LANDSCAPING EXCELLENCE<br />
SOMETHING FOR ALL<br />
Landscaping Solutions<br />
GARDEN DESIGN<br />
This garden on the fringes of<br />
Richmond Park underwent quite<br />
a transformation from an expanse<br />
of lawn with a couple of sheds<br />
and an old terrace to an attractive<br />
and functional space for family<br />
enjoyment. The finished garden<br />
has something for everyone<br />
including a large lawn, a putting<br />
green, overhead beams supporting<br />
a hanging seat and a gym/studio<br />
to the rear. Our team had plenty to<br />
get its teeth into.<br />
The main focus of the hard<br />
landscaping revolves around a<br />
paved terrace area close to the<br />
house encompassing a built-in<br />
barbecue and a fireplace feature.<br />
Both are block constructions,<br />
the fireplace being finished with<br />
a textured tile cladding and the<br />
barbecue rendered, painted and<br />
fitted with a granite worktop.<br />
We were particularly impressed<br />
with the quality of the Grey Sawn<br />
Yorkstone we used to construct<br />
the terrace. It has a wonderfully<br />
attractive veining throughout and<br />
is beautifully machined making<br />
installation easy.<br />
Apart from the lawn and<br />
the terrace, the other surface<br />
coverings include pale decorative<br />
Ben West<br />
aggregate retained in a stabilising Managing Director<br />
system and a light coloured nonslip<br />
composite decking which<br />
Landscaping Solutions<br />
helps provide clean access to the<br />
immediate rear of the house and an<br />
area around the gym.<br />
The health and vigour of the<br />
planting is aided by the addition<br />
of well-rotted manure and the<br />
installation of a drip irrigation system.<br />
Strategic lighting brings the garden<br />
into use during the hours of darkness.<br />
We have been asked to maintain<br />
the garden following the build and<br />
it’s going to be great to see how it<br />
matures through the seasons and<br />
over the years.<br />
