Paving, paths, patios & driveways
Paving, paths, patios, and driveways are essential not just for their functionality but also for providing the interconnections that allow movement around garden spaces. They give structure to your garden and offer opportunities to highlight specimen plants or focal points and provide separation or access where required.
The choice of surface finish materials is vast, and our designers will provide ideas and samples, guiding you on choices to fit your desired look, feel, and budget. Installing a well-constructed sub-base is one of the most critical steps in this part of your project, providing a stable foundation and preventing the pavers from shifting or settling over time. We also plan to ensure that the finished path is gently sloped away from buildings to ensure proper surface drainage. Recent planning legislation requires suitable drainage or the use of permeable surfaces to prevent excess water discharge and flooding. Our team will advise and guide where necessary and helpful!
Garden Walls
Garden walls can serve multiple purposes, including retaining and facilitating level changes, providing structure or a backdrop, and creating boundaries and privacy. Spending time ensuring a suitably strong subbase made of the correct materials is imperative to ensuring a stable wall and permanent wall. We can construct walls from a wide range of materials, including, but not limited to, brick, stone, and even sleepers!
Decking, fencing & timber structures
Using timber in your garden for fences and garden structures is a popular choice due to its natural aesthetic, versatility, and durability. Timber adds texture and a warm and inviting feel to your outdoor space while serving practical purposes. Timber fences and gates are commonly used to provide privacy and security for your garden. You can choose from various timber types and styles, such as picket fences, lattice, or solid panels, depending on your preferences. Our maintenance team can provide you with the regular maintenance that is necessary to keep timber fences in good condition. This includes staining or painting to protect the wood from the elements, as well as checking for rot and replacing damaged sections. We are also able to design and install garden structures such as arbors and pergolas. These can create a focal point in your garden while providing shade and support for climbing plants, such as vines and roses. Installing timber decking is a versatile way to create a functional outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment. You can build a raised deck, a ground-level one, or even multi-level decks, depending on your garden’s layout. Our teams are skilled at delivering a practical solution built from the correct materials to ensure longevity and beauty. Overall, timber is a versatile and attractive material for garden structures and fences. With proper care and maintenance, timber can endure for many years, adding natural beauty and functionality to your outdoor space.
Illumination & lighting
Illumination and lighting play a crucial role in extending the usability of your garden during the dark hours. They not only enhance beauty and functionality but also bring an additional artistic dimension to your outdoor space. Different types of lighting include pathway lighting (usually soft low-level light for safety and guiding exploration), accent lighting (highlighting garden focal points and creating depth and dimension), flood lighting (providing practical illumination of large areas for security and outdoor entertaining), and smart technology that allows for remote control and automation. Well-designed lighting can transform your garden into an inviting space that can be enjoyed throughout the night, all year round!
