We arrived at the client’s property intending to carry out some tree surgery, a few crown reductions and fell a couple of old leylandii. We gave him an estimate and then returned to carry out the work once the costs were agreed. The client was so happy with the work that he asked us if we offered any other services and we then had a conversation about all the other projects that the client had in mind. It soon became apparent that there were a lot more works that the client would like us to carry out so we quickly reorganized the diary so that on completion of the tree works we would start the landscaping project that required urgent attention to meet another firm’s construction deadline. Luckily our other clients were not put out by the sudden amount of additional work that was commissioned.
One of our landscapers surveys the task ahead. The job seemed straight forward enough until we considered the amount of water being held back by the mound. A solution was easily reached by using a large diameter pipe and syphoning off some of the water to equal out the pressure on the lining of the pond.
Now we were happy that there would be no nasty accidents we began demolishing the old fountain base.
Just underneath the decorative stone there were tons of old rubble and general rubbish that would need to be removed off site. This was no mean feat as the work was at the bottom of a slope at the end of the garden.
We ended up barrowing all the debris out of the garden without a hitch but there were a few sore backs by the end of the job.
