The Story so far – Ann & Chris

Ann the “Gardening Girl’ is from Nebraska. Chris is a transplanted British landscape consultant.

 

Two Projects we Designed & Built

 

Together, we have many years of experience. We have both spent much of our working lives designing, building and managing beautiful landscapes.

Creating and managing these wonderful landscapes is lots of work. It is a fun, very rewarding occupation.

Our work has encompassed, small and large gardens, roof gardens, city parks, streets, shopping centers, schools, golf courses, museums, estates even the odd museum and royal palace.

Using many traditional materials. Such as natural stone, water, metals, bricks and timber.

Or incorporating more modern materials, such as glass, fiberglass, lighting, mirrors, and irrigation.

Working with nature is often a challenge. The weather frequently disrupts how a project progresses.

Materials sometimes act in unpredictable ways. Achieving a constant quality finish is the true art of the craftsmen.
