Whether you are looking to improve your garden or completely restructure your outdoor space, a professional landscape gardener will offer a variety of expertise that will ensure your project is completed to your requirements, time and budget.
From access and site issues to building structures and planting, a landscape gardener provides the solutions and results that are essential to a successful project outcome. Furthermore it is essential to ensure that your chosen company has the experience and accreditation to deliver what is required to budget and constructed to best practice. Unique Projects are proud to be fully accredited members of the Association of Professional Landscapers.
There are several reasons why you should use a landscape gardener for your garden or landscape project.
Many gardens present their own challenges, such as poor drainage, difficult access, uneven ground and/or existing layouts. A landscape gardener can identify and solve these issues prior to a project commencement, ensuring there are no ongoing concerns and can build with these considerations in mind. For Unique Projects, this is an area of speciality we thrive on and have built a reputation for taking on and delivering very challenging projects, which have resulted in exemplary schemes.
A prime example was a project in Salcombe, Devon, where even the trees had to be delivered and positioned via a crane due to the cliff edge location and access restrictions…view our case studies page here to find out.
Foundations in any project are the key to its longevity and quality. Having the experience and knowledge of soils, structures, drainage, a landscape gardener will ensure the correct preparation of the ground. This not only saves time and stress, it also offers peace of mind for your garden against future issues.
When you are looking at your garden the plants, shrubs and trees are the key components to soften the hard landscaping and structures and really bring your garden to life. A landscape gardener with horticultural expertise will be able to find you the best quality plants and ensure that the plants will thrive in your garden complimenting the design and layout.
Garden walls, patios, pergolas and even fencing all require the skills of masons and carpenters. Our team has expertise in all of these areas and more and have forged relationships with a trusted network of quality suppliers, such as Arbour Landscape Solutions, Millboard, CED Stone and Allgreen, making sure everything is built to last and is a legacy for future generations.
It may seem easier to design your dream garden yourself, however, a poorly thought-out design can lead to costly issues down the line. A skilled garden designer or Landscape Architect very often works hand-in-hand with a professional landscape firm to ensure every detail is considered. This collaboration informs the construction process, ensuring everything is built efficiently and beautifully. In the long run, this approach saves time, avoids unnecessary costs and results in a garden that works both functionally and aesthetically. There is however always a time for the traditional, be that a lime mortar or plaster, a granite block split traditionally with feathers and wedges or a roof hip with dressed lead detail as above. All of these are just some of the artisanal methods we use year in year out.
We always recommend working with a garden design professional and have had the pleasure of working with several leading UK designers & Landscape Architects. If you would like us to recommend an expert, please contact us here.
In recent years huge advances in methodology and best practice have been developed in the landscape industry whereas in construction much is still based on traditional methods.
A well trained landscaper also understands the soil and the need for correct treatment during and after the build process. Once the hardscape is complete the soil is prepared correctly so that your investment of new plants gets the best possible start. This is particularly important when the client is buying mature trees and shrubs.
There are a number of reasons to use a professional landscape gardener when considering your project. A reputable and professional landscape gardening firm has to have the expertise of engineers, horticulturists, stonemasons, plumbers, carpenters, plasterers, bricklayers and above all be problem-solvers. They are all these rolled into one. We are to construction what a Swiss Army Knife is to cutlery.
