Garden Landscaping for homes in Ordsall
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 Ordsall
Ordsall sits on the southern side of Retford and combines an older village core around the church with extensive twentieth-century suburban development that has joined it to the town. The suburban housing is the bulk of it — inter-war and post-war semis and detached properties on regular plots, with frontages that were laid out as front gardens and rear gardens of a workable length. Those frontages convert well into proper driveways once the original narrow strip is lifted and a full-width base is built. The ground here is level, as it is across most of Retford, which means falls and drainage have to be set out deliberately: permeable resin surfacing and properly planned soakaways or channels do real work on flat sites like these.
