We’ve been very excited to become approved installers for Jackson’s fencing recently. Having been keen to promote their beautiful and long lasting (25year garauntee) wooden fencing anyway it makes a lot of sense to be official. We’ve installed Jackson’s fencing in Gravesend, Cobham, meopham and Greenwich so far. Not only is the wooden post a […]
Three tiers
It was lovely to see this Gravesend garden again, completed 4 years ago, the echiums have absolutely flourished! One of the things that is so great about landscaping in Kent is the micro climate we enjoy, so despite not being fussed during the winter these echiums have survived.
Cut flowers and Vegetables
We have been so thrilled to be managing this vegetable and cut flower garden at one of the properties we look after.

Yorkstone Garden – Stepping stones
I love this path, it links all the entry points in such a romantic way. We back filled around the stones with soil before the gravel so we plant the chamomile and creeping thyme around them.
Laying the stones ~ Yorkstone Garden
We were honoured to have worked with so much beautiful material. The weight of them never got easier but as the space developed it became more and more satisfying to complete each row.
Yorkstone Garden Prep
The prep for any job is the most important part, on a patio this size it took a lot of meticulous level checking, line checking etc at each layer. To make sure the finished build up height at each junction would match with the height of existing features and graded correctly in order to deal […]
