Jill Le Claire replied to Jill Le Claire's discussion North facing garden near road"Can create a hedge a metre wide and up to 2 m high-soil will be o.K. as we will be replacing badly compressed soil (post-builders). The road is about 10 m from the garden. Many thanks

Dave Sewell replied to Jill Le Claire's discussion North facing garden near road"Jill,
I think I'd avoid stressing about the choice of hedge and go for what you fancy. At 3 feet wide it's going to make no difference at all to traffic noise. I think a shelter belt of 20-metres is about the starting point for noise…"

- Hi Edward
Very quiet this end-fingers crossed! I will willingly keep your details and would be grateful if you could help with design leads-from a small back yard to a major makeover. Have a look at my website. www.little-havens.co.uk Hope things pick up soon.
Kind regards

Dear Jill,
I am writing to inform you of my landscaping business, Frensham Landscapes, which may be of interest to you.
I have been working regularly around Surrey and Hampshire providing landscaping services to those who wish to renovate outdoor gardens and spaces. This has included hard landscaping such as patio areas, in addition to soft landscaping such as the laying of turf and hedge cutting.
I have gained valuable experience over the past few years; two of these spent in the South of France actively helping to renovate eighteenth Century barns into modern apartments. On return I worked for eighteen months for a successful local building firm in Farnham.
After acquiring ample experience in this field, I decided to become self-employed, using the expertise that I have gained to work under the name of Frensham Landscapes.
I recently undertook a full-time course at Merrist Wood in which I gained a National Certificate in Landscape Construction and Horticulture which I passed with merit, a valuable experience which highlighted my natural aptitude for creativity, and a passion for turning my own ideas from paper into practice.
I have successfully completed a number of developments, and am currently involved in a few other projects, including patios, a church memorial garden and perimeter fencing.
I am currently looking for opportunities to be subcontracted, so if you believe my services could be of any benefit to you, please contact me and I would be happy meet to discuss possibilities for the future.
If you require, I can provide you with my portfolio of private work I have done as well as many references from completed jobs.
Yours faithfully,
Edward Verity
