An overgrown, neglected corner transformed into a water feature, near Whitland

After

This bed sits right by the front door of the customer's home, so it's the first thing they see every time they step outside. It had been left to go completely wild. Waist-high grass, weeds and brambles pushing through the paving edge, years of neglect right where everyone walks past.

We cleared every bit of the overgrowth, raked the ground through and dug the roots out so it wouldn't just grow straight back. We had an acer tree spare from elsewhere in the garden, so we moved it over and planted it in the corner for a bit of height and interest alongside the water feature (which the customer handled themselves).

Once the tree was in and watered, we laid Terram membrane over the whole bed to keep weeds suppressed for good, then finished it off with a layer of slate on top, working carefully around the customer's own water feature as we went. What was overgrown is now a clean, low-maintenance spot with real visual interest.

Location
Whitland

What we did

  • Cleared all weeds, brambles and overgrown grass from the bed, digging out roots to stop regrowth
  • Raked the cleared ground through to level it ready for planting and landscaping
  • Moved an established acer tree from elsewhere in the garden and planted it in the corner for height and interest
  • Staked and watered in the newly moved tree to help it establish
  • Laid Terram weed-suppressant membrane over the full bed
  • Worked the membrane carefully around the customer's own water feature installation
  • Topped the membrane with a layer of slate chippings for a clean, low-maintenance finish

The corner before we started. Waist-high grass and weeds had taken over completely, right by the front door.

The finished corner. Slate on top of the membrane, the acer settling in, and the water feature ready to go. Clean, low-maintenance and welcoming right from the front door.
