Bricks, Mortar and Boundaries

A Planning Application has flown through first time for this major garden wall design, which is great news for all involved at Greenspace Garden Design and also for our client too!

If you are thinking of a major change to a boundary in your garden then STOP just for a minute and run a finger down this simple checklist of questions and ask yourself....  

  • Are there any planning restrictions on the site? If not sure check your deeds or enquire with your local Planning Dept.
  • Are there any other structures, buildings or trees close by? Think about how a new structure will affect these and vice versa.
  • Is the boundary shared with a neighbour? If so talk to them first.
  • How will the new boundary look in relation to the whole garden? If you are not sure about this point ask a garden designer to help. 
Garden fences, walls and hedges can be problematic and often what tends to happen is that a troublesome or unattractive boundary just gets replaced with another different problem. A garden designer will not only give you a number of attractive options according to your budget, but can also help you with Planning Officers.
To save time and save money - it pays to get it right first time.
