For the 18th CONSECUTIVE winter we are offering our very popular "off-season" discounts which represent considerable savings on our 2011 prices!!! As well as the massive savings, the winter months are the ideal time to create a water garden, or any garden for that matter, ready to "Spring" into life!!!
Ref:CHELSEA/1 just yards from the busy Kings Rd...very difficult access, everything had to be brought in through the house itself.
Which was easy compared to other London projects. Such as creating a major garden at the Chelsea Flower Show. And building THREE roof gardens, in ONE Barbican Penthouse, using TWENTY TONS of rock, building materials, soil and plants, and move everything THIRTY THREE FLOORS up in the service lift!
So...we cleared this Chelsea garden, and in front of the tree to the right (and to get your bearing in the next pictures make a visual note of the trunk), we built the "Water Garden".
Before I show you that, here's the finished overall picture which emphasizes the feel of what I had to achieve, in a space that is so overlooked...
CHELSEA/2 And finished. The tree is to the right, out of the picture...
CHELSEA/3 And there's the trunk of the tree I pointed out earlier...
Ref: HAMPSTEAD/1 Just yards from the very noisy Finchley Road I had to create a haven of peace! This is a finished but yet to mature view.
Notice (to get your bearings),the very bare brick pillar.
HAMPSTEAD/2 Very bare and new.
HAMPSTEAD/3 And this is just one year later!
HAMPSTEAD/4 Here's the bare pillar I mentioned...
HAMPSTEAD/5 Although we love creating Natural Water Gardens, we have to be skilled in all aspects of Hard and Soft Landscaping.
If you've got time I'll show you around...
HAMPSTEAD/6 Here's a broad view of the finished space.
HAMPSTEAD/7 That was the back, this is the front of the house...next is the transformation of what was a very boring area, but add a few semi-mature plants and some hidden irrigation...
HAMPSTEAD/8 Well to be honest, more than a few.
No Water Feature here but we could easily fit a small one in amongst the planting.
HAMPSTEAD/8 The front is split into two, here's the other side...follow me into another world...the world of Zen!
