Planters
We were asked to create a pair of planters. The customer is very pleased with these. We planted with evergreens to ensure that there is always something to look at in the planters, then added colour with seasonal plants which can be changed as the seasons change to keep colour and interest going throughout the year.
Pinhoe
And we're off.... There was a slight delay with the start of this job. We should have started on Monday 11th (today is Wednesday 13th). We have started with a team of 5 and will increase the work force to 8 tomorrow. As you can see we are making good progress; the boulders are in place in the rear gardens and the construction of the decking is underway.
Pinhoe
This is a new project, which is due to start on 11th March 2013. This is on the old Ibstock brickwork site in Pinhoe near Exeter in Devon.
Sutton Benger
We were asked by our clients to create a couple of bespoke planters and a step, for the entrance to their temporary marketing suite. As you can see in the photo, the ground was uneven and the slope had to be compensated for in the construction.
Tips for March
This month is traditionally known for being very windy, all exposed plants should be well supported to minimise damage from the March winds and don't forget frosts can still be a hazard so vulnerable plants should still be protected when frosts are expected especially at night.
