Muscari stripes

Muscari bedding at one of our gardens recently.
This site was planted with 11000 Muscari bulbs by the soft landscape team last October to create blue stripes across the lawn for spring interest.
Muscari aucheri Blue Magic was used as it is noninvasive and the flowers are double headed so give twice the effect.

Ha Ha


In a new direction for us, but building on exisiting skills we currently have a team having "fun" constructing 180m long Ha-Ha near Chipping Norton using gabion baskets and dry stone walling stone to extend the clients garden into the field without having the views disturbed by fences.
 
Ha-Ha's were designed to provide stock proof barriers while allowing the view from the house to remain unimpeded. Generally around the larger country Houses they allowed Cattle and Sheep to appear to graze in the fields right up to the house, without the need for Parkland railing or more visually intrusive wooden fences.
 
It is very rewarding to be involved in  creating a new Ha-Ha.

A Courtyard Redesign

A local Hotel asked us to help with the re-design of a small courtyard from an untidy area of vehicle parking to a new garden and pedestrian pathway.
A simple but very effective job.
Start to finish in under a week.
