Planted some roses in some of the worst dig ever yesterday
will be dressing the area in white pebbles and cobbles to bind the dust, i mean soil lol. Mini rockery at the far end.
have the same to do Thursday next to an even bigger leylandii hedge out the front ??? Had to get four commercial shelf-stacking trolleys from out the back off my suppliers yard to get the plants to the truck!! All we wanted was some irish fella hanging on a swing over the Iveco and the Chelsea Flower Show had arrived on the client's drive (no offence to our irish contingent, you know what I was getting at anyway I hope!!)
Planted up some herbs in baskets, the housekeeper was delighted, that's the only time you'll EVER see a plant label on one of my jobs, pet hate! Softens up the look of the fountain (that we installed as our first ever job there).
Client happy so far
Getting addicted to posting these pics aren't I ?? Feel free to call a halt when you're bored lads!

Cheers all.London Stone Paving wrote:Nice water feature Jonny. Whats the material? Donegall Quartz?
Steve, do you know, I'm not 100% sure. The walling is Stonemarket I think if memory serves me right, faced around a concrete block and bespoke fibreglassed liner. Client had already ordered the drilled stone.
It's a salutary story actually, one we should all remember. Get a call, you were recommended by blah blah blah supplier of stone, you subcontract to them etc etc. Need a small (!) water feature installed. We were booked ahead for two minths, client kept houding me to get there. Last-but-one call client says "look I appreciate you are busy, I don't need it installed for a little while but I need to know how to connect it up to the tap i am having put in for it....." ???
Naturally I thought it was a ****-take at this point, a water feature run off mains water?????? Recommending supplier rang me later that week and begged me to go out as client on his back too.
Went out, met client, you've seen the house in previous pics, within half an hour had the contract maintenance of the grounds tied up and the rest is history.
