They can be laid over existing concrete or tarmac, even if it’s worn, cracked or uneven - creating a beautifully smooth, hardwearing, low maintenance and non-slip surface.
They are available in many different colours and textures and are perfect for drives, paths, patios and car-parks.

DeckingDecking
We offer decking in both hardwood and softwood to suit both design and budget, enabling your home to seamlessly extend into your garden.
Decking is a popular choice to use as an entertainment area for those summer gatherings or candle-lit al fresco dinner parties. You could have some stunning finishing touches which could ‘wow’ your guests such as planters, creative lighting, solid handrails, rope, trellis, picket fencing or metalwork.
Our non-slip decking can be built on many surfaces and can be low-level, raised or canter-levered. Our experts will advise you with regards to building regulations.

Raised BedsRaised Beds
Raised bed gardening is perfect for ‘grow you own’ vegetables and plants.
You can grow in otherwise unsuitable ground conditions by choosing quality soil for the crops you wish to grow.
The raised height of soil improves drainage and increases rooting depth, allowing you to grow a huge variety of vegetables in a confined space. The close-net structure of the plants also encourages a micro-climate creating healthier and bigger crops.
You can work at a comfortable height which is especially good for wheelchair users or those with back problems.
Raised beds are crafted from wood and we can also supply protective tunnels or netting.

Shrub BorderShrub Border
Shrub borders can be as simple or as creative as you like. You will be able to come to our nursery to hand pick your very own plants. Our experts will advise you on the best shrubs, bushes, trees, plants and flowers for your garden depending on the climate in your area and soil conditions.
By laying a weed barrier membrane before planting limits the re-growth of weeds. This process also minimises watering as it is very effective in retaining moisture, even in the height of summer.
Different areas within your border can be made as a feature, for example - Mediterranean, scented, movement, evergreen and flowering. We certainly love a challenge!
