Sue has a great eye for colour, texture and being green fingered herself likes a high standard of vigour and interest in her garden. We undertook a full restoration by weeding, pruning, removing one tree to another garden and installing a great many other trees, herbaceous perennials and bulbs. We also top dressed and fed the lawn and all the beds, installed a slate and ball water feature all in the back garden.

Later we also did a treatment to the front and added two feature pots at the front door for a subtle and uplifting effect.
