Hertfordshire
Landscape gardeners in Elstree
Design, maintenance and tree work on the hill, towards the studios and Borehamwood.
The practice is at The Garden Centre, Birchall Lane, Hertford, SG14 2NR. Elstree visits still cover the hill, the older houses towards the studios, and the roads that continue into Borehamwood.
London clay is the ground under these plots. It sits wet through a Hertfordshire winter and bakes in a dry July. A lawn needs a prepared base, and paving needs falls that take water off the surface. Gravel, a patio and a modest lawn usually outlast a border that has to be dug whenever the clay is too wet or too hard.
Birches, conifer screens and garden oaks turn up on the same roads. Crown reductions, pruning and stump removal often come before a patio can be set out. Hertsmere is the council to ask if a tree might be protected.
