New Shed & Studio Builds

New Shed Supply & Build Here we took out a very tired shed that was taking up way too much precious space in a clients garden. In many newer properties garden space is very small so needs to be well thought out. We reconfigured the space , made a path, created a raised bed with brick surround, created circle seating area and a bench slab area. We introduced electrics into the shed which allows for fairy lights to be used in the garden in the Summer. The client was very happy with how she now has space to entertain, relax and have a garden ￩￫ x × Previous...

Fake Grass

Time is precious to many of us in the warmer months. The pressure to get the lawn cut before it rains, before guests arrive, before and after the holiday all make us slightly resent having a lawn. So the answer… New generation fake grass is really convincing. Zero maintenance …Dog and child friendly. Never muddy, never dies off or gets mossy and can be used all year round regardless of the weather. The installation can be worked around the existing layout of your garden ensuring the correct drainage so no puddling. It will look pristine all year round. Contact us for more...

Garden Landscaping Hertfordshire

Garden Landscaping Hertfordshire Very often gardens are well designed initially, but shrubs become ‘tired’ and outgrown in the location they are in. The also have a maturity date and once past that they decay and look poor. Gardens, like rooms in a house, need a makeover every so many years. Sometimes this maybe just adding and removing some plants or trees, but in somecases it may involve whole areas to be revamped and new soil put in too. Over years accumulated acid breakdown from some plants or lack of orgainic tilth in the soil will see you garden run down. We can advise you of the best action to be taken to re~boost the vigour in your garden We have designed various projects for clients including beautiful barns. We have liaised with the Planning Department and, following approval, have taken the projects through to completion having sourced a specialist builder for the project. However, a general re- garden landscaping of an average garden has also been a real success for some of our clients’ problem gardens. Removing a very poorly installed pond and adding a stone, slate and millstone feature really improved one client’s garden. Please click here to view our gallery of garden...

Garden Maintenance

We undertake to maintain, upgrade and improve all our clients gardens. We have maintained a wealth of different size gardens, from the small back gardens, larger display gardens, to 3.5 acre gardens with ponds, jacuzzi’s and irrigation. We also carry out the tree maintenance and hedge cutting. We offer this service to meet your gardens needs and to suit your budget. Whilst on site we can also make recommendations such as spring and autumn feeding for your lawn or moss treatment and scarifying the lawn also. For some clients a monthly schedule is what suits them most and we can incorporate that too. It really is the focal point of any English garden, but needs TLC and my well-trained staff would bring out the best of your less than perfect lawns. Lawn maintenance is such an important feature of the garden that gets so seriously neglected . It is your outdoor carpet and although tough it does need help. Many suffer from pet abuse, compaction, drought, moss invasion, competion by weeds leading to degradation and lack of feeding. We can advise and help on all of these. We can completely overhaul your moss ridden, compacted, worn out lawn. Even if you lawn is not being heavily trodden on, it still needs Spring / Autumn treatments to maximise its performance. We tailor make the treatment plans such as Scarifying (to remove thatch), Hollow tyne core removal (to improve aeration or add oragnic matter / lawn sand ) as well as feeding or a good cut with professional mowers. A good lawn makes all the difference to your garden, just like a carpet does to the room in your house. Please...

Garden Pruning

It is always prudent to cut trees and hedges at the correct time of year to avoid disease and to enhance the performance of the tree/hedge. Also with nature hedges there is an RSPB guideline of times when it is acceptable to cut hedges. Outside of the given times may be subject to a hefty fine. We make sure your fruit trees perform weel by clearing out dead or overlapping or congested growth. We can even introduce espalier growing which maximises fruit production especially in small gardens or in sectioned areas. Also roses and shrubs need pruning / thinning at the right time of year. Suckers and epicormic growth along with forked in feed will ensure the plants perform well. Please click here to view our gallery of garden...

Water Features

These are a great way to give a visual and sound dimension to your garden. Add soft lighting and skilful planting with a scattering of select aggregates and you have a really wonderful enhancement feature. Incorporating a combination of lighting and water features in your garden can be relatively inexpensive when you consider how much it improves the quality of your garden. It makes it a whole new ‘room’ which has a different feeling at night when the senses are focused on just the sound of the water, or with LED lighting then the water and lighting combined makes a great focal point in the garden.
