St Albans
John Mason’s garden
Sandstone, new fences, block edging, a rear deck and fresh turf in St Albans, now on a monthly visit.
The St Albans plot had a small patio and a lawn that was half dead.
That lawn came up and the ground was dug out for sandstone paving. New fence panels went in with the patio. Block paving forms the edge between the new surface and the grass, and a deck was added at the back for summer. Handrails can be built where a deck needs them.
Lawn and planting followed. The soil already there was poor, so seeding topsoil was brought in before the turf and the new plants.
The garden has stayed on a monthly maintenance visit since the build.
Service: Low maintenance garden design. Town: St Albans.
