Garden Landscaping for homes in Bilsthorpe
Landscaping is the job where all the individual trades meet: the levels, the retaining, the paved areas, the lawn or artificial grass, the borders and the routes between them. We take a garden as a whole rather than as a list of separate jobs, working out how the space should flow from the back door to the far end, where the levels need holding with walls or steps, where the seating and planting areas want to sit, and how the surfaces should change between them. Then we build it in the right order, so the heavy work and the muck away happen before the finished surfaces go down instead of over the top of them.
Working in Bilsthorpe
Bilsthorpe is a village between Ollerton and Southwell that expanded substantially as colliery housing, with the planned brick housing of that period forming much of the settlement alongside an older village core and newer development added since the pit closed. The planned housing brings the advantage that runs through most of the coalfield villages here — regular, generous plots with real scope front and back. Frontages that were laid out with front gardens rather than parking in mind convert well into proper driveways, and the long rear gardens have the length to be divided into usable zones. Sitting on the edge of the Sherwood sandstone, the ground is generally free-draining, though it still needs excavating and compacting properly to carry vehicles.
