About the project
This was an ambitious project aimed at creating a woodland-themed garden, complete with northern feature landscaping elements. The process involved meticulous planning and execution, incorporating native plant species to recreate the essence of a northern woodland. Key aspects included installing a natural-looking water feature, crafting shaded garden areas, and integrating a well-balanced mix of perennials and shrubs to create a year-round aesthetic appeal.
Challenges & solutions
One significant challenge was ensuring the garden's natural look while integrating it seamlessly with existing landscape features. To achieve this, we employed a technique of layering different plant varieties and incorporating natural stone and water elements. The team also had to adapt the soil and shading conditions to suit the northern plant species, requiring careful selection and placement of plants for optimal growth.
Outcome
The completion of this project transformed the client's outdoor space into a tranquil woodland garden, complete with a harmonious blend of flora, water features, and shaded areas. The garden not only met the client's vision but also became a haven for local wildlife, enhancing the property's ecological value. The client was thrilled with the natural beauty and peaceful ambiance of their new garden, praising our team for the seamless integration of diverse elements.
In the aftermath of a severe windstorm, our team at Grass Gremlins faced the urgent challenge of removing a large tree that had fallen and obstructed a residential area.
