Garden bulkhead lights - need help finding some!
Comments (10)Try ansell or firstlight. They seem to be around £18. Not as nice as the one in the photo above but still have the same vibe. Our electrician recommended ansell. I can't voucher for either of these suppliers as I haven't gone with them instead choosing Astro lighting. Good luck with your project, we are at the same stage, it's good to be near the end!...See MoreNeed help on my garden
Comments (1)If you look on http://www.sgd.org.uk/ you can search for designers in your area. All those listed have been vetted and must have Professional Indemnity Insurance to be an official Member of the Society of Garden Designers (MSGD). Many of them will be on Houzz as well as the SGD is affiliated with Houzz. Hopefully they also have reviews!...See Morefront garden renovation - need advice
Comments (12)Hi I would look to raise the lawn up level with the path to the front door by building a smart brick retaining wall. You could then plant a low ish hedge along the top to provide further privacy but keep it to no more than 4/5 ft to prevent it overpowering the space and blocking light. For that reason I'd avoid conifers of any sort as they are thugs and take a lot of managing. By raising the lawn from pavement level it will give you some privacy anyway. It'd be nice to loose the concrete kerb along the side of the drive too so it doesn't feel and look like the road! Perhaps continue the brick round till it feathers out to meet the path to the door? A feature tree of small to medium size would also be a nice addition to the lawn. Look for one with dual seasonal interest ie. Spring flower and Autumn colour such as Amelanchier or some of the flowering cherries. Good luck Neil...See MoreLandscaping help – what to do with garden walls on boundary?
Comments (4)I can't really tell from the pics how your neighbour's fence posts go in to the ground. That's the only sticky wicket. It looks like the retaining wall is purely inside the boundary and therefore, shouldn't affect the fence. You would ideally take away some of the bricks from near the bottom of the fence post to see how it's secured in to the ground. ( ie, I can't tell if the fence post is sitting on the wall, attached to it etc, it looks like it's behind it, but check ). Here's a good site on installing sleeper walls. wooden supplies.co.uk...See Moremarlboro 99
