Sleepers & planters / Hertfordshire
Structure.
With softness.
Planting that gets lost, or a garden that needs clearer edges?
MLG can help you explore sleepers and planters as part of the layout, giving planting its place and bringing more definition to the spaces around it.
Your postcode. A few photos. A place to begin.
Sound familiar?
Shape the space.
Make room to grow.
You may want one corner to feel finished without taking on the whole garden. Start with the change that matters to you.
How MLG can help
Work through the position and proportion.
Look at the scale of the planting space and how it sits alongside routes, seating and views from the house.
- Decide where definition would help
- Discuss the height and proportions
- Consider the surrounding routes and surfaces
How MLG can help
Focus on a worthwhile individual change.
A planter or revised edge can be discussed as a standalone job. Start with the part you want to improve and how it relates to what is already there.
- Identify the specific area
- Keep the features that already work
- Agree the structure and finishing scope
How MLG can help
Make the complete scope explicit.
Discuss the preparation, construction, soil and planting together so you understand what the quotation does and does not include.
- Agree the construction and materials
- Clarify soil and preparation
- Confirm the planting and care requirements
Clearer structure in the garden
Planting with its own place
The whole detail included in the discussion
Give the planting its place.
Think about the height, position and scale of a planting area alongside the routes and spaces around it. Small changes can alter how the whole garden reads.
Materials & upkeep
Discuss the look, suitability and maintenance needs of the proposed construction.
Planting & access
Make space for the planting itself and the practical work of looking after it.

Before you begin
Your
questions.
Will planting be included?
Planting, soil and preparation should be discussed and itemised in the agreed scope. They should not be assumed to be part of every planter enquiry.
Can this be a smaller project?
Yes. Individual garden improvements are welcome. Send your postcode, photographs and an outline of the change.
