Services
Garden Design
We create bespoke garden designs tailored to client preferences, from traditional English gardens to modern minimalist styles. Our process includes site surveys, client briefs, and 3D visualisations to ensure clarity. Services cover small urban gardens and large estates, with detailed planting schemes and construction drawings.
Wildflower Turf
Wildflower Turf installations provide low-maintenance, biodiverse meadows. We use native grasses and flowering plants selected for year-round colour. The turf acts as a weed suppressant and requires minimal watering once established, ideal for gardens, parks, and urban spaces.
Resin Bound Paving
Resin-bound surfaces combine natural aggregates with clear resin for durable, permeable driveways and patios. Available in multiple colours and textures, our Sureset-certified installations require no planning permission and resist loose stone displacement.
Garden Maintenance
Our maintenance programmes include grass cutting, hedge trimming, and seasonal planting. Tailored to client needs, we offer weekly to annual visits using professional equipment for lawns up to 10 acres, ensuring year-round garden health.
Commercial Contracting
We provide grounds maintenance, fencing, and irrigation for commercial properties. Services include weed control, topiary upkeep, and SuDS-compliant drainage systems, ensuring functional and visually appealing business premises.
