Garden Maintenance
We provide comprehensive garden upkeep including lawn mowing, hedge trimming, and seasonal treatments. Our team handles small back gardens to large estates with irrigation systems. Regular maintenance ensures healthy lawns through scarification, aeration, and feeding while managing moss and weed issues effectively.
Landscaping Design
Our landscaping service transforms tired gardens through tailored designs incorporating new planting schemes, soil improvement, and structural elements. We specialise in reviving overgrown spaces, creating functional layouts, and implementing sustainable drainage solutions while maintaining aesthetic appeal across Hertfordshire properties.
Fence Installation
We install bespoke fencing solutions including close-board, larchlap, and deer-proof options. Our service includes curved trellis additions, colour-matched treatments, and climbing plant integration. Fencing projects combine security with aesthetic enhancement through custom designs that complement property architecture.
Garden Flood Defence
Our flood prevention service addresses rising water risks through sustainable drainage solutions. We implement soakaways, channel drainage, and land grading techniques to protect properties. This includes installing flood defence barriers and modifying garden layouts to redirect water flow effectively.

We specialise in transforming agricultural buildings into functional spaces while preserving historical integrity. Our service includes planning applications, structural engineering, and specialist construction using reclaimed materials. Projects range from residential conversions to commercial developments incorporating modern amenities within traditional frameworks.
