Garden refresh – Twickenham
Scope
Embarking on a garden refresh in Twickenham, our goal was to rejuvenate a tired space lacking interest, featuring an unusual mound at its centre.
Our scope involved creating a family-friendly garden with room for football and horticulture while ensuring year-round plant interest and addressing screening needs due to a raised public footpath.
Description of work
Rear Garden
- In the rear garden, our process began with tree removal and fence erection, followed by terraforming to incorporate high-quality humus-rich soil.
- We then laid 110 sqm of sandstone paving and installed electric and irrigation pipes.
- Simultaneously, our team brought in 400 sqm of arena gold turf and planted 550 plants, bulbs, and trees of various sizes to add vibrancy and texture to the space.
- To address screening needs, large evergreen Trachelospermum (Chinese Jasmine) was planted on a wire frame along the rear fence.
