the front of the house looked unkempt, so Gardencare came in to tidy up the land. We cleared out all of the old shrubs, and tidied up the trees. We put down a new, healthy lawn and placed some decorative boulders to make the space look more spacious and tidy.
This was a pond installation originally completed by Gardencare quite a few years back. Over the years the planting had overgrown and was looking cluttered. The rockery was cleared out to leave minimal planting. The waterfall was rebuilt and then covered with pebbles to give it a contemporary look.
On this project, the waterfall’s surroundings needed revamping to make it more appealing. We designed a rockery and used a variety of plants which will continue to fill the beds over the months to come and make the waterfall an attractive feature all year round.
This project involved transforming a very steep garden which was overgrown and unusable. 40 ton of material was removed in order to install terraced levels using sleepers. We installed two large borders and a level lawn in the middle. The client now finds this garden more easier to use, and will be including plants in the borders over the months and years to come.
