Little planting in Tilehurst

Oct 30, 2019 | Planting

Small, shady patch at the front of the house has had a small makeover. Previously two euonymouses and various weeds. We kept euonymouses, added 5 sweet boxes and topped it all with plenty of ajugas. Perfect choice for shady areas like this...

Planting in Shinfield, Reading.

Dec 2, 2018 | Planting

We’ve done some planting together with turfing and edging job for this customer in Shinfield already

, but we’ve been asked to come up with ideas for another area… So the idea was to create something like below

Originally the area was quite empty with one biggish viburnum and looked like this

Once cleared and rotovated it turned into a plain field..

And here we have started … Lonicera’s are in as a frame for some flowering perennials – we’ve given them 5 enclosures, one more than originally planned. Also some background along the fence – this one is my favourite plant.. wait and see for yourself, we should have that completed shortly.
Now waiting for more plants to be delivered..

TO BE CONTINUED … updated 09-12-2018

Cryptomerias have arrived, nice and biggggg.
We didn’t want them to wait so it has all been planted same day!

Planting in Reading – Maiden place

Jun 25, 2017 | Planting

Over the weekend planting of raised beds at a commercial site in Reading

Two raised beds that needed soil in the first place and then a planting scheme.
We have included all low, beautifully flowering perennials for these two beds.

Let’s no judge yet. It needs some time to show it’s true colours ! Fingers crossed

Refreshed gravel area and new ground cover planting

Apr 2, 2016 | Planting

Let’s not beat about the bush..

Was asked to refresh the area around the vegetable patches and come up with some planting ideas for two borders along the fence. Ultimately Low maintanance borders. Also to plant some bushes to provide some screening and be attractive as well.

Photos before and after:

New planting scheme includes:

Achillea nobilis asubs. neilreichii
Bergenias
Geranium macrorrhizum ‘Czakor’
Antehmis punctata subsp. cupaniana
Calluna vulgaris ‘Winter chocolate’
Armeria maritma thrift
Parahebe catarractae ‘Delight’
Ajuga reptans ‘Braunherz’
Forsythia spectabilis
Spirea arguta
Weigela burgundy
Caenothus Yankee Point

Few months later, that is today ( June 2016 ) I have been in the garden to see how things are doing. Everything’s good !
Plants have taken in, borders are full and everything looks much better ! Certainly an improvement.

Thanks for looking !
