Landscaping in Reading

Landscaping in Reading. Landscaping project now completed.

I reckon it’s best to show some before and after photos. I also have a movie before and after so you can judge for yourself how good are work had been.
We followed a vision of an owner who knew exactly what he wanted albeit not from the very start, which caused some problems along the way.
We at Tidy Gardens would stipulate on proper thorough plan before any work is carried out. We are happy to discuss, advise and suggest our best ideas that we think will meet your desires before we start the project.

For this garden, the owners first vision was to have a semi circle pathway running between two entrances to the garden, from either side of the house. Then a large lawn area in the middle and flower beds between newly created pathway and a fence. Owners idea evolved into a patio area and another line of flags to be added along the house. Ultimately the lawn area was closed inside a small ellipse.

There’s still planting to be done, which the owner wants to do himself.

Without further ado..

Please have a look at the video showing the garden before this landscaping project

And the same video after landscaping has been done

Majority of landscaping work was done in the back garden, as shown on photos above. However, we have also been asked to shrink the front flower bed, therefore extend the driveway to accommodate 2 cars. It’s been done using same paving blocks to match the existing driveway.

Here’s what the driveway looks like after our landscaping work.

Are you looking for a garden landscaper to improve your garden?. Reading Landscapers @ Tidy Gardens can do it for You

Few days ago our Reading landscaper started a new project that includes:

–  Removal of part of a wooden fence and a brick wall built instead.
–  Brick wall with a narrow planter at the bottom to accomodate some herbs / flowers..
–  Decking constructed ( 30m2 ) of hardwood timber ( western red cedar )

Some plants have to be moved as well to include japonica Hivernant and some roses. Still dormant time so these plants shouldn’t have problems to adopt in a different place..

Our landscapers definitely recommend choosing hardwood decking boards. Few advantages of this material below:

  hardwood has natural, rustic, authentic appearance that none of the coatings, paints etc used on softwood can replicate.
  hardwood is exceptionally strong, durable and naturally resistant to rot and insect resistant. You pay more but you get a product that will outlast any other softwood constructions.
  hardwood decking is generally a very good choice for longevity, beauty, and overall performance.

Below few photos of the area under construction..

One shrub ( japonica Hivernant ) transplanted

Some photos of the deck being constructed…

With spare wood we created this bespoke and unique garden table. It was designed to fit 8 people.

And finally some photos of the overall look.. New hardwood decking and a new brick wall with a planter box built in..
