Over years of working with numerous London & UK based garden designers we have established a friendly, professional and efficient approach. Our dedicated and experienced landscape managers maintain high levels of communication between the designer, client and the workers on site. Making sure that the project runs smoothly and that the works are completed with care and full attention to detail.

Our main focus is to make sure that the relationship between the designer and the client and/or other agencies is maintained on a professional and reliable level to ensure projects are completed on time and within budget.

1. Assistance on Site – taking levels

Some sites require taking accurate levels in order to prepare correct drawings for the garden design specification. We are always happy to assist a designer in order to obtain the required detailed documentation. We can provide all the necessary equipment i.e. dumpy level, staff or long measuring tapes.

2. Technical Specification – Technical Aspects of Hard Landscaping

Our skilled team offers help and professional advice on the more technical aspects of hard landscaping, such as:

Modern garden design schemes tend to be more and more hi-spec and technically challenging to design and build. We are always interested in undertaking such projects and therefore on the commencement of any project we can work alongside designers on the required technical documentation for a project, including technical specification drawings, written instructions and material lists.

3. Water Features

Water features can be complex to construct and most of them require a thoughtful approach from the outset.
