A small selection of some of our projects.
A 27‑metre privacy screen created in a very narrow 1.5‑foot gap between a shed wall and a stone boundary wall. The aim was to install an evergreen, natural barrier using mature climbers in a space too tight for fencing or machinery.
What I Did
Cleared the entire trench by hand, removing large buried boulders
Improved soil structure and drainage in a confined space
Built a long‑span support frame suitable for mature climbers
Planted and trained ten 4‑metre Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides)
Tied in and shaped each plant to create immediate height and structure
Challenges Solved
Working in a 1.5ft‑wide corridor
Handling and positioning mature 4m climbers
Creating a stable support system without hard‑landscaping
Ensuring airflow and root health in a shaded, restricted area
Result A clean, natural, evergreen privacy wall that will continue to thicken and knit together, providing year‑round coverage, structure, and summer fragrance. A strong example of soft landscaping, structural planting, and problem‑solving in difficult spaces
Project Overview
This area started as an uneven, overgrown space filled with debris, logs, branches, and general garden waste. The ground had no structure, no level surface, and no defined purpose. The goal was to completely clear, level, and rebuild the area into a practical, tidy, low‑maintenance zone with a dedicated burning pit, two compost bays, and a clean gravel finish.
What I Did
Fully cleared the site, removing large piles of branches, logs, foliage, and mixed waste
Levelled the entire ground by hand, reshaping uneven soil and compacting it for stability
Installed two compost pits for organised green‑waste management
Created a dedicated burning pit area for safe, controlled disposal of woody material
Laid a full membrane to suppress weeds and keep the area low‑maintenance
Finished the space with stone chippings for a clean, tidy, long‑lasting surface
Challenges Solved
Managing a large volume of mixed garden waste
Levelling an uneven, root‑ridden ground surface
Creating functional zones in a previously unusable space
Ensuring long‑term weed suppression and easy maintenance
Result The area is now clean, organised, and fully functional — with a defined burning pit, two compost bays, and a stable gravel surface. A complete transformation from a cluttered, unusable corner into a practical working zone that supports ongoing garden maintenance.
Project Overview A full rockery build measuring 17.9m long and 1.2–1.5m deep, created to add structure, height, and naturalistic planting to a previously plain slope.
Construction
Positioned around 140 boulders to form terraces, pockets, and natural contours
Added 33 × 900L bags of soil (approx. 29,700 litres) to shape depth and create stable planting zones
Formed a multi‑tiered layout with natural curves and varied heights
Planting
Structural shrubs at the back for height and year‑round presence
Mid‑tier perennials including foxgloves and campanulas for seasonal colour
Front‑edge spillers and crocosmia to soften the stonework and blend the rockery into the lawn
Result A natural‑looking, layered rockery with strong structure and long‑term planting interest — transforming the slope into a mature, established feature.
