read moreWeed control techniques include removing weeds by hand pulling, hoeing, flame gun and application of herbicide and also prevention of weed growth by application of residual herbicide which prevents weed seed germination. For small infestations of such weeds we would usually recommend a regime of control with herbicide and for large infestations a combination of excavation followed by chemical control. We can also install sub-terrarium weed barriers to restrict spread. The use of chemicals to control weeds carries with it a responsibility towards the safety of employees and other site users and towards the protection of the natural environment.

Today he heads a team of experienced professionals with skills in walling, paving, joinery, metalwork, aquatics, turfing and planting. They have the expertise to transform the grandest of design concepts into a living landscape of the highest quality. Efficient, high quality construction is dependent on effective communication between those involved at every level of the construction process.

read moreAll our arborists are specialist staff who are comprehensively trained and fully insured to undertake work on any scale. They all hold nationally recognised training certificates from the National Proficiency Tests Council which include topics such climbing, aerial rescue, rope management and the use and maintenance of arboriculture equipment and machinery. Due to the potentially hazardous nature tree work - which involves climbing, use of chainsaws, falling timbers and sometimes use of chemicals - our team also adheres to stringent health and safety procedures to protect both themselves and members of the public.

Where required all pitches are marked out to official dimensions although space and age constraints often dictate proportional modifications to official dimensions. The paint used is high quality, ready-mixed professional line marking paint which, when applied in dry conditions, will remain in an adequate state of visibility for period of two weeks.

read moreAs a conscientious company we continue to implement procedures to help both protect and enhance the environment around us. Our innovative environmental policies can be summarised under three headings. We employ a multi-faceted approach to minimise any environmentally detrimental effects resulting from our activities. The most detrimental impact which a landscaping company can have on the natural environment comes from the irresponsible disposal of waste. Our treatment of waste differs distinctly from that of our competitors, many of whom still burn or landfill the vast majority of their waste.

read moreWe most commonly undertake such work in the gardens of vacant houses or in the grounds of vacant industrial buildings where the problems are often compounded by fly-tipping, vandalism and squatting. Typical work activities include intensive litter picking, clearance of rubbish heaps, removal of mud deposits along kerb edges, weed eradication, cutting of long grass, pressure washing of paving and chainsaw work to reduce overgrown trees and shrubs. The key to successful landscape restoration often lies with having the confidence to hard-prune trees and shrubs, which often means cutting them completely to the base.

read moreDesigns can be produced to suit your needs and budget and range from simple concept sketches to fully annotated plans complemented by 3-dimensional drawings detailing specific features of the landscape. Our landscape design service is usually a precursor to landscape construction works but can also be provided as a separate individual service. The landscape design process starts with a free preliminary discussion to establish the scope of the project, from which be provide a fixed free quotation for our design service.
