From 2003

The first picture on the left was one of my first impressions when I met my now wife. The garden was a mess, yet it was a remarkable improvement on what was originally there apparently! With hundreds of very old bricks on site, we built on the original ideas of the garden and started developing it into the now show garden you, our prospective clients can visit.

Our first aims were to get a lawn laid for James's second birthday party. Moving one wall to create a better angled flower bank, 20-tonne of graded topsoil were imported - 15 tonne of which were swallowed by the new beds with the remainder forming the key for 120 square yards of turf.

Extensive planting with themed beds was then undertaken together with irrigation and low voltage lighting.
