Gardening & garden design job in BN2

Might have been better if the panels had been painted before they were put up. Plus it would have looked better if the panels were all hung the same way up.

This hardwood decked garden is out in Patcham. The decking was an effective way to overcome the sloping garden and meets the lawn coming from the house.
White cotswold aggregate was used to create a path through the plants. The stones also acted suppressed the weeds, making the garden low maintenance.
Front garden in Hove. This was overgrown with shrubs that blocked out the light and there was an old concrete patio. We removed the shrubs, they were beyond revitalizing but we were able to reuse the concrete as hardcore.
The block paving leads from the path. The planting drapes over on to the paving, giving the garden a rustic feel.
Before photo of this garden shows that is was completely unsuitable for the family that lived here.

Sleeper steps descending to the garden,
We used rammed earth tyres at this house in Hollingbury to retain the garden. This was cost effective aswell as being environmentally friendly
During the turfing stage. We use boards to spread our weight over the turf so as not to damage it.
Before picture of the terraced garden. What a sight! The family called us in to make their garden usable.
Construction of steps, leading to the first terraced area
During construction of terraced levels.
First terraced level. Sleepers are used to retain.
Granite Patio with retaining wall supporting a 'floating. hardwood bench. Ideal area to entertain!
Rockery with grasses.
Planting designed to enclose the area.
Terraced levels to make the garden functional. Lawn is turfed to provide an instant play area.
A midsection for planting.

These oak steps were installed into this garden to lead up to the top level. Planting was added afterwards by an outside contractor to soften the impact of the structures.
The flint walls look great and as it ages along with the steps they will really compliment one another
Oak sleepers provide a raised border to plant
These sweeping curved slate paths lead you through the planting.
The garden was planted up by the client and were asked to install the paths.
The contemporary trellis really gives the fence character aswell as giving climber something to aim towards.
