Before / after

Rich AllanGardens - before after pond

From grassy and weed-filled gravel beds, to flourishing borders.

Side-by-side comparison of a garden bed with plants. The left side shows overgrown greenery with weeds and a small blue sign, while the right side shows a tidy bed with blooming purple heather, red leafy plants, and other small shrubs, all bordered with rocks and mulch.

“Last Autumn Rich agreed to help restore our borders. He considered what we already had in place and tended to each plant and shrub, carefully pruning and feeding them. He then discussed the plans for each border and created clever ideas for plants that offered interest, structure, texture and colour. We loved the natural and organic theme of a garden.”
