greencube garden and landscape design, UK

greencube is in for a very busy Autumn, planting up gardens in Offham, Sevenoaks, Ashford, Trottiscliffe, Seal and Hartfield. We are planting one garden each week as well as continuing with existing and new clients designs.  We are taking new enquiries for January/February 2017. planting You need to keep very fit to sustain the workload of a planting day, offloading lots of plants from the lorries, setting out and planting is a hard task but transforms the spaces immediately. Gemma and I can clock up over 20,000 steps on each day and walk the equivalent of 11/12 km in one day's planting. But we love it... Lots of our gardens designed this year are being completed this autumn. So we are super excited to see them finally completed. new garden cantilevered  we love a cantilevered step and here we have transformed this tiny garden into a modern, easy to maintain social space.

greencube are always striving for new and interesting planting combinations, differing materials that contrast with the homes that will last and look great years later.

Material selection is so important, combining the right materials that blend together or contrast in colour and texture, keeping within the context of the house and setting are key points to achieving a successful garden. We worked closely with the landscaper on this one to ensure all the finer details were delivered in this very small spa...
