Construction explained
Hard landscaping alone does not make a garden and on its own is like a stage with no actors…. underwhelming!
The creation of your perfect garden will require the dovetailing and integration of many trade specialists to ensure your perfect finished oasis which will likely include, as a minimum, specialists in paving, bricklaying, rendering, carpentry, lighting, and horticulture.
It is essential therefore that any contractor has all these skills to enable them to manage the successful delivery of your project and the experience and expertise to project manage all aspects seamlessly.
Like an iceberg, 90% of the delivery of a successful project may be invisible to you.
