Brief
Using Imagination And Skill To Visualise A New Space

As so often happens in the landscape industry, Adam's clients really weren't sure exactly what they wanted from their new garden. They knew that they needed a couple of seating areas, one of which needed space for outdoor dining. But when it came to positioning, styling and planting - their research had only resulted in them being overwhelmed by choices.
Fortunately, Adam has an eye for design and very quickly came up with a suggested layout and products - the rest, as they say, is history.

Challenge
New Products = A Steep Learning Curve

Adam cites the two main challenges with this project as unexpected buried concrete slabs, which took a lot of effort to break up and move. And, getting used to handling an unfamiliar product.

The Utopia team were unused to working with split stone cladding but with support and advice from Richard at Arbour Landscape Solutions, soon figured out the best way to install the tiles so that they look and feel perfectly natural.

Solution
A Landscaping Triumph

Every garden designer and landscaper reading this will be able to relate to the feeling you get when the clients are over the moon with their new garden. Adam and his team were highly praised by the whole family and rightly so.

This garden is a triumph. From the planting to the immaculately laid patio and the perfect decking. A fine example of British Landscaping at its very best.

Our Client Said...
Excellent service. Richard Bickler really helped out with the cladding specification. Stuff which, without research, we would not have known.
