Fences, timber structures and more

As well as our garden maintenance, planting and lawn services, we also offer a range of structural and landscaping services that compliment nicely. This means that we are often able to tackle projects from start to finish.

We mostly carry out structural work, such as fencing, during the winter months from January to March when much of the garden maintenance work has slowed down. A recent highlight was this traditional split rail fence, complete with sturdy wooden gates.

We love working with timber! The diversity of projects that we have been involved in mean that we never get bored. How about a nice little bridge over a brook? Or a bug hotel made from reclaimed palettes? Or some steps made from coppiced wood? The possibilities are endless...

Just a stack of old pallets, right?
Now it’s a five-star hotel for bugs!

We also love making sheds or outbuildings even more useful. Here are a couple of projects where we've added in walls to make space more useable, from adding the fourth wall to a brick structure to enclosing space under a treehouse for use as a log store.

We can also turn our hand to smaller jobs such as compost bins, exterior shelving from reclaimed pallets or even some patio furniture made from repurposed plant pots! With a clean, sand and oil we can also renovate your tired looking outdoor furniture.
