For over 4,000 years landscape gardening and design has developed world wide, working in conjunction with nature and used to create stunning and natural looking gardens. Nature has been manipulated and scaled down to fit into the modern hectic lifestyles of today.

Modern landscapes cater for our ever changing needs for somewhere to entertain, relax and even play. These areas include hard landscaping in the form of a patio, decking or gravel area. The use of pergolas give an area to shelter from the summer sun as well as forming the perfect frame for many climbing plants. The use of water in the garden can create a calming, relaxing and tranquil setting as well as encouraging wildlife to share our gardens.

Modern houses tend to have small gardens and privacy in a key factor in the garden. The use of fencing gives instant protection and can be softened by the use of climbing plants and planted shrubs. Planting hedges is a long term investment and again encourages birds and wildlife in to our gardens. As our winters become wetter, the need to protect our lawns and plants increases. The use of land drainage helps to overcome these problems.

Garden Design and its implementation have changed over the centuries to suit the every day needs of people. It will continue to change because it is a subject that has everybody has their own views and ideas of how they want their gardens to look just as the clothing fashion changes. Gardens for recreation and pleasure are the pursuit of most homeowners of today and not just the privileged few.
