Landscape Design and build pictures

Here's a few pictures of gardens I've designed and built since 2007 when not looking at trees and scratching my head. These are all new builds, from scratch (usually a big pile of rubble and builder's crap).
Hope you like 'em.

Having seen the state of those sites before Scot started, I can attest to the immense amount of work that went into them. The one with the blue slate wall overlooks the bay at Porthmadog, and the third pic is about 1/2 a mile away from Buzz's new place at Penmon Point.

Re: Landscape Design and build pictures

Hey, cheers chaps! Yeah, lots of work getting them from piles of rubble to something you'd want to hang out in. Haven't done a major project this year, but hopeful something interesting will come along.

The scheme with the timber planters is a leisure site down the Llyn Peninsula near Nefyn. The one with the mature olive tree planted into the round bed is, as Ed says, on Anglesey. The one with the curving slate walls (which are over a metre thick underneath all that slate), is overlooking the bay towards Portmeirion. Only took a year and £140k. Almost finished me off that one...

Thanks again, guys. Glad you're feelin' the gardens.
