Gallery: Review of 2014

Before and after photographs of some of the projects that were successfully carried out during 2014.

Replacing the Lawn

Making the front garden tidier and a little more maintenance free.

A Well Needed Haircut

A wild tree in need of taming.

Replacing The Wall

An old timber retaining wall had reached the end of its life. A new retaining wall was built using more robust timbers which would provide a longer service.

A Small Seating Area

A corner of this garden had become over-grown with weeds. Rather than repair the lawn, the customer wanted a small seating area. Re-cycled materials were used where possible.

Reclaiming The Land

Clearing back a garden that hadn't been tended for several years.

A Decking Rescue

Using as much of the original frame as possible, this decking was restored to its former glory and then some.

Landscaping A Car-Park

In a car-park, for an industrial estate, we were asked to make the place "nice to look at". Here's an example of one of the pieces of landscaping done.

A Lavender Hedge

Where the lawn met the pavement, the grass didn't grow. A nice solution was to create a lavender hedge.

Monster Hedge Recovery

Taming a huge, overgrown hedge.

A Major Operation

Rebuilding and revamping an African themed garden: replacing the old worn out bamboo with thicker bamboo, changing ruined fence panels (from the storms of Winter 2013/2014) and restoring the garden furniture and decking.

Back In Shape

Putting a garden back into shape after a short period where it was left untended.

Filling In The Gaps

A fencing company hadn't bridged the gap between their new fence and the end of the garden. This required a bespoke fence panel to fill in the missing area.

A New Shed Wall

A very old shed, but in quite a good condition bar the back wall where much of the wood had rotted. A new shed wall was built.

Decorating The Drive

Treated Tarmac can give a drive a new lease of life.

Even When It's Very Overgrown...

... a garden can still be brought back to life with a bit of effort.

Clearing An Embankment

Clearing away an over-grown embankment and rescuing a car-park in the process.
