We have been super-busy this past week; hence the lack of blogging activity!! We are gearing up for a busy year and have some exciting projects ahead, including work at the Ideal Home Show at Earl’s Court in London next month!! We have also been invited to submit a regular weekly column along the lines of garden-improvements-and-your-property to our new local newspaper Eastwood Today, so watch this space!!
This will be a quick post and I shall be blogging some more on tips and articles later this week. In the meantime I wanted to draw your attention to the importance of garden improvements for your properties and more specifically the important role that design holds in this process. I shall direct you to the following 3 articles and hope you can get some benefit from these:
The Sunday Times: Improve to move
Landscape Juice: Landscaping Through the Recession
Telegraph: recession is ‘no better time’ to build a home
Will be back soon!
