New products and finished gardens

Well what a couple of weeks its been, I have just finished my latest design and build commission and developed a gorgeous new product at the same time.

The client brief was to design a low maintenance garden for their newly acquired holiday home. The converted barn is to be let out part time to paying guests and needed to be given a new lease of life.

It started out as a blank canvas and was open to the elements with a strong wind coming off the fields from behind and the front was overlooked by a road and the neighbours.
The client also wanted some easy to care for planting areas for her to plant up herself, a herb areas was requested as well.

So armed with my design and 47 pressure treated sleepers work began. We were lucky with the weather and although very windy it stayed dry for most of the first week and fairly sunny for the half of the second.

The best way to illustrate the transformation is with pictures so below find before and after photos.

This brings me neatly to the new product featured in the photos, my beautiful decorative panels.
Each custom made panel is unique featuring reclaimed tools and can be used as individual art pieces or to frame an entrance. I also make gates to order in the same style contact shadows for more information www.shadowstopiaryhire.co.uk

"I did wonder that but it's not getting 12v at all on the trigger wire, so I don't think it's being "asked" to energise "

"Can't find the MHHP manual online, but the other Etesia mowers have an engine bypass lever, to allow the mower to be pushed etc. If you operated this lever prior to winter storage, you'll need to put it back to normal position. "
