Services
Garden Design
Our garden design service combines creative vision with technical expertise to create bespoke outdoor spaces tailored to individual client needs. The process begins with a topographical site survey followed by concept development incorporating client preferences and budget considerations. Using 3D visualisation tools, we present detailed master plans that integrate hard landscaping elements with planting schemes. The service includes material selection guidance, project cost estimation, and coordination of installation works by our in-house teams. Sustainability principles are embedded throughout the design process to ensure environmental compatibility.
Swimming Pool Installation
We design and build custom swimming pools that complement the architectural style of properties while meeting functional requirements. Our service covers pool shape and size determination, material specification, and integration with surrounding landscapes. Projects include both traditional concrete pools and modern PVC-lined installations with optional features like automatic covers and water treatment systems. The service extends to pool lighting, safety barriers, and surrounding terrace design. All installations meet current safety standards with electrical work carried out to NIC specifications.
Resin Driveways
Our resin-bound gravel driveways combine aesthetic appeal with practical benefits for residential properties. Available in multiple colour options, these permeable surfaces meet Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) requirements. The installation process involves sub-base preparation, resin mixing, and aggregate application to create durable, low-maintenance surfaces. We offer both standard and decorative finishes with optional edging treatments. The service includes site assessment, surface preparation, and long-term maintenance advice.
Garden Lighting
Our garden lighting solutions enhance both functionality and ambiance through carefully planned illumination schemes. The service includes selection of energy-efficient LED fixtures, placement strategy for safety and aesthetic impact, and installation of control systems. Options range from subtle mood lighting to security-focused installations with motion sensors. All electrical work complies with current regulations, with dimmable and smart control options available for client convenience.
Water Features
We create bespoke water features that serve as focal points in garden designs, from contemporary wall-mounted units to traditional ponds. The service includes feature design integration with surrounding landscapes, water circulation system specification, and maintenance planning. Options incorporate natural stone or modern materials with lighting enhancements. Installation covers waterproofing, filtration systems, and automated water level management to ensure long-term functionality.
