Landscape gardeners in Welwyn Garden City
A town planned around its gardens. Most briefs are a simpler layout and trees kept in scale.
Welwyn Garden City is in the name of the practice because the town is a regular part of the work, not a special trip. Many plots still have the original idea — lawn, hedge, a tree — and have become more hours than the household wants.
A useful redesign keeps that character and cuts the work: a cleaner edge, a patio where the chairs already go, and planting that does not need every weekend. Pergolas, pleached trees and lighting turn up when the garden is being used as another room.
Welwyn Hatfield is the planning authority. A protected garden tree or street tree means consent before felling.
