Before
This was taken before a lawn reclamation and planting job on a neglected garden in Guildford. The soil was heavy chalk/flint which meant having to import topsoil before reseeding.
After
The long thin garden was nicely broken up with a simple beech hedge half way down. The patio area was made more interesting by planting Lime trees surrounded by box in the lawn. The reseeded lawn took really well. For a relatively low budget this garden was completely transformed by bold planting.
Before
A neglected back garden in Godalming which the customer had drawn up a great design for. The project included a pond/water feature, BBQ, walling, paving and lawn.
After
The job took us about 4 weeks to complete and has obviously completely transformed the area, providing all year interest and a practical and usable garden.
A family garden, Godalming.
Another long, thin garden with entertaining and children the key issues of the design brief. The garden has interest, is low maintenance and covers all requirements.
Paving and walling
A reclaimed/rebuilt wall using existing stone which had to be stretched out a little! The bench was made from a piece of timber the customer had acquired and was keen to include and the paving is a terracotta type stone. The effect is a very pleasant and intimate sitting out area, great for entertaining and just enjoying the great outdoors.
Retaining wall and paved area
A project involving building a retaining wall, Indian Sandstone paved area, returf lawn with path through to steps. Beech hedge separating patio from lawn.
Deck and pergola
A customer designed deck and pergola construction to add interest and practicality to a hitherto unused corner of a family garden in Godalming. It works really well because it is bold and angular and lends itself well to interesting planting ideas which the customer is happy to do herself.
Sandstone patio
a nicely curved sandstone patio which looks good and is highly practical, balancing usable space without taking up too much lawn area. The planting areas around the house add interest and soften the margin between patio and house.
Maximising space
This project replaced a banked lawn and utility paved area and is a vast improvement! The brief was for a practical eating out space with as much lawn as possible. The customer was happy we achieved both within a relatively small area.
Rose arch
Rose arch creating a vertical dimension and adding interest to a small garden in Godalming. Roses and scented climbers will make it a really impressive and nice smelling feature in the summer months!
Stone Circle
A stone circle is a great way of creating a good looking sitting out area without taking up too much garden. Railway sleepers are a very cost effective way of retaining soil. The trellis nicely separates car parking from garden. The brief here was low maintenance, a few borders for planting and a small sit out area. Job done!
