Garden Elements
We build garden elements such as water features, decking, and paths with precision and durability. Each feature enhances beauty, function, and flow within the landscape.
Garden Construction
Garden construction transforms outdoor spaces with features like paving, decking, and planting. It combines design and craftsmanship to create functional, lasting gardens.
Case Study - Elevated fence
This study follows the design and construction of a contemporary fence on the top of an existing wall.
Elevated fence - design to completion
The first challenge with this project was finding a way to secure the new fence onto an old stone wall. It needed to withstand strong winds while protecting the integrity of the wall itself.
Our solution was to design a bespoke post support system, fixed to the wall using high-strength resin and bolts, and cleverly concealed behind the fence for a seamless finish.

Case Study - Formal water feature
Project design was the key to this project. The customer wanted a water feature but was not sure of what kind, size or shape. After our first meeting, we proposed a formal, 'L' shaped pond with a water blade to create movement and interest.
After the initial design was agreed, the materials for the external surfaces were agreed and a quotation submitted.
