Landscaping back garden. New patio area in a garden in Calcot

Not beating about the bush let’s see what the patio area looked like before and after.



And some still photos of the same area..

Our job was to remove old decking, clear out old patio, and gravel. Install new gully and channel drains including all the connections needed.

The next stage planned for this garden by the owners is to lay artificial grass – someone else’s job as we don’t do it.
Due to the above the edges around the new patio have been left as is.

Together with my great son we’ve done a quick topiary work on this conifer.

One of us was responsible for trimming whilst the other for tidiness afterwards. I think both of us have done a brilliant job ! 🙂

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..

Planting started but not yet completed

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!
