Landscape gardeners in Harpenden
Larger, leafier plots. The first call is often about a tree rather than a patio.
Harpenden plots tend to be larger, with trees and hedges planted when the house was built. A crown lift over the drive, deadwood, or a stump where a bed is about to be paved is often the first visit. The layout that follows should not assume a free weekend every week.
Families here still want lawn. The useful design edges that grass, keeps beds to a width that can be reached, and puts gravel or paving where people already walk.
Planning sits with St Albans district. Protected trees are common on these roads, so a surgery visit starts by asking whether consent is needed.
