Brief
A Loose Brief With Problems To Solve

The project brief for this garden was very relaxed indeed. Both the front and the back gardens were to be landscaped after the client decided to stay in the property rather than move.

The front garden was undefined which meant that delivery drivers were inclined to drive straight over it.

In the back garden, privacy was an issue. The clients wanted to flatten out the existing sloping lawn. They also asked Craig to make space for a hot tub in a sunny corner. And to include an outdoor kitchen and a water feature.

Challenge
Easy Access, Happy Clients

Apparently, this garden makeover ran smoothly from start to finish. The landscapers were clearly very lucky with weather conditions, materials supply and lovely clients.

Having the talent to both design and build meant that Craig and his team had full control over the entire project. Every possible hiccup with the build was considered at the design stage which meant that the build was hassle-free.

Solution
A Top Quality Relaxing Garden That Ooozes Charm

Wow! This landscaping company is well known for paying attention to detail but in this garden they really have gone above and beyond.

Both the front and the rear gardens are classy, elegant, welcoming and, by the looks of them, climate friendly too. The hard landscaping is sublime and the planting is going to attract every bee and butterfly within a 3 mile radius.

It's difficult to believe that this is a suburban garden in Royston, it feels like a luxurious holiday location. Craig's clients must be over the moon with his creation.
