Step 1. Viewing. First step, when undertaking any landscape project, is organising a visit of our head landscaper to the clients' garden and discussing with them the desired garden transformation. The focus of that initial stage is to get an idea of the real picture and bring our customers' ideas to life with the project we re-create.

Step 2. Planning. Second step consisted of selecting the materials and plants suitable for the particular project and individual requirements we've took notes on the day of the viewing. Then, we offered different options to our clients so they could choose from and have their specific needs fully met. After everything was agreed upon and final price was given, we scheduled a date for the work to be started.

Step 3. Garden clearance and ivy trimming. The hardworking landscapers were sharp on the arranged day, ready to create miracles. They started by removing the old bushes and tidying up the whole area. There were flower beds, a shed and a tree that our kind client wanted to keep, so we worked around them. We also trimmed the ivy plants in the garden, so they looked neat and new growth and branching were encouraged. All the garden waste was removed and collected for disposal at the end of the day.

Step 4. Area preparation. The area designed to be turned into a healthy and beautiful lawn was prepared by adding of topsoil and a wetting agent that helps for holding the moisture underneath the turf. The preparation stage was finalized by raking the topsoil, so it could be spread evenly.

Step 5. Laying the turf. Our next step towards achieving the ideal garden look was to lay out the first piece of turf and butt it up into the corners. This was the pattern our experts used with each piece of turf laid. It was important not to kneel on the turf or stretch it. The landscapers cut carefully the turf pieces around the base of the shed and the tree. Then the team gave it a good soaking with a hose to encourage the roots to settle in.

Step 6. Replacing the existing patio with newly laid paving. The owners of this garden in Surrey Quays, SE16 had also wanted their existing patio to be replaced with a new paving. They had a small area of 8 sq meters in the front garden and another area to be paved of the same size in the back garden. Both areas were of a small size but multi-purposed, so a new paving was a great way to turn the garden into a cosy spot perfect for weekend gatherings or family events. The patio was created with attention to details so it could compliment the entire look of the landscaped garden.
