Gardens
Six from the last couple of years, one of each kind. Every one started with a visit and a sketch, was priced in one figure, and was built to drain.
Full buildCowbridge
A sloping, waterlogged lawn and a concrete slab. Regraded to two levels with a sandstone patio and pergola by the house, a lawn for the children and deep borders of grasses, salvia and lavender on a gritted bed. Five weeks.
Full buildLlantwit Major
Brambles, broken slabs and a leaning fence. Cleared, fenced in slatted cedar, a porcelain patio, a new lawn and borders planted for coastal wind. The before is the first photo Cerys took. Four weeks.

Twelve square metres of north-facing yard behind a town house. Welsh limestone paving, a corten steel water feature for sound, ferns, hostas and hydrangeas for shade, lighting on a timer. Eight days.
Fencing and deckingBarry
A wind-battered garden overlooked on three sides. Slatted cedar screens for privacy without a wall, a composite deck with a built-in bench and planters, string lights. Two weeks.

A builder's garden left as rubble under an inch of topsoil. Rubble out, 100 mm of topsoil in, levelled, turfed, and a border of shrubs and perennials along the fence. Four days.
PlantingPenarth
Tired borders in a Victorian garden, planted thirty years ago and never changed. Structure kept, everything else lifted, divided or replaced, the beds gritted and mulched, 240 new plants. One week.
