Case Studies

After landscaping the clients back garden, they were so pleased with it they asked if I could transform the front of their house.

The old garden really wasn’t working for the client. It had little or no interest with a really small patio which they had to fence off from the garden because their dog loved to dig in it.

After having us recently landscaping their back garden the client asked if we could transform their neglected front garden. With the brief, to do something different than the back garden.

The client was having great trouble keeping on top of their bankside back garden. After recently doing the house up, they felt it really needed a facelift, yet were unsure of what to do. So, they enlisted my services to come up with a good idea of what to do, and then carry the work out. The only way forward with this bankside garden was to terrace the bank, making it more manageable. So, we did this using inverted sleepers to create different areas within the garden.

After recently moving to the property, the client was struggling to make the front garden tidy as it had an old drystone wall that was falling down, with a large shrub bed alongside it that was out of control with weeds. Moreover, there was a very scruffy border with old tree stumps in, against next door's fence. So, we decided to help.

After several failed attempts of trying to build a pond, the client got in touch to see if I could make them a small, natural looking pond, situated in the corner of their garden.

The client who had lived at the property for over 30 years decided the garden was long over due for a makeover. So they asked me me to design them a completely different garden to what they had.

The client called me in to look at what I could do for their garden. Although having lived there for a few years they had not got round to sorting the garden out. It is a large garden with a tired old patio by the house and largely laid to lawn. It also had two very large trees what had completely covered the garden in shade.

The client got in touch as they desperately wanted a garden they could enjoy. They asked if they could have a design and build. I designed them a contemporary space, replacing the tired old decking with modern composite decking...

The client already had a large pond in the garden which had fallen into disrepair. They very much wanted to have a working pond suitable for wildlife. So it was agreed to create a new pond elsewhere in the garden.

The client had an old small overgrown pond and wanted to revive it, so we suggested getting rid of the old pond and construct a new bigger and better pond.

The client recently moved into a new build property which didn’t have much usable garden space or planting areas. So, he asked me to design them a usable garden. I did this by giving them a large patio with an additional deck area to capture the evening sun. I installed a backdrop of a large planted border to break up the tall fence.

The client wanted a large deck area accessible from the house and suitable for his disabled daughter. The client also wanted some raised beds to surround the deck.

The client, whom I have done work for in the past, got in touch to see if I could improve the look of the garden that came with the new build property they recently moved into. As with all new builds, their garden didn't come with anything other than the grass. So I created a nice flowing border, edged with metal lawn edging. It was planted with mostly evergreen shrubs, mirrored on both sides, and topped with blue slate chippings for easy maintenance and a modern look.

The client wanted a small extension to her patio, just enough room for a couple of seats, somewhere that would catch the evening sun, but also wanted the ugly gravel boards to be covered up. This we did with a small sleeper retainer, the perfect back drop to a new patio done with large grey Indian stone edged with charcoal block pavers and finished with resin joint filler for a contemporary look.

The client was sick of how messy his front entrance looked with the conifers so overgrown. So we cleared the old conifers out and felled the ash tree. We then cleared the ground to give us a blank canvas. We planted a new hedge of Prunus Lusitanica.

The client wanted to revive there garden and add a new sitting area in the garden that would get the sun in the day right through to evening. So with this in mind they asked me to design the garden for them. As you see from the design I added new paving to the area already used as the patio.

After previously landscaping a lot of the garden the client decided it was time the patio was updated from the tired old paving. So we designed and laid the new paving out of large Indian stone, with even more room for planting.

The client was sick of how featureless and boring the back garden looked. But wasn’t sure what to do with it but definitely wanted something interesting done to the large bank side. Including a water feature. And wanted a contemporary look.

The client had an old pond and waterfall that leaked, surrounded with vey old and tired paving. As they loved sitting watching their fish, they really felt it badly needed renovating. So with not going away because of the Coronavirus epidemic, they wanted to spend the money making the pond area a nice place to enjoy for summer.

The client felt the front of her house was looking a bit tired. Not much ever grew well due to shady north facing aspect, so we cleaned out the old bed and added fresh soil and rocks. We then planted up with shade loving plants. For a dramatic look we added three tree ferns and under planted with evergreen ferns for all year round interest.

The client thought that the existing pond and stream needed a bit of a lift. They wanted one of the ponds made bigger and the stream made wider.

This client's pond was looking a bit scruffy, so a refurbishment was in order. The client wanted a brand new look for their new pond, so the old pond was cleaned and stripped out.

The client wanted a small sitting area outside the door with the main patio in the top corner to catch the evening sun and the garden to entertain their family with seating area and space for the grandchildren.

This area was previously covered with the branches of the tree and scrub underneath. Gardencare had the tree crown lifted, we imported a few ton of soil and large rocks to create a rockery. We planted the border with tree ferns and a mixture of small ferns suitable for dry shade.

On this property, the garden was sloping and had a pond. However, this was becoming impractical with a toddler running about, and the owners couldn't relax and let her play without concern that she would fall. The garden was therefore fully re-designed to be made safe by getting rid of the pond and creating level areas so that she can play...

There was a section of this client's garden which previously had no plants due to being quite shady. We planted this section with tree ferns, small ferns for the shadiest parts and specimen acres, and the area was finished off with large pebbles for a contemporary look and to keep weeds at bay.

The customer wanted her water feature and waterfall improved. We worked on re-designing the surrounding rockery and planted up the rockery so that it was full of colour all year round.

The client needed their garden re-designing to a contemporary style to suit the property, after a garage had been removed. They wanted a large patio for Alfresco dining and a tropical theme for the planting. This was achieved with an Indian Stone patio, installation of a raised bed, and grey slate was laid over a membrane to eliminate weeds and make the garden low-maintenance. 

This was a pond installation originally completed by Gardencare quite a few years back. Over the years the planting had overgrown and was looking cluttered. The rockery was cleared out to leave minimal planting. The waterfall was rebuilt and then covered with pebbles to give it a contemporary look.

This project involved transforming a very steep garden which was overgrown and unusable. 40 ton of material was removed in order to install terraced levels using sleepers. We installed two large borders and a level lawn in the middle. The client now finds this garden more easier to use, and will be including plants in the borders over the months and years to come.
