About Me:

a design and build company is the new trading name of David Beasley (HND Hort.) Garden Design And Construction who has been successfully trading as a self-employed Garden Designer and Landscape Contractor in the Hull and East Yorkshire region since 2004.

Although David’s twenty years plus years experience in The Construction Industry is primarily in the fields of Domestic / Commercial Landscape Design And Build, David also has qualifications and a keen interest in Building / Construction / Architecture and has been involved in the Project Management / Construction of a Self-Build Property and a major Property Re-Model and Extension project in the recent past.

The re-branding of the business is not a vain attempt to secure vast amounts of “Building Work”, as David is not a Builder, but it is an attempt to highlight the experience and skills that David already has in the Construction Industry and to advise on the future skills David hopes to obtain and the new Services he hopes to offer you the Client.

David’s Skills And Knowledge are further backed up by the guidance/advice given to him by his father (Dave Snr.) who had over thirty five years experience in Steelwork Fabrication / Modular Building industries and is a serial Property Renovator and former Self-Builder.

Although based in Willerby (near Hull) in the East Riding Of Yorkshire, a design and build company‘s potential catchment area is much wider (even international!) and depends on the Client’s service requirements.

Please explore this website to familiarise yourself with the professional, cost-effective Landscape And Building Services that a design and build company can already offer you and keep visiting to keep up-to-date with New Services as they are rolled out.

Do not hesitate to Contact Us for an informal chat if you have Any Project that you think may benefit from Our Services and you may be pleasantly suprised by the Affordability of our Expertise and the Potential Cost Savings you could make by appointing us to run your Landscape / Building Project.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely

a design and build company

Note: David Beasley holds a BTEC Higher National Diploma in Landscape And Horticultural Technology from Askham Bryan College, York and has Public Liability Insurance.

Free Online Garden Design Course

My Free Online Garden Design Course is a 'step-by-step' guide how to design an outside space and is written with home owners, landscape contractors and novice garden design practitioners in mind.

I'm not saying that the course content describes 'the way' to or 'the only way' to design an outside space, it merely reflects the way 'I do it' based on twenty years experience in the Landscape Industry working alongside Architects, Civil Engineers, Quantity Surveyors, Landscape Architects and Landsca… Continue

At 12:31pm on February 7, 2010, Andrew Fisher Tomlin said…: Hi David - it was 91-95 and Paul got me loosened up with my drawing yes! He's going to be doing an urban garden at Chelsea so the tables turned and it was strange to be assessing his garden this year!

At 11:39pm on February 15, 2010, Tracy McQue said…: Hi David, thanks for that, nice to hear. If it's the images on my website you've seen, then it is Photoshop. I use Sketchup to do all the 3D modelling and provide a to scale outline which I then render in PS. Have hand drawn all the trees, plants, created grass, wood, stone textures so they don't look too CAD like and Bob's your uncle! If you check out my blog at: http://mcquegardens.blogspot.com/ I'm starting to add more detail about how I use PS for concept drawings and then final design for client. What do you use?
