Having read some of the many articles on the effects of the credit crunch on small businesses, I wonder how it will affect my small business and how other garden designers and landscapers around Glasgow, and indeed around the UK, will cope with the coming year.

The large lawn areas should accomodate the expected family’s adventurous feet while also ensuring a soft green centre to the garden area. Within the deck shall be an almost semi-circular bench with timber seating that will easily host many a deriere of an evening! The banked planting, together with some plants in pots and troughs, will soften all the edges and ensure a serene environment for Naila and Nasim to relax in.

“A Garden?! What For?” – I’ll Give You What For!
As a designer I am frequently invited to people’s homes to discuss their requirements in the garden. Many, who have contacted me with landscaping projects in mind, simply want A patio, or A deck or A driveway and it must be THIS shape and must go HERE, THERE and THERE: but if we look at the garden in it’s entirety as part of our property; then it becomes another room – albeit an outdoor room. I wonder; would people upgrade their old and worn out bathroom by simply replacing the bath alone? It might be a whopping great shiny bath but would it not outshine the rest of the bathroom fittings and therefore actually make the room far LESS attractive – surely the opposite from the desired effect?
