Soft landscaping - Planting and Turfing - is carried out to create the final visual aspect of the garden, although this is usually completed by our client's maintenance teams.
Driveways are installed using basic block paviors, as well as using rumbled setts, granite setts and natural stone, and are used in a creative way.

Responsibilities and Duties:
