Merry Xmas! Before and after photos of one of our latest installations. Difficult areas got solved successfully! A diseased sheenas gold hedge got removed and replaced with poles in different lengths. Installed beautiful steps leading down into the garden next to it and a water feature was installed in another section. Mission completed. Now time for a well deserved rest, see you all again in 2016! We will commence work on the 6th of January. Thanks for your support. Nigel and Mikaela

Latest garden make over. This section of the garden was overgrown and in dire need of help.
The brief was English country and lots of color. It's now a very cheerful garden!

Perhaps our biggest transformation to date?
The only requests from our client was a fairly large paved area and a water feature. After that she pretty much gave us carte Blanche.
We did the following: repaired the broken wall, painted it a lovely shade of green, built another pillar to match the one already there, installed paving with a cobble border in a darker shade, custom built a balu timber bench on top of a retaining wall, screened two unsightly storage corner with custom made timber screens, designed the water feature and installed the copper pipes. Finally we laid new lawn and planted up with suitable plant material that will succeed. It is now her very own sanctuary and we could not be more thrilled with the result.

Part of last weeks installation, amazing result!
Repaired the broken wall, painted it, installed custom made water feature with copper pipes. Attached strings on to the wall for Jasmine to climb on and two pots with Liriope. Pictures of the full courtyard makeover will follow next week.

We often incorporate paving into our gardens. These areas are always well thought through and all aspects, aesthetics, durability and design are taken into consideration.
This client requested a very low maintenance area. We opted to design a few level areas (to get rid of the bad slope which caused lots of mess) and installed gravel and hardy plants in a couple of flowerbeds. Turned out great!

Classical theme in this garden. Removed two lawn sections to be able to add more interest. The top section got a water feature, the bottom section got a paving/pot area after we lowered the unsightly man hole. Two before pictures and two after photos.

Some interesting and creative details from our latest installation.
Staghorns framed by a yellow, painted frame, trough placed on a custom made balau timber shelf and bromelias attached to an old style wall, secured by chicken wire and roots covered with bark.

Our client wanted help to utilize the space of the side of her garden better. We came up with a "secret garden" theme which is now also loved by her little daughter.
We first attended some drainage issues, then went on to create different level areas, making it use-friendly. Recycled slasto, trendy again, which was already on site.
