FENCING: new or replacement larchlap or close board panels plus strong gates for added security. PATIOS: extra space to sit out and enjoy the garden on modern sandstone or traditional paving. DECKING: a good way to deal with sloping gardens or as an extension to the living area. TREE SURGERY: get more light back in your garden. STUMP GRINDING: release that extra space for more lawn or flower beds. HEDGE TRIMMING: normally twice a year for tidiness and to prevent it taking over the garden and spoiling the lawn. JET WASHING: decks, driveways, paths and patios to smarten them up and prevent accidents when slippery. LAWN TREATMENT: to kill the moss, scarify, aerate, weed, feed and improve your lawn. PLANTS: advice, selection and planting service to brighten up the garden.
