Time for a Garden Spring Clean

Now the snow has gone and the days are starting to get longer it’s time to think about the garden.  Early Spring is a great time to tidy up a garden.  The structure of the garden can be seen easily and plants can be divided and prepared for the warmer weather ahead.  Flowerbeds can be shaped, edged and mulched to stop any weed growth during the year.

We specialise in Tidy Ups and Seasonal Maintenance sessions.  If your garden is in need of a bit of TLC then  we can help.  Have  look here for more details and Contact Us to find out how we can help you.

New Design Video – Minimalist White Chic Urban Garden

[vimeo width="500" height="375"]http://vimeo.com/5028776[/vimeo]

Here’s the video showing the aerial views of the original design we produced for our client in Roath, Cardiff.  All our designs are produced in three dimensions allowing our clients to fully appreciate and understand our vision for their garden.  Here in Wales, where many gardens are on sloping sites, flat plans just don’t communicate the design.

We present all our designs on DVD and on paper as part of our Full Design Service

New Design – Minimalist White Chic Urban Garden

Minimalist White Chic Urban Garden min-white-materials min-white-2nd-design-l min-white-upper3-plan

We transformed this small garden in Roath, Cardiff into a modern and contemporary entertaining space.  By removing the old garage that wasn’t really used we increased the overall space by more than a third allowing two  separate areas – dining and cooking, as well as lush specimen planting.

Contrasting materials including sawn sandstone and composite decking were used to provide a clean crisp finish.  Lighting and a water feature that works it’s way through the length of the garden completed the effect.

You can see more of this design and the finished garden here

Spring Planting Combination – Pink and Blue

tulip-lithodora

Here’s a nice spring planting combination.  Tulipa ‘Pink Diamond’ with Lithodora ‘Heavenly Blue’.  There ia also Juniperus ‘Blue Star’ to the left of the photo too.  Lithodora is a great plant though it needs trimming every so often to stop it getting woody.  This combination was an experiment.  We’ll be adding more Pink Diamonds this autumn.

Here’s a pair of containers that we supplied for a client’s terrace – right outside the kitchen door – perfect for cooking!  Although the containers are only a metre wide and 30cms deep we were able to fit the following hardy herbs in there.

  • Bay
  • Curly leaf parsley
  • Flat leaf parsley
  • Chives
  • Oregano
  • Thyme
  • Lemon Oregano
