The schism's in design, landscape and horticulture
John Brookes says he's been battling for thirty years to 'bridge the curious schism between horticulturalists and designers'. I hope it's a battle he's not going to win: in my view, it's a division that many designers are happy to maintain because I think they feel that they are a class above b...

Invest in a landscaped garden for your second home
I am sure that there are several reasons why people buy a second home - either to get away from the drum of the day job for some peace and quiet at weekends, for long-term investment purposes or perhaps for a holiday home for oneself or to rent out for a little income. Whatever the driving ince...
Excellent advice again from Phil.
Remember that when using steel mesh in footings the standard mesh to use is A393 with 200mm pitch, the mesh is the skeleton with in concrete and concrete will burn you no matter who you are always treat with care.
I should know I bear the scars from concrete burns.

Creating good concrete foundations for a garden wall
I have seen many a garden wall that has cracked or moved because of the builder cheating or miscalculating the quantity of materials for the construction of the wall foundations. Ask a house builder what the most important part of the house structure would be and he will say, I am certain, is...

Sustainable Drainage Systems SUDS
It is now law that surface water run-off from gardens should be controlled so that flooding is avoided. Home-owners and landscaping companies have a duty of care and a legal obligation to discharge surface water, that cannot naturally find its way into the sub-soil, into a proper drainage chann...
No planning permission required!
Planning permission can be both time
consuming and costly to obtain. Forty
percent of Councils responding to a
recent survey say that they have
taken action to enforce the new Front
Garden Legislation.
Planning permission is not required
when using permeable paving
system incorporating both the blocks and
aggregates, meaning a hassle free, legal,
sustainable solution.
