Over the years, we have designed and built numerous gardens throughout Hertfordshire, including the St Albans neighborhoods of Marshalswick, Sopwell, and Verulam. Here are the popular styles we offer:
Featuring formal lines, natural stone paving, and classic plantings like box hedges and ornamental alliums.
Including clean rendered walls, granite or porcelain paving, and bold architectural plants like ornamental grasses and phormiums.
Incorporating lush, exotic plantings, hardwood decking, and soothing water features for a vibrant yet relaxing atmosphere.
Utilizing reclaimed materials, timber pathways, and versatile plants like bamboo and ferns to create a calming atmosphere in limited spaces.
Contemporary outdoor spaces often incorporate natural materials such as sandstone paving and timber decking. For St Albans homes, durable alternatives like porcelain tiles and composite decking are increasingly popular, especially in urban settings and new garden installations.
Modern landscape design successfully blends traditional elements with contemporary features to create functional family spaces. We recommend selecting low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plants that attract beneficial insects and birds, resulting in an easily managed garden that remains beautiful throughout the seasons. Contact our St Albans team for expert guidance on creating your ideal outdoor space.
Current landscape design trends include tranquil urban retreats, heritage-inspired garden themes, and environmentally conscious elements such as native plant species, composting systems, and features that attract essential pollinators and local birdlife. Our designs focus on creating natural habitats within your garden.
These eco-friendly approaches are valuable for both city gardens and larger country estates throughout Hertfordshire.
Once your plan is approved, we provide a detailed quotation for each element, clearly outlining the budget and timeline for your St Albans project. Our experienced team specializes in creating timeless landscapes through meticulous planning and execution.
Following plan approval, we carefully clear and mark out your existing garden to help you visualize the transformation. All construction work is handled in-house by our dedicated team using premium materials, ensuring the highest standards for your perfect outdoor space in St Albans.
The planting phase is the final and most rewarding part of your project. As experienced horticulturalists, we recommend plants perfectly suited to your garden’s specific conditions and design aesthetic, while incorporating your personal favorites to create a truly personalized space.
