Gardening case studies

Case Study one - Garden Landscaping, and clearance:

This garden was originally fully designed and landscaped approximately 10 years ago, and the original drawings were made available so we could see what plants should be there and what had self sown.When the clearance was complete the birdbath, patio and pergoda were clearly visible. 

The gentleman can now get out of his back door and see from his window! This clearly shows that no matter how much time and money is spent getting a garden designed, it is the maintenance thereafter that helps it reach it’s true potential.

A small front garden that was “boring”.  The client originally requested a small lawn but after we discussed the maintenance involved carrying the lawnmower through and the constant lawn care to keep an immaculate lawn, the client decided that plants with all year round interest would be ideal.
A design was put together, agreed and work commenced to clear the original membrane and gravel.Plants used include: lavender for scent, box & hebe for evergreen interest, spring bulbs were included and in colours that complemented the overall design.

After removing the lawn and four large conifer trees on the boundary, we have managed to enlarge the driveway but also have a much more colourful, low maintenance garden. Using mainly evergreen shrubs for the structure and infilling with osteospernum and lavender, underplanted with spring bulbs and decorative fencing tidy up the boundaries.
The grass now wont need to be mown every week and there is no need to worry about ladders to trim the conifers.
