Danby St, Bristol.
This private garden in Bristol was both started and completed this week. We were asked by our clients to extend the existing patio with an additional pathway laid to the left hand side. They also wanted us to lay a new lawn.
Tavistock
We were asked to visit a site in Tavistock where they were having a problem with water logging, this was caused by the heavy clay soil. Due to the consistency of the soil, it was decided the best solution to the problem would be to construct a French drain to help to disperse the water. There are 5 or 6 gardens that are suffering with the same problem; although not all to the same extent. We started on this garden on 16/04/13.
Hardwicke
Once again we were asked to create some planters which would incorporate some steps to the entrance of the temporary marketing suite. The objective was to make the structure more welcoming to visitors and add a splash of colour to an otherwise bland area.
Rushden Garden
This garden needed to be completely cleared of all the overgrown plants, shrubs and bushes. The grass and borders also needed to be removed. Once this was done we were able to set about levelling the ground and laying a good quality weed suppressant, before the delivery of the gravel. The gravel was then laid evenly to the required depth.
Tips for April
This month is going to be a case of carrying on with the general tidying and preparation as described for last month. The best attitude to adopt towards the weather we are getting thrown at us at the moment is to take the opportunity to have a good tidy up and plan for the months ahead. This is something we can help with at Create Landscaping Ltd, we can jet wash path's, patio's, decking etc to give them a new lease of life.
