Before and after photographs of some of the projects that were successfully carried out during 2014.
Making the front garden tidier and a little more maintenance free.
A wild tree in need of taming.
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 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.
Clearing back a garden that hadn't been tended for several years.
Using as much of the original frame as possible, this decking was restored to its former glory and then some.
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.
Where the lawn met the pavement, the grass didn't grow. A nice solution was to create a lavender hedge.
Taming a huge, overgrown hedge.
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.
Putting a garden back into shape after a short period where it was left untended.
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 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.
Treated Tarmac can give a drive a new lease of life.
... a garden can still be brought back to life with a bit of effort.
Clearing away an over-grown embankment and rescuing a car-park in the process.
