A border planted to look interesting all year round in the garden of a public house.

I am proud to present a selection of some garden development projects undertaken over the past few years. I want to develop or look after interesting gardens imaginatively and skilfully. I am a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable plantsman. I work alone most of the time but with hired assistance if absolutely necessary. I also undertake restoration and careful clearance of overgrown gardens or areas within them, which often then leads to further work in the production of a new garden. I can deal with some types of estate work.

While I have constructed many whole or part gardens using a variety of materials, these days I am more interested in smaller projects and preferably working with real stone, not artificial concrete-based materials. I am not interested in 'competitive quoting'- i.e. to see who is the cheapest. The three biggest projects in this portfolio were further jobs for returning clients who I know personally and obviously none of these jobs were 'cheap'.

Above: 3m wide steps leading to or from a swimming pool, all done in 'black' Indian Sandstone.
