DESIGN

We believe in a thorough design process that is led by our professional, dedicated and creative design team. We begin the design process by interviewing you, which helps us to understand your lifestyle and the project requirements.

We measure and analyze your site by studying the topography, drainage patterns and building architecture. You will be presented with preliminary design ideas which show garden layout concepts and options for your property.

Lastly, we prepare the final master plan including all detail, using sketches and perspectives when necessary. We have experienced craftsmen who can turn our blueprints into reality.

The English Gardener is the NATURAL choice for all your landscaping/gardening needs. Whether you need your new home or office building enhanced or your existing landscape requires a new look we can do the job.

A truly artistic garden should blend in with and enhance a home's design. We pay close attention to your home's surroundings as we survey the site during the design process. This not only creates an aesthetically pleasing garden but increases your home's curb-appeal.

Our designs composite various ideas from you and the designer which become a reflection of your interests and personality. Once the design is complete our staff or you carefully select high quality materials for the project and installs them according to industry standards. From installing a residential or commercial garden which can be low maintenance to creating a landmark, we strive to achieve your goals.

     
 

WALLS
Structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing retaining walls can complement any out-door setting. Multiple terraces or varying grades can enhance the charm and design of a yard that is otherwise difficult to maintain. By keeping abreast of ever changing installation techniques and new products available, we ensure you a quality job. Whether your project requires a structural wall or a landscape border our professionals can assist you in choosing the proper material and design for your wall.

WATER FEATURES
Environmentally friendly and completely customized water features can be installed anywhere in the landscape setting. Relaxing and enjoying the tranquility of a water garden tends to transcend today's stressful world. Proper biological filtration and design techniques make water features relatively maintenance free. We can assist you with any questions you may have in order for you to be in a position to make an educated decision concerning a water feature that will delight you for years.

PATIOS
The center of any outdoor living space is the seating area. This is an area for friends and family to gather and enjoy each others company while surrounded by beautiful gardens. With our diverse experience in patio installation, we pride ourselves in knowing you will enjoy the space for years to come. With our innovative designs and quality workmanship, plus the range of products available, we are certain that our professional staff can help you to choose a patio style that complements your home and surrounding area.

FLOWER BEDS
Whether you choose to have raised beds, soft flowing beds or structured beds our experience with perennials and shrubs offers a lasting, vibrant addition to any garden. Our perennials are grown for the local environment and weather conditions. The varieties we use generate excitement, as do some of the unique selections available. The right balance of shrubs and flowers delivers a varied composition with interest in color, shape, texture and form.

PATHS
People are often unaware of the variety of path styles available. We are one of the area leading installers of traditional flagstone. The use of manufactured style pavers, flagstone (irregular or square cut), crushed stone or cinder paths follows from the effect you're striving to create. Our use of paths is unique in that ours are often more aesthetic and less utilitarian than traditionally used in this area.

WOODWORK
Fences, decks, shade pergolas and other woodwork are all individually designed for your garden and are therefore a one of a kind feature. We construct our woodwork to blend rather than be a visual obstruction, which allows the garden to be dominant rather than the fixtures.

SOIL AMENDMENTS
Amending the soil is best accomplished before any planting occurs. We suggest using a blended loam suited to the particular plants being installed. It is worth mentioning again that the best time to promote the longevity and health of the garden by amending the soil or installing new soil blends is before planting.

GARDEN RESTORATION
The English Gardener restores and edits all types of gardens. Neglected gardens often offer many surprises. Our skilled gardeners often incorporate plants and other elements on site, such as old fences, stone, whatever is discovered.  Garden restorations often involve the following work:
