It’s been a busy year for everyone at Green Envy, we’ve been working hard (and safely) all the way through this pandemic; even taking on another member of staff.
In the last couple of months we’ve been busy getting gardens ready for winter!
Here’s a few before and after shots on some of the more unruly properties recently; lots of weeds to dig out (brambles galore), ivy to diminish, and shrubs to prune back:
Many thanks to Headland Printers for some fantastic sign writing on our vans!
Earlier this year we replaced an old and storm damaged fence for a customer.
Now, we’ve been back, on the second step of the journey to redesign this space. We’re after a relaxing space, with less grass to keep on top of. For this stage, we’ve focused on the bottom half of the garden to create a new decking area and wide border bed, to allow for shrubs and some climbers along the fence.
The next steps involve laying a unique patio and slate chipping design on the opposite side of the garden, with some raised beds, to really pull the garden together as a whole.
Step 1 complete- Well done to our colleague, Ollie, who managed to strip this overgrown tangle back to the wall this morning!
Though some tidying up of the stonework may well be in order, it already shows a lot of promise of being a beautiful garden wall.
We were told that somewhere under here, there was a wall to be found. But the flowers are lovely when out, so instead of removing completely, a hefty trim was in order. A tricky job, to be done by hand to ensure the plants are cut back in the right place.
Et Voila! A beautiful bit of walling has been unveiled,
without taking away any of the summertime display.
