Other landscaping services
Sometimes clients require additonal services beyond
those described on the design
pages. Over the years I have built up a range of services which
can be adapted to your particular needs.
I will involve specialists with whom I have worked to help you get the best out of your garden and to overcome any problems or to move your project on.

- in conjunction with a tree surgeon, I will give you a health
report of the trees and the work that needs to be done to improve their
health; reduce the amount of shade they create; or improve visibility
- Soil analysis
