Garden Landscaping for homes in Ollerton
Landscaping is the job where all the individual trades meet: the levels, the retaining, the paved areas, the lawn or artificial grass, the borders and the routes between them. We take a garden as a whole rather than as a list of separate jobs, working out how the space should flow from the back door to the far end, where the levels need holding with walls or steps, where the seating and planting areas want to sit, and how the surfaces should change between them. Then we build it in the right order, so the heavy work and the muck away happen before the finished surfaces go down instead of over the top of them.
Working in Ollerton
Ollerton is two distinct places sharing a name. Old Ollerton is a small historic village on the River Maun with period cottages, mature trees and traditional boundaries, where natural stone paving and sympathetic walling sit far better than anything sharply modern. New Ollerton, built for the colliery, is planned housing on a much larger scale — regular streets of brick semis and terraces with the generous front and rear gardens typical of purpose-built pit housing. The two need genuinely different design approaches. The town sits on the edge of Sherwood Forest on sandy, free-draining ground, which is generally favourable for building driveway and patio bases, though it still needs compacting properly rather than being treated as a sub-base in its own right.
