No Potholes - the entrance we deserve!


At last, I hear you all cry! We have sorted the potholes at the entrance to the Nursery. They had progressiveley got worse over the winter and were a real embarassment, but with the help of G Hill and Sons we have redone the entrance and it looks great. The approach is now what you expect from a company priding itself in Landscaping. It is much easier now to come and visit and we look forward to seeing you soon.

When it is OK to bury plastic!

Faced with a structural problem of adding top soils behind a dry stone retaining wall – we were advised by our structural engineers ( Brenda Marsh at Hannah Reid ) to build up the levels in polystyrene blocks, designed for the purpose. The hole has been dug and blocks of polystyrene 610mm x 1200mm x 2400mm ( the size of a baby elephant! ) have been laid in. These blocks will be buried and a Spanish terrace built on top.
My only question remains as to what our successors will think in later archaeological digs when they strike polystyrene?
