Frosty days! We're busy putting down a lot of manure and bark chips ready for good looking spring beds!!

Our favourite fence panels. The trellis top does a good job of softening the top edge, letting in more light but still creating privacy. ⠀

This replaced a worn out fence of wood panels, concrete posts, and concrete gravel boards. This is much more fitting for the space!

Freshly laid shingle. It's always surprising how much of a difference it makes! ⠀

We put down a heavy layer of mulch in the beds here too. Foliage and flowers contrasted against dark soil is always pleasing to see.

This clear out was a bit tougher than it looked - a fair few small trees had been cut to below soil level making it hard to turf over. Some manual labour later and we finally got a nice flat bed to work with. The end result was really pleasing.
We saved some nice shrubs on the north facing side. Later we added climbing roses planted along the south facing border. At the bottom of the garden are some huge Buddleja forming an arch over the gate entrance.
A lovely garden that traps a lot of sun!

It's been a wet week (!!) but we're getting there.

This is a new double leaf gate hung on existing posts (one of the posts being an H-beam, frustratingly! New metal drill bit added to the shopping list).

York paving slabs can be frighteningly heavy and a nightmare to lay. Fortunately we only had to clean these today.
Seeing the colours emerge is quite satisfying and never two are the same.
If you’ve got York paving, a clean and a repointing will probably transform the whole garden.

2020 and 2021 have been busy, challenging years for us here. We’ve had set backs, as have many businesses in our line of work. We’ve also struggled to keep up with the unprecedented demand while being painfully short staffed.
Now, as the season draws closer to the winter frosts, we want to thank our customers for sticking with us throughout these challenging times. We also want to focus on improving our communications with our customers, and to build new relationships to take us forward in to an exciting 2022.
As part of that, this is us now on social media. (Ta-Da!)

These are sections of pipe being installed in to an area of heavy clay to aid in drainage.
A large conifer once stood here. Since it was felled the area has become increasingly wet and boggy.
Adding the pipes will give the water somewhere to drain while it takes its time to soak away.
Now we can plant something here, ready for spring!
