Most of the time it is hard to explain to potential new clients that if you have a very low budget labour costs can make hiring professional landscapers and garden builders a non starter. But when Mr & Mrs Horley from Great Missenden called us with a vision and plan of what they wanted we arranged a consultation. Their vision was to create a garden completely from waste including old wooden pallets and broken stone into a modern but quirky eco / wildlife garden. The only real materials bought was concrete for the path way and some native and ecological planting. The design was put together buy Sustainable & Ecological landscape company Ecospaces. http://www.eco-spaces.co.uk/ 
The original concept was to create a journey to the long narrow plot which meanders through various habitats and wildlife features. Even though the materials budget for the project was £1000 pounds the finished product is nothing less than remarkable! Wildlife and eco gardens are not always every ones ideal garden with a conception that they look untidy but designed and built correctly great landscaped gardens suitable for wildlife are achievable! Some images of the completed project can be found below!
Some of the new wildlife to the garden recorded have been: Hedgehogs, Frogs, Newts, Foxes, Dormice, Dragonflies, Great Stag Beatle, Woodpeckers, Squirrels, Blue Tits and Sparrows! If you have a garden project that needs building or help with a design whether a wildlife garden or new patio please do not hesitate to call Buckinghamshire Landscape Gardeners today.
