This garden was made much more useable with the addition of block work terracing and steps, as well as an improved pathway. We used Raveena sandstone, concrete blocks and Golden Quartz gravel for a warm toned colour palette. Here's what the client had to say: "David did an incredible job on our garden. Not only did he make suggestions, find solutions to the issues we were having, he also went out his way with other ideas for areas of our garden that we hadn’t contemplated on. An existing ramp at the back door was causing problems, and a path to a patio at the top of the garden was problematic for a wheelchair user. Our garden is also on a slope. David completely remodelled and resolved all our problems. His commitment, dedication, passion and hard workmanship is a true reflection and his knowledge and experience are extensive ensuring everything is to the exact detail. Not one day did he let us down and communicated daily on what had been done. We are completely delighted with the finish product and manoeuvring a wheelchair user at ease, is a massive bonus. I would completely recommend Noble Landscapes if your pondering updating your garden or just looking for ideas. David is the man you need."

Grey Stripe Wooden Deck Chair / £30 / Rinkit Before: This garden was previously sloped at the back with no clearly defined areas. The client had created a plan which we worked to and the end results are quite the transformation! We used sleepers to build a retaining wall with a levelled area for greenhouse base, built to the installers specifications. This sleeper wall continues across the width of the garden with steps up to the greenhouse, a terraced section for the planting and built in bench at the back of the composite deck area. The client then planted up the garden and the project was complete. It's now a much more useable space and makes the garden flow beautifully from greenhouse to deck seating area. Here's what the clients had to say: "We wanted to make major changes to our garden layout, including changing and adding to the hard landscaping, new decking, a new play area for our child, and an area to accommodate a new greenhouse. David was wonderful to work with from the start. He understood what we wanted, gave his own suggestions and professional opinions on the details of the design, and we were very happy with the quote. The work was done when promised and took about 3 weeks to complete, which we expected. He worked incredibly hard, was very professional throughout, meticulous, and friendly whenever we came to see the progress and discuss next steps etc. The whole process was really enjoyable and we are so excited to now have a beautiful and functional space for the whole family. I would definitely hire David again for any future work in the garden and have recommended him to friends since." We recently posted about how it’s helpful to have ideas of what you’d like when you get in touch for a quote. If you’re keen to do your own research (and save booking a garden design package), here are some of our favourite books. These books feature a mix of planning, planting and inspiration with an emphasis on wildlife and sustainability 🌿
Of course, you'll also find lots of inspiration from real life gardens, magazines, Pinterest, gardening shows and more. These books are great for more details on how to plan what you want from your own space which makes it much easier for us to make it happen. At Noble Landscapes we’re happy to give you a free quote for your garden project. This usually involves adding you to our appointment waiting list, a site visit and project discussion, then giving you an accurate price for the works. This often includes a little bit of free garden design - working out the best way to execute your ideas, maybe even a sketch to go with the quote so we know we’re on the same page.
If you haven’t got any ideas for your garden makeover, or want more than a rough sketch, you’ll need to book a garden design package. This means we have the time to develop a plan to make the most of your garden and your budget. The design is yours to keep so if you decide you want to use the plans to do the work yourself that’s fine too. This simple garden makeover transforms the space in a minimal but functional way. With clean lines and clearly defined areas it's now a much more useable space.
Our waiting list is currently open for Autumn projects. Please do get in touch if you'd like to discuss your garden ideas. It’s the first day of Spring on Sunday! It’s may still be chilly, but if you fancy catching some sunshine a cosy picnic might be the perfect way. Or how about a BBQ on the beach? Here are some of our favourite accessories:
1. Spring Grey Sandstone - a classic but contemporary choice with varying shades of grey which works as a neutral base for a garden colour palette.
2. Cemento Grey Porcelain - for a high end modern minimal look with clean lines and smooth surface. 3. Raveena Sandstone - with subtle tones of oranges and pink for a warmer colour palette, works well with orange brickwork buildings 4. Concrete Slabs - an option for lower budgets which still looks smart and simple Of course, we can lay any type of patio - if you have a specific style in mind just let us know and we'll be happy to help. The clients wanted to transform this uneven area of the garden into a useable pathway round the house which could also be used as a seating area. The grey sandstone is laid in a grid instead of the classic pattern for a clean, minimal look. Here's what they had to say: "David was great at coming round to view the site and fully explained our options for different finishes and costs. Kept us updated on run up to work. He and his brother put in the path to a very high standard in less than 3 days, working quietly, cleanly and were very professional. David popped in after the storm to make sure all was ok. Would not hesitate to use again." |
