Landscaping job

Posted by Linsey Evans on July 30, 2009 at 12:48pm in Landscaping
Hi all - I've just had an enquiry from someone in Walthamstow, East London and wonder whether anyone is interested in giving a quote. The client wants some clearance (no hard paving) and then gravel laid - I suggested using the self-binding type. They really don't need a plan for this, but I'd would like to pass on the work to anyone who's interested. If you drop me an email I'll put you in touch. I do have contractors that cover London, but they're all busy and I think this might be a little small for them.Linseywww.linseysgardens.com

    This client is talking about using gravel as they don't want to pay out for paving, but they have cats and don't want it to end up as a huge litter tray, hence the suggestion of self-binding gravel. I've used it on paths within a garden scheme and it looks fab. Cleve West did a show garden a few years ago at Chelsea and used it on the terrace area - it looked amazing. CED does a range of different sizes and colours - the silver grey is particularly nice.

    Sorry Lindsey, too far for such a little job.

    Why the self binding gravel? This is ideal for country paths, rahter horrible for a back garden?

    Hi Stuart - CED does some really great products - I was having problems finding black granite setts and they were able to get some for me, and I always get black Limestone paving from them. The self-binding is under 'footpath gravels' and comes in four different colours. This job in Maidenhead is the one on which I used the silver gravel http://www.linseysgardens.com/port_lewis.asp. We've also just used the more traditional cream coloured stuff on my Kenley, Surrey job. The CED self-binding gravels seem to be just a little more refined than the more commonly used Breedon gravel and are therefore much more useful in a garden setting. I wouldn't hesitate to suggest it to clients as a cheaper (maybe compromise) if they can't afford to lay slabs.

    Hi Linsey

    Walthamstow is not a million miles from us but we are pretty busy at the moment. Our earliest slot would be mid to late September, if thats any good. Being a small job, the cost of travelling might take it over budget too.

    Contact me if you want to talk further
