Planning & Landscape Specialists

I conduct an initial assessment with prospective clients to ensure that their needs, wants and requirements are met whilst also advising on potential design ideas. During my initial visit a site assessment will be carried out. The site is surveyed including a contour plan where necessary. A detailed specification, contract of works, quotation, programme of works and a plan is produced for consideration/approval by the client.

This was an extremely challenging job to undertake, the client wanted a level lawn from left to right across the garden, but the site had a cross fall from one side to the other of about 900 mm.

This meant building a retaining wall down one side of the garden to retain the earth, but as the lower part of the garden was a boggy marsh area, a concrete pad had to be constructed on 14 piles to ensure the foundations were stable enough to hold the wall.This was a traditional design that is in keeping with the surrounding area and the property itself.

The children and staff are really enjoying the space you have created and parents are very impressed. Having sought 4 or 5 quotes for a complete garden redesign, I had no hesitation in opting for PAL's. Peter was clearly extremely knowledgable, had great attention to detail, and his creative ideas helped us to come up with a fantastic garden design.

Improving your home can be quite a stressful time, but the following can make sure that the whole process runs as smoothly as possible and you get the best from your contractor. A good contractor will be happy to provide references, so ask about previous work they have done for other customers. If they are a member of a trade association, check the membership criteria, and that they really are a member.
