Theres something about a garden wall that feels warm and homely. It's strong, permanent and very often it's a little bit unique. Kind of like saying "this is my home and I'm investing in it".

Don't get me wrong - I'm not knocking fencing at all - but walls just have that extra, indefinable 'something'.

A low wall, for example can be used within a garden to manage changes in levels. but it can also double up as extra seating or somewhere to display potted plants.

A slightly taller wall can define a boundary and maybe deter folks from inadvertantly wandering into your front garden. Whilst a nice high wall is the ideal place to train fruit trees or display artwork.

Here at Precision Paving and Landscaping we have the skills to build beautiful garden walls, straight ones, curved ones, any height and even flintwork so that your property will be in keeping with the local area.

Need more privacy in your garden but don't want to make it feel like a prison yard?

We've got lots of ideas to help your outdoor spaces feel more secluded and hidden from prying eyes ....

🌿 A pergola allows you to enjoy the outdoors whilst restricting the view from neighbouring properties. Choose traditional timber or a more contemporary design with louvred roof. Removable sides afford extra protection from hot sun and chilly breezes.

🌿 Position your seating area in the least overlooked part of the garden - this is often away from the house, possibly near the meeting point of two boundary fences.

🌿 A lean-to gazebo can be used to create a sheltered (and private!) verandah for your seating area

🌿 A covered garden walkway draped with climbing plants offers an elegant and inviting way to travel around the garden without feeling as though you are in full view of neighbouring properties.

🌿 Decorative privacy screens made from timber or steel are incredibly attractive and look great when combined with lighting.

🌿 Carefully positioned trees are a great way to help your garden feel more secluded without it feeling claustrophobic.

🌿 Hedges are great at absorbing sound whilst also supporting wildlife.

🌿 The sound of moving water helps to distract your ears from unwanted external noise and also makes it harder for anyone outside the garden to overhear your conversations.

Don't miss out on using your outdoor space just because it feels a bit too public for your liking - there are all sorts of garden design tricks to maximise privacy without compromising the aesthetic.

Still one of my favourite projects - creating a stylish driveway for this impressive new build property in Barway.

We used two colours of paving blocks to add interest to the driveway and to help emphasise that lovely curved shape.

Porcelain pavers with recessed lighting create a separate 'zone' for pedestrians and then there's a gravelled utility area to allow rainwater to sink into the soil.

Super proud of this one - those extra details made all the difference.

Hot weather really does make a body appreciate the value of trees. They cast inviting shadows, help moderate the temperature and generally make us feel good.

Every garden should have at least one tree - they make great focal points, look amazing when lit from below, support wildlife and, when carefully placed are fantastic privacy screens.

But what if you feel your garden is too small for a tree? Trust me, it probably isn't. With a carefully considered layout and the right type of tree, your outdoor space can be totally elevated.

This blog post from Tapestry Design Studios in Colchester lists 22 types of tree that work beautifully in small gardens. It only takes a few minutes to read and could inspire you to add a wonderful new element to your outdoor space.

Isn't this weather amazing? I mean, some folks pay a fortune to fly overseas to enjoy this kind of sunshine and we're currently being treated to beautiful blue skies, warm temperatures and long balmy evenings.

Anyhow, what I really want to chat about is how you can make the most of your garden in glorious weather.

Any garden has the potential to feel like a luxurious holiday venue IF you know how to make it feel more inviting. Even if life gets in the way of spending the whole day relaxing outside, your outdoor space can be the perfect way to unwind for a few moments.

First up - get rid of unsightly clutter - that broken bike, those half-empty compost bags, the table with the missing leg and the stained top.....you know the type of thing.

Next - trim the edges of the lawn and sweep those paths and patios. These little touches make the whole space feel more manicured and loved.

Now take notice of where the sunny spots are and how they move around during daylight hours. Try to create an inviting seating area (or two!) so that you can take advantage of sun (or shade) at the time of day that suits you best. So maybe a bistro table and chairs for breakfast in the sunshine, a comfy sofa or a hammock to enjoy mid-afternoon shade, and perhaps an outdoor dining area for your evening meal. Don't forget to add lighting so that you can make the most of the more comfortable temperatures when the sun starts to dip.

A stylish pergola or covered seating area is irrisistable in almost any weather. Position it so that you have a great view from inside it and then use bunting, cushions, tableware etc to really personalise it. Training climbing plants over a shelter will create a cosy bower sheltered from hot sun, drizzle and chilly breezes. You could even create a covered walkway, a veranda or a cloister to help you enjoy the garden in comfort.

Worried about uneven surfaces and trip hazards? That's something that our team can fix for you. You'll only need to do it once (we build things to last!) and you'll feel far more confident about being outdoors.

Patios come in all shapes and sizes and each one that we build is created with exactly the same level of care and attention.

Secretly though, the projects I most enjoy, are the ones where the client is brave enough to do something a bit different - to really personalise their outdoor space.

I'm talking about curves, level changes, mixing materials, choosing patterned porcelain pavers, installing recessed lighting, quirky laying patterns - anything that will challenge me and my team.

Here are just a few examples - which one would you try in your garden?

Are you dreading summer? Kids sitting indoors, glued to a screen while the world carries on without them?

As a parent I completely understand how difficult it is to encourage children to engage with the great outdoors and that's why I've written a blog post to share some of the things that have (so far!) worked with my two.

The one thing I didn't add into the blog and should have is a giant thankyou to Kay, and to the children's grandparents who are just brilliant at finding things for the twins to do when they're not at school. It's not easy keeping up with two little live-wires who have strong ideas about what they want to do. You guys are great!

Here's the link to the blog....

When your garden needs a makeover but you're worried about the cost, please don't compromise on the craftsmanship - cheap labour is rarely the same as value for money.

Instead, think about creating an overall design that can be built in stages.

Start by mapping out your dream garden - lets say, for arguments sake, that you'd like a patio with pergola, gorgeous lighting, a pretty water feature and a practical shed hidden away behind a stylish corten steel screen.

Design a layout that would work with all of those features in it. Think about where the paths will be, where the light fittings need to be positioned, how the levels and the drainage will work, whether you want an irrigation system that'll involve plumbing etc etc etc

Now prioritise those features and ask your landscaper to build the most important ones in the first phase of the makeover, BUT be sure to consider drainage, electrical conduits, plumbing etc as though the whole garden is being created. That way you'll not need to reconfigure anything when you're ready to build the next phase.

At Precision Paving and Landscaping we're happy to help you design and build a phased garden. Just call or DM us to discuss your options.

Planning a garden makeover really makes you think about how you use your outdoor space. It's about solving problems, not creating new challenges. But all too often, there's a whole lot of vertical space that gets totally ignored.

For example - imagine you want to maximise the parking space on your driveway but don't want to sacrifice the colour, scent and sheer joy of having plants in your front garden.

Perhaps you prefer your back garden to be paved but want to add interest by creating zones within it?

How about making use of walls, fences, boundaries and screens to get some greenery into your life?

Climbing plants, hedges, hanging baskets, pleached trees or even a custom built living wall are brilliant ways to make best use of the vertical space. Imagine a simple shelter/car-port dripping with wisteria, or a carefully positioned blossom tree to create a focal point. Some slimline raised beds with lovely tall grasses wafting in the breeze would look amazing and need virtually no maintenance. Lovely!

No matter what the size, shape or aspect of your garden or how much time you want to spend on maintenance, there are many ways to make the most of your vertical space. Nature is 3D and your garden should be 3D too.

I truly do believe that a garden should be part of the home. That means it should feel comfortable, welcoming, usable and well - part of everyday life really.

With a garden makeover from Precision Paving and Landscaping, you'll soon find yourself spending more and more time outdoors. Coffee, lunch, reading e-mails, playing, relaxing, entertaining, crafting, living.
