Garden redesign and landscaping in Hitchin, Herts

  • Location: Hitchin
  • Hired: Habitat Landscapes Ltd
  • Trade: Landscape Gardening
Job Description

We are looking to have our garden re-landscaped. ideally we would like to find someone who can do the whole job from start to finish, including:
- clearance of existing garden (including removal of one tree)
- design of new garden
- hard landscaping work (including some new fencing)
- advice on plant selection and planting tips
- possibly some planting of larger items (dependent on budget)

We have a small garden with side relief and are looking to make our garden more of an outdoor living and social space. Neither of us is a keen gardener, so we are looking for a garden that is easy to maintain. We have some design ideas, but realise that what we can do will be constrained by budget. However, we do know that what we are looking for is:
- mainly paved
- raised borders that can double as extra 'seats' / places to perch for parties
- an area for a kitchen garden (in fact, I would like most of the plants to be edible, if possible)
- a loosely Moroccan / Moorish design inspiration

Our wish-list items that would depend on budget are:
- a covered outdoor seating area so that we can use the garden in all weathers
- lighting

Although we would love to have the work done to enjoy the garden this summer, we are happy to wait until later in the year when you may have more availability. Please could you contact us to tell us more about your process and discuss a quote for our garden design and landscaping?

Small garden - Landscaping

  • Location: Stevenage
  • Hired: JEFF-MAC
  • Trade: Landscape Gardening
Job Description

Small garden needs landscaping.

The garden is approximately 10m by 6m in size (in my poor estimations).

The work we would like to be carried out (following a design brief with the tradesman)is as follows:

1. New patio to be laid (x2).
2. Brick built raised flower beds (x2).
3. Small turfed area.
4. Stone path (stepping stones).
5. Screened off bin area.
6. Plants & Climbers.
7. Disposal of all waste.

The above list is not 'set in stone' at present. Changes may be made prior to job being commenced. We would like to discuss our requirements with the tradesman regarding the design stage so that colours of patios, brickwork, etc are to our expectations.

There is rear access to the garden via a small alley. We are two houses in from the end of a terrace.

If there is anything I have missed, perhaps it could be discussed. Also, if a rough quote for this work/size of garden could be given we'd be very grateful.

* The following information was added Sunday, 12th April, 2009 :
Hi,

I have just added some photographs of the garden in it's current state. (Please excuse the mess).

Hopefully this will give you all an idea of size, etc for a more accurate quote.

Thanks again.
