The Icing on the Cake!

You know you have satisfied clients when they not only throw a big garden party for friends, family and all involved in the creation of the garden, but they also have a cake made specially ... in the shape of the garden!

I've been very lucky and had some wonderful clients over the years, and for me, seeing and hearing about the pleasure they get from their new garden really is the icing on the cake! This particular project was a real treat, and everyone involved really went the extra mile to produce a fantastic result: a credit to the whole team. The garden owners are caring for it lovingly, so that it is developing to its full potential. It's hard to believe that the garden is less than a year old, as it is already looking very established. I'm happy that the garden fits very comfortably both in the wider setting and with the house, and that it reflects the personalities and tastes of its characterful owners.

As the evening cooled down and the party goers retreated indoors, I got to see how it looks at night time; a side I hadn't been able to see before, despite having designed the lighting scheme. Quite subtle, but very atmospheric.

  • my lord beautiful .....and the construction cost?

  • thanks all for your comments!

  • Hi Rose.  This looks wonderful, love the up-lighting.

    Did you include an Olive tree in the design? Jas   www.villaggioverde.co.uk

  • Thanks Jas! No olive trees - they are not reliably hardy round here, sadly!

"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…

"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…"
