I want to make use of my land as much as possible. The land is on a slope and I want to build a house on the land as well. I am not too sure what it is I want, I need to see what you have done previously to get an idea of what I am looking for.
Lawn maintenance Pruning and trimming
Old grass needs to be taken out completely and new grass needs to be laid down. I also want some flowers and plants planted as well to make it look nice. I want it to be beautiful and a place to sit as well. I am planning on putting chairs etc. there as well.
The site is too slopy needs a drive/pathway to reduce stairs parking for cars and a deck.
Scandavian style meets Japanese garden
Laying of lawn
We are having a problem with our neighbors. They are cutting down the trees from our yard and we need advice on landscaping and how we can rearrange the trees and correct the garden to suite everyone's preferences. I would also like to add a turtle pond to the garden for an animal we recently had rescued.
Current garden very overgrown and neglected - back garden is a shade garden with quite a few plants and shrubs that aren’t suitable for shade. Garden needs to be cleaned up and redesigned. The back lawn is very patchy as it doesn’t get much sun - seems to have a few different varieties of grass planted. Lawn needs to be dug up, soil fertilised and suitable shade grass planted. Front garden grass is fine as it is sunny. Plants overgrown which need to be removed and/or cut back and replaced with new suitable plants/ shrubs. Open to suggestions of what design /layout would be suitable so no specific style preference other than it should be water wise and easy to maintain.
