Ben & Tamil, Rayleigh
After moving into their marital home, Ben & Tamil had a great garden space, unusable due to the previous owners eradication of all grass to work around her pets.
​
Once the site was cleared of over 20 tonnes of stones, rubble and hardcore, Alexander James Garden Services was able to come in. Starting with bringing up the ground level to lay a lush, family friendly lawn. Re-purposing of railway sleepers to make a pathway. Moving the raised planting bed to better flow with the garden. Also new borders to contain colorful new and existing shrubs and perennials.

Charlotte & Clare, Brentwood
Having had the most beautiful kitchen/living room extension added to their home, Charlotte and Clare needed a stylish exterior to compliment.
Using the existing shape, a new lawned area was created, a fragrant lavender border implemented and striking espaliered trees added to the boundary fencing. On the other side, a mixture of stumpary/tall grassed area (to be added to over this coming season) allowing them to stay close to, and introduce, new wildlife.
