Bennessere, Bromsgrove
A friend of mine asked me to design a garden for her high class hair and beauty salon. The design brief was simple, it had to include the rock water feature which she had ordered and reflect the clean lines and colours of the salon and there would be no gardeners on site to maintain it and to look good all year and outside lighting for winter months for customers to use. I found it fairly easy, the hardest part was getting a half ton rock in from the roadside and in through a narrow passageway and up onto its' current position without loosing any fingers!!! Hope you like it!

The Pink Garden
Updated 7 months ago
This is my new garden created 5 years ago for a brand new house, hence not plant friendly as there was only clay and builders rubble...typical of new gardens. You will notice that I create my own gardens to suit my busy life without grass and about 10 hours maintenance a year if that! Again my partner helped me with the hard landscaping...boys and their toys he had great fun with the mini-digger! Again we had a flooding problem as we have the lowest garden plot on the estate and looked out on a muddy swimming pool when it rained. We had to put in a network of drainage pipes under the membrane and gravel in the back garden. We still have temporary solar lighting at the moment, and we will put in feature lighting later.

The Blue and White Garden
Updated 7 months ago
I created this garden for myself 12 years ago. It was a small modern terrace garden. The before image you will have to imagine as complete with 4ft high grass and 6ft dock weeds...I could not use the garden at all. I designed the garden to fit my needs and to overcome a major flooding issue at the bottom of the slope by the back door as the garden was a clay slope. My partner helped me with the hard landscaping. Sadly the property has been let for 5 years now and is slowly becoming a weed jungle again!
