A little bit late in posting, but here's a few photos from a recently completed project undertaken on a townhouse in the Marina development in Portishead.

As can be the way with modern development, the footprint was extremely limited but the Client was keen to minimise maintenance and develop what space they did have to maximise the opportunity for social gatherings and in particular cooking, be it a Kamado style 'egg' or an Ooni Gas Pizza Oven.

The sloping site was simplified with the creation of two large Millboard composite decks with integrated CorTen steel raised planters from our friends ADEZZ - Design to grow sub-dividing the 'rooms', along with a large integrated composite bench for a cosy seating area where guests can relax whilst watching the chef prepare the food!

Mood lighting and power was provided by AMH Electrical Services and a simple, but stunning in house planting scheme provided the finishing touches by softening the space.

The Client was very eager to get going on using the space and has given everything the seal of approval by inviting us back for a pizza party!

PS : Client of the year award goes to this lovely couple with outstanding biscuit provision throughout the project😎

And out of the darkness came light!

Earlier this week saw the installation and commissioning of the outdoor lighting / electrical scheme for our project down in Blackford.

Illumination for the pathways, outdoor kitchen lighting, CorTen Steel Water Table and the up lighting of that 40m long beautiful stone wall just brings it alive.

Thanks to our friends at AMH Electrical Services for their work in bringing this together.

Just the second phase of planting and self binding pathway to go now. Come on Spring, get your act together 😎

It's amazing what a bit of dry and (slightly) warmer weather can do.....

After battling through the deluge of rain and hard frosts over the last couple of months, we've at last started the mammoth planting activity at our Blackford Project.

Stage 1 will see all the structural elements including Beech, Gingko and Amalanchier Trees , Yew Hedging, Espalier Fruit Trees, 'Gertrude Jekyll 'Roses, Buxus Balls and a generous underplanting of Allium and Snowdrop bulbs.

Stage 2, when the ground warms up in the Spring will see the inclusion of Tree Ferns, Hydrangeas, Grasses, swathes of English Lavender and a multitude of perennials amongst others.

Today saw the start of planting, with 800 bare root Yew Hedging plants - so there will be a few sore backs tonight!

As always the inclusion of greenery will start to bring the space alive. Roll on Spring 😌

Our current Design & Build project in Blackford, Somerset is slowly edging forward! 🙏

This Winter has been very tough to be a Landscaper....very wet 🌧 with Somme-like conditions or extremely cold with frozen 🥶 ground....& very little inbetween! 😠

So progress has been slower than usual on this beautiful project but we are emerging from the chaos....at least the local Stone & Oak circular seating areas are really starting to weather in nicely👌

Last week saw the team complete the installation of these Stunning Oak Rose archways along our meandering Corten Steel pathway & this week the weather should behave itself for 5 minutes to allow installation of the London Stone Clay Paver Pathways, rotatavation of the large planting beds & bulk soil deliveries & ready for the installation of our mamouth planting plan!

The end of last year & early 2023 has seen the GreenBird team creating a beautiful family 👪 Garden within an existing walled Garden & Period property in rural Somerset.

We are creating a wonderful Outdoor Kitchen & Entertaining area which includes a Big Green Egg UK & Gozney Pizza oven.

This then leads onto a beautiful local Stone & Oak intimate seating area which in turn leads onto a shade Garden & Corten Steel watertable.

Expansive planting beds with an Eye-popping planting scheme & pathways then lead up through Chunky Oak 'gateways' in the midst of a beautiful Wildflower Meadow before arriving in the families new Fruit & Vegetable Allotment with a new Potting shed to boot!
..and don't get us started on the simply stunning Orchard 🍎🍏 of Espalier Fruit Trees that we are planting as well including some very special Old English varieties....❤️

To top it all off we've got some funky lighting 💡from our friends at AMH Electrical Services to finish the scheme off so watch this space for how we're getting on....suffice to say there's been far too Mud for our liking !🤣🌧🥾

This recent weather can really do one! 🌧🌧🌧

However, our latest Design & Build project in Portishead, North Somerset is nearing the finish line!

Even on a very wet, windy 🌬 and dreary day this iconic Coastal Outdoor Living Room really catches the Eye 👁!

Our Beautiful, handcrafted Paddlestone & Corten Steel Outdoor Fireplace (with in-built log storage) forms the centrepiece to this contemporary space.

A busy week including planting a lush, textural planting scheme, finishing the new Outdoor Kitchen, installation of Corten Steel laser cut screens & laying of the new lawn (amongst many other bits!) will see this one over the line! 🤞
