Services
Garden Design
Our garden design service creates bespoke outdoor spaces tailored to client lifestyles. We collaborate closely during initial consultations to understand preferences for formal, informal, or contemporary styles. Using CAD systems and 3D renders, we produce detailed concept plans and planting schemes with Latin-named species for accuracy and visualisation.
Landscape Construction
From concept approval to completion, we construct gardens using high-quality materials and skilled techniques. Our process includes site surveys, detailed quotations, and sourcing materials to ensure precise execution. Services cover patios, terraces, water features, and structural elements aligned with design specifications.
Wildflower Turf
Wildflower Turf installations create vibrant, low-maintenance meadows that bloom seasonally. The turf combines native British grasses with flowering plants to suppress weeds and thrive with minimal care. Ideal for gardens, parks, and urban spaces, it requires only autumn cutting after establishment.
Artificial Grass
Artificial grass provides durable, year-round lawn solutions for challenging spaces like slopes or shaded areas. Our UK-manufactured products feature permeable surfaces to prevent waterlogging, suitable for play areas, terraces, and pet-friendly zones while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Resin Bound Paving
Resin bound paving combines natural aggregates with clear resin for a seamless, permeable finish. Available in 12-24mm depths, it suits driveways, paths, and patios. The system is SuDS-compliant, requires no planning permission, and offers 18-year guarantees with Sureset products.
