Gardens 4 U are a family business who have developed a reputation over many years for quality and customer service.
Because we are landscapers rather than builders we take a much more sympathetic view of your garden, the size and shape of the plot, its contours, natural drainage and the availability of light and shade.
The depth and breadth of our team means you get the benefit of hard landscaping experience coupled to soft landscaping expertise ... how to balance stone, brick and paving with plant, leaf and foliage to create that natural effect.
Our landscaping team work closely together complementing each others specialist skills ... skills which include stonework, paving, brickwork, block paving, trellis work, fencing ... all techniques of hard landscaping. Similarly ... soft landscaping like laying lawns, planting trees and shrubs, creating flower beds and borders.
Good garden design is very difficult to achieve, yet when successful can release the potential of an otherwise very ordinary piece of land, add value to the property and create endless pleasure to those who use and admire it. Above all good design is not only very beautiful, with a sense of scale and balance, but it also has to be eminently practical.
Gardens don't exist in isolation, they have to relate to their surroundings, the house to which they are attached, the proximity to neighbours and other properties, the limitations and constraints of the piece of land.
Good design incorporates a range of disciplines, an appreciation of architecture, an understanding of plants and horticulture, practical building skills like brickwork, masonry, timberwork and even some familiarity with water hydraulics for ponds and fountains. The design also has to meet the lifestyle and expectations of the owners.
Appreciate where there is light and shade, where the sun rises and sets on the garden, which areas are exposed and windswept, which are sheltered. Decide what you want from the garden and where your priorities lie, what the main functional areas are that you want to incorporate. Is is somewhere to eat outdoors, a play area for the children, a relaxing corner to read, spectacular flower beds, whatever your requirements, build them in at this stage.
Time spent before you start work will pay enormous dividends.
However you imagine your garden... a sparkling pond... flashes of brilliant colour... year round evergreens.... barbecues in those long summer evenings. It should be a place to relax, to enjoy with the family, somewhere you can go to unwind from the day, to pause and reflect. To achieve this ideal garden,to turn concept to reality you need the designers touch.... the experience and judgment of a qualified team of landscape gardeners.... gardeners who appreciate the seasons, who can select texture, size and colour, who know which materials to use and why.
The essence of modern garden design is not just about maximising the available space and shape of the garden, its contours, light and shade and the rotation of the seasons, above all its about designing to your lifestyle and your expectations. Good designers... the best at their craft.... understand their clients, appreciate what they want from a garden and incorporate this in the design. Gardens 4 U are qualified and experienced landscape gardeners we develop the closest working relationship with our customers, taking trouble to understand their requirements, reflecting these in final plans, layouts and planting schemes.
