Landscape gardeners in Hemel Hempstead
New-town drives and older lanes. The Kemptons’ crumbling tarmac is the published driveway.
New-town drives in Hemel Hempstead were sound the year they were laid and are cracking now. Mr and Mrs Kempton’s was crumbling tarmac, renewed so the front of the house worked again.
Further out, lanes and the older ends of town have larger gardens where the brief is a patio and a proper lawn edge. Across Dacorum the request stays the same: a space that can be used without a monthly battle.
Dacorum Borough Council is the authority for protected trees. A crown reduction over a new-town garden, or felling where a tree has failed, starts with whether consent is required.
