Landscape gardeners in Elstree
The yard is on Elstree Hill South. Gardens here are the local round, not a long trip.
The business is based at Edgware Bury House Farm on Elstree Hill South, WD6 3DE. Elstree gardens are the ones Jake can visit without turning it into a day out: the hill, the older houses towards the studios, and the roads that run into Borehamwood.
Plots here sit on London clay. It holds water in a wet winter and goes hard in July, so a new lawn needs a proper base and a patio needs falls that actually leave the paving. Low maintenance designs suit the clay, because gravel, paving and a modest lawn are kinder than a border you have to dig whenever the soil is wrong.
Tree work is common on these roads. Mature birches, conifer screens and garden oaks often need a reduction or a stump taken out before a patio can be laid. Hertsmere is the planning authority if you are checking a tree preservation order.
