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

"Are you able to provide a few more details?  Maybe things like the number of hours you've used it, where you are based, what jobs you've used it on?"

"Yes, this an upsetting drawback with no solution I can see. Maybe send in reptile beaters before strimming"

"Plus it doesn't matter if we all know plants are better value. I'd make the point of this to the customer but if they want trough grown at the extra cost that's their choice I'd just do it"

"I've done 5ft Thorne troughs. Very easy to plant just got a mini digger dug the trench then drop them in couldn't be easier however £250 per m does seem expensive. "

Thought I'd sign up to this forum. And I hope I'm allowed to post stuff for sale on here as this will be a one off? I have for sale a tiny pro robot, it's not the new edition but it's the bigger one of the two. If anyone is interested then please…

"Agree with you Graham, we have a client with a long run of Laurel which we only cut once a year mid june and have done for over 20 years, the client is fussy with a capital F ! It's a superb evergreen hedge which is bomb proof.
As to this so called…"

"Disagree there!  I maintain a site with a couple of of large laurel hedges and one cut in July suffices and keeps it looking nice.  Agree.... looks nasty immediately after cutting but quickly perks up so you don't notice the cut leaves.  Pretty much…"

"That's pretty much my thinking, but I am seeing them more and more. Mostly at expensive new builds. Mostly people with very limited gardening experience wanting an immediate finished product. "
