Phew - 2008 is flying by at the moment. Here’s another update of some of our current projects.
The good news is that our project in Weybridge has now been fully signed off by the client and they have been in touch to say that the new garden is already getting complements from neighbours and visitors. The bespoke metal railings were the last component of the garden to be installed (along with the Hornbeam hedge that sits behind them) and these really were the ‘icing on the cake’. We hope to have some photos of the site in the ‘case studies‘ part of the website soon. This project was split into two separate phases, and the work just completed was the first of these - the second phase is loosely scheduled for late 2008/early 2009 and will see the construction of a formal terrace and lawns in the 1/3 acre site.
Construction has continued apace in Rowledge and the hard landscaping is virtually complete. We’re meeting the clients shortly to run through the planting proposals, though it is likely that much of the planting will be delayed until the autumn. We expect to plant up the area immediately around the house as this is the part of the garden that will be used the most in the summer (and is the easiest to maintain) with the lower terrace levels being left until later.
In Farnborough work is progressing well on our project at the sloping site, though the contractors are now getting a little distracted by the planes practicing their air displays for the Air Show! At the time of writing work was focussed on the construction of the main water feature that will link the two levels of the garden - here’s a photo of the work in progress (below). We’ve also agreed the planting proposals with the client but, as with our Rowledge project, the client is keeping an eye on how the ‘long hot summer of 2008′ develops before committing to a planting date.
We’ve also presented our sketch proposal for the small family garden near Hook - the clients were pleased with our concept and we’re now moving forward to the more detailed design stages. We’ve also agreed the final concept for a front & back garden project in Sandhurst and we’re now developing the drawings needed by the contractors and will be meeting the client on their return from a business trip to agree materials and finishes.
