Landscape and Garden Design, Construction and Maintenance

About Us image
  We are a small York based team of landscape gardeners and horticulturalists specialising in garden design, construction and maintenance.
  Founded in 2004, as gardeners we work with an awareness of our impact on the living world and a holistic approach to horticulture.  As a company, we have a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience which we share in order to constantly improve the way in which we work.  We like to work closely with our clients in order to achieve the best results and aim to deliver excellent service and value for money in everything we do.  We pay very close attention to detail in both design, construction and maintenance and draw influence from many styles of gardening and the natural world around us.  We are progressive in our approach and are constantly improving as we learn and develop as gardeners.  We work in a wide range of places from domestic rural and urban gardens, historic gardens, schools, woodlands, housing complexes and communal grounds.
Design

Design

We combine our clients' ideas with our own design skills and knowledge to create individual and unique gardens. We cover full re designs, planting plans or partial renovation planning. As with all our work, designing with the natural world and an understanding of native ecosystems in mind plays an important role in how we approach garden design.

Construction

Construction

We provide complete construction services from design to completion. This includes all aspects of hard and soft landscaping. We aim to work in a conscientious, responsive and flexible manor with minimal disruption to our clients and their neighbours. We tend to construct gardens in an organic manor and do not necessarily interpret designs in the same way a builder would an architects' drawing.

Maintenance

Maintenance

We offer regular maintenance visits to both domestic and commercial grounds and gardens. We limit the use of herbicides and other chemicals in favour of spending the necessary time needed to keep our clients' gardens maintained to a high standard. All our domestic machinery is battery powered to keep noise and emissions to a minimum. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits are available between March and November.

Garden/grounds management, development and consultation

Garden/grounds management, development and consultation

We offer consultation and planning services which are garden or grounds specific. Advice based on a survey of species, aspect, soil structure, plant health and long term aims can be submitted in the form of a garden manual. This is useful for clients who wish to be pro active in their garden but lack the confidence or knowledge to do so. As labour costs can be expensive this is a good way to help people wishing to maintain their own space. We also work with community and larger grounds organisations looking to work in a more ecologically sensitive way.
