Services
Garden Design
Our garden design service creates tailored outdoor spaces that balance aesthetics with ecological function. We begin with a free site visit to discuss your vision, followed by detailed hand-coloured plans incorporating native plants and sustainable materials. Each design considers light levels, soil type, and wildlife attraction while maintaining visual harmony with your property.
Wildflower Gardens
Specialist wildflower garden creation using pre-established wildflower turf for immediate impact. We prepare sites to optimise growth conditions and install biodegradable mesh-based turf containing 25 perennial species. Our designs maximise pollinator attraction while requiring only biannual maintenance, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional lawns.
Decking Installation
Custom decking solutions using sustainably sourced timber including Scandinavian Redwood and Southern Yellow Pine. We create organic seating areas suited to both formal gardens and wild landscapes, with careful attention to sub-base preparation and weather-resistant construction techniques that ensure longevity and visual integration.
Pond Installation
Wildlife pond design and construction incorporating safety features for families. Our ponds use natural materials to create self-sustaining ecosystems that attract amphibians, insects, and birds. We specialise in creating focal points that enhance garden aesthetics while supporting local biodiversity through carefully planned aquatic plant selection.
Planting Consultant
Expert planting advice focusing on colour combinations, structural interest, and ecological benefits. We select plants based on their visual impact, wildlife value, and environmental requirements, ensuring year-round interest through strategic mixtures of evergreens, native species, and carefully chosen exotics for seasonal variation.
