I have two dogs and didn't want to close off the view of the fields at the bottom of our garden. Installed 1.8mt picket fence, our side is smooth so no foot holds for paws and the light floods into the garden.

A client wants an irrigation system installed along two borders and also for the lawn. Have used leaky pipes before but don't like them. What system/s do you find fairly inexpensive, easy to install, reliable and works

About Me:
Grew up in a large family, two generations of Fruit & Potato merchants. My father branched out into growing all sorts of flowers commercially. Spent my childhood, and when times were tough and I was older, picking, bunching and packing flowers.

Always loved plants and gardens so decided to go back to college after my youngest was small. Started the business ten years ago and haven't looked back!

I design, build (well not me personally) and plant (yup, do this personally) gardens from urban courtyards to large landscapes, in which ever the client desires - contemporary, rustic, minimal or shabby chic!

Have a fantastic team of contractors who are second to none, their eye for detail and finish shows the experience and knowledge of their craft.
What is your profession i.e. Landscaping, gardening, greenkeeping - other
Design, Constuction, Planting Schemes, Project Management.
If you are a professional gardener, landscaper or garden designer, list the services or special skills that you have
With a creative flair for design, The garden design Co create unique, exciting and practical gardens which are tailored to suit your lifestyle and budget.

We always listen carefully to what you require from your garden - It could be a large family plot which caters to both adults, children, dogs and washing lines to an urban retreat that can be used all year, with gently moving water, lighting and delicious fragrant planting.

All our gardens are built to the highest standards, using the very best in landscaping materials and craftsmanship available.

Our team of experienced professionals have an eye for detail and leave the site clean, tidy and ready for you to enjoy.

All the plants are individually sourced from around the country and abroad. They are inspected and planted by me, the owner, to make sure that all are of the highest quality available.
How did you find this site?
Just got lucky!

Deer/rabbit resistant planting, finishing gardens, working together and LJ networking

I knew that Dale would be on site earlier than me today, as I went to buy grass seed for patching up along the back of the raised beds and Dale's usual jam doughnut's.

Yesterday I planted up the majority of the garden which required deer and rabbit resistant plants. Thank you to all of you who gave me their experience of what cute bunnies and graceful deer don't seem to like. I have fantastic lists if anyone needs them.

The phone was silent, and i… Continue

Birdsong

Busy in the kitchen preparing a roast pork dinner and listening to radio 4, the content became boring and annoying. Deciding to find some music I twiddled with the dial on the digital radio and came across a station simply called 'Birdsong'. It does exactly what it says on the dial, simply birdsong gentle and hypnotic.

After a while I quite believed that it wasn't dark outside or frozen or January for that matter, but it was a gloriously still summers afternoon where we would eat in the garden… Continue

Creating gardens, inspiration from the natural landscape

After ten years in this glorious industry, it is easy to lose sight the wonderful and honoured position we are in especially when you’re pushing paper, making calls, and solving the day-to-day problems, which inevitably are part of running a business.

It’s hard being self-employed, there is too much work, not enough work and, on the whole the weather is rubbish, and like all jobs, it has it ups and its downs.

Today was a lovely day, a slight chill in the air and the smell of autumn in the bree… Continue

tips for the garden when selling your house

If you are trying to sell or let your property, first impressions count. With so many properties on the market at the moment it isn’t enough just to make sure that the bins are hidden from the front of your property on a viewing day, or the fallen leaves and wind blown litter are swept up. It may be time to invest a little on the potential ‘first sight’ falling in love with thing, and design a simple, welcoming front garden.

Keep the front garden in keeping with the property. For small urban fr… Continue

garden design ideas

You probably have a garden, either an urban courtyard or rural retreat.

No doubt you require many things from the space such as an Al fresco entertaining area, playground for the children, exercise area for the dog, bike storage, a washing line, wheelie bin park, log stack, composting area, shed, and the list goes on! But most of all most of us want a beautiful haven in which to relax and unwind. How does that work?

Warm regards,

I wish! Somehow I managed to buy a house with the most Southern Yard here. I wanted desert landscaping. However, I have 3 gardinas, 3 long needle pines, Magnolia, crepe myrtle, nandina, cape honeysuckle, white jasmine, purple plum tree, and roses.

I was thrilled to find out I have a hibiscus planted in my yard. They have to be garaged in the winter in Atlanta or they die off. So having one in the ground is a real treat.

I container gardened veggies and herbs this summer. I kept the plants on the Northside up near the house to keep them from burning. It worked like a charm. I will attempt year round vegetable gardening this year. Wish me luck!

Love your photo of the stones! How is going in UK?

Thanks for the comment.
I took this picture at one of our gardens we were working at.
We had planted this section in 2007 and the flower display summer 2008 was quite spectacular.
