Coming Spring 2007

Although estate agents are cagey about precise values, they do agree that an attractive garden makes a house much more saleable.

And a garden certainly has a huge part to play in how much you enjoy your home. TV makeover programmes and garden shows have dramatically raised our expectations of what a garden can offer us. We dream of ‘outdoor living’ in a beautifully designed space that incorporates a patio, possibly with barbecue, lit in the evening by candles or lanterns, a children’s play area, an organic vegetable patch, a lawn with colourful borders and stylish containers.

However, plants are living things that can be unpredictable. And there is some basic science involved: what are the soil and light conditions like in your garden, and how does this affect what can be grown? Asking the right questions and thinking about what you want is the key to success, so when looking at the garden of a new property, take the following into consideration : - size, immediate surroundings, trees, scope for planting, containers, usable space etc.

If your new or old garden needs an overhaul, consider employing a garden architect / designer from Laurel Design to draw up a design for you. It’s much easier to work to a master plan that incorporates all your requirements, eg, colourful borders, sitting areas, privacy, a lawn, shelter and low-maintenance planting, than evolve a satisfactory design over a long period of time.

Laurel Design's qualified garden architect / designer's will discuss both their ideas and that of your own, and advise on the best possible solution for your garden.

Laurel Design's team of gardeners can either carry out the design work for your, or they can just supply you with the finished design for you to do-it-yourself or have the work completed by someone else.

Whether you have a small town garden or a large country estate let, Laurel Design, design the right garden for you.
