Hi, I've been trying to remove some lichen from a concrete slab path as it's a slip hazard, but without much success. So far I've tried a Bayer chemical patio cleaner and a yard brush, but I think I probably need something more mechanical. There is no power on the site.What would anyone recommend?See More

Here's a little article reflecting on setting up a garden design business at the start of a downturn:
Scrollable panorama app for portfolios
Posted on July 21, 2012 at 23:55 0 Comments 0 Likes
We've just tried out an App for iPhone which creates seamless 360 degree panoramic images, and I thought I'd pass on the info. Called DMD Panorama, by Dermandar, it is simple to use, produces great results, and is FREE to download for a limited time. (Note I don't have any links to the company - I just like the software.)
Here's an example of one of our gardens, taken this afternoon:…
Designer plans for cheaper gardens
Posted on October 9, 2011 at 16:03 0 Comments 1 Like
East midlands garden design firm Lush Landscape & Garden Design have launched a brand new service, providing home owners with bespoke garden design plans at credit-crunch friendly prices.
"With the housing market uncertain and interest rates low, many homeowners are doing up, rather than selling up," explains Lush Landscape & Garden Design managing director Anna Barker. "As a result we've seen a large upturn in demand for garden plans this year."
"For this…
A terraced garden in Ashbourne, Derbyshire

Our latest garden, finished yesterday, was a challenge - taming an 18% uphill slope to provide a family garden with lawn, planting, seating area and greenhouse space.
Not only did we manage it, but I got to dust off my Sketchup skills to wow the client with (and they really did say 'Wow!').
Further details are on… Continue

rosie larking said… - What age are your children? Both of mine went to Sharnbrook also......i have a 21yr daughter and a 19yr old son.
Nick is still at Pod and as helpful and friendly as ever! When i first started gardening for a living i was working for Timotay Landscapes, who were the company that Pod used when customers requested a design or build. Does Anna remember them?
I did a RHS general cert at Moulton while i was with Timotay, which was about 2000. And went back to Moulton & started the design foundation degree, P/T in 2006. But I only did the first term and a bit after Christmas....... really struggled with the quantity of work and got very behind! But really enjoyed what i had done on the course.
How did Anna find the course? I did find if difficult to stay awake and concentrate in a warm lab after
lunch!!
I have only just done my first full design, with 2 builder friends, who do the hard stuff-they prefer landscaping to general building and have been doing it for years.
We work really well together, as the 3 of us can cover the skills needed and are working on another design.
So have just taken the exciting step of having a website done, and van signs made!!
I do maintenance and planting too. So just hoping to build up design side more.
While i was studying at Moulton I did a design with my best friend for her dad in Olney. She teaches

Hi Keith Thanks for message - so you know Clapham .............. I moved here 10 years ago when I returned from the Algarve having lived there for 13 years . I know you think I was mad but had to when my marriage went pear shaped .... needed to get kids into schools so stayed with my sister in Oakley till found place in Clapham . Been here ever since - kids have done well - one at uni other in 6th form and leaves in Summer. Started business 9 years ago and still going strong tho like everyone else been tougher last year with not so many new enquiries . Still I have a hard core of regulars ( just as well ) which are my bread & butter - some I've kept since starting out ! Anyway I have enough work now as being semi retired am being more selective - hard as I am another who finds it hard to say *No*
Anyway hope all is going well with you and you have a good season
Cheers
