After planning permission had been granted to turn the agricultural land into a domestic garden, worked commenced. The specification of this garden was complex; it needed to complement the natural surroundings and be suitable for the family who live there and their four young children to play, entertain and explore. The build comprised a patio area of London Stone Kota Brown Limestone at 65m2, 3000m2 of turf and 900m2 of wildflower meadow grass supplied by Harrowden Turf. Complete with children's play tunnels and a vast variety of plants, this garden was a delight to build. It wasn't without it's challenges; the land was unusually wet for July and made the ground a marsh land! However, with our team of skilled and knowledgable landscapers, the project was finished to our exacting high standards and we are extremely proud of the finished space.

The artificial lawn by Namgrass complimented the paving and we installed thin paving cuts around the lawn to give it a finished and modern look. The boarders around the lawn were planted with a mixture of tropical and traditional plants.

With this climate change in mind, it's important to create a garden that can withstand the extreme heat and extreme wet weather that we Brits see year on year.   In this blog, we will look at climate change and gardening. We'll give our insight on how we can adapt and enhance our spaces to take on the great British weather.   Climate Change and Gardening: New Build Gardens Commonly, with new-build homes and gardens, drainage is overlooked, which can be a problem when it comes to climate change and gardening – especially in very wet periods. Most modern gardens tend to feature a lot of hard landscaping, as entertaining and relaxing has taken priority over more traditional garden uses. This can create problems as it minimises the space available for surface rainwater to drain or run off to.   If you're investing in a new build and want to get the most out of your garden in all weathers, make sure you check the soil conditions from the offset. How well it drains can be vital if you plan on having a lot of hard standing. Check where current water systems such as downpipes are running to, this may be your best drainage solution.

The client requested the garden be easy to maintain, whilst not too minimalistic but also most importantly tie in with the large existing wall surrounding the space. Jack designed the entire garden and the team built it within 3 weeks to an excellent standard. The garden required quite a bit of clearance initially, including removing an old glass greenhouse and allotments. Once the space was cleared the work commenced.  The largest area of patio comprised Citron Limestone paving and the feature bricks within the patio and the wall were Reclaimed Wire Cut bricks. Surrounding the patio were some raised and floor based flower beds and decorative wooden fencing. This created the perfect screen between the existing out house building and the new garden. The main focus point of the garden was the water feature, built using the reclaimed bricks. The finished product was superb and exactly as Jack and the client had envisaged. Also incorporated into Jack's design were two custom built oak furniture pieces by J. Drewe Landscaping; enabling the client to sit out on a warm day and enjoy their new outdoor room. We were all delighted with the end result of this pleasant build and the... --- ### New Build Garden Transformation - Oxford > New builds offer a blank canvas for us to add visual interest and character.

This garden for a new build three storey home was designed by Sarah Naybour and took approximately three weeks to complete. The initial stages of this project involved organising the different garden levels and preparing the base for the raised beds and the patio. The paving used is Black Granite from Hard Scape. Sometimes a dark paving can be overpowering in a smaller garden, but here it worked fantastically. Sarah and the client envisaged the garden to be an extension of their home, with the patio doors from the kitchen diner opening out onto an outdoor calm oasis. The garden also features white rendered raised beds containing tropical plants and palm trees. The beds were one of the harder elements of the garden to complete but they proved worth it once they were finished. The artificial grass used is Easigrass Mayfair. The space covered in grass cleverly allowed all of the plants to suit the space, including the more traditional trees used. The screening surrounding the garden is painted softwood. The subtle grey colour further adds to the modern and sophisticated feel of the space. Finally, we had a superb selection of lights installed which compliment the garden beautifully and allows the client to continue to enjoy the garden long into a summer's... --- ### New Build Garden Makeover - Thame, Oxfordshire > Add character to your new build garden with J Drewe Landscaping.

In November 2017 we were contacted by a client who had recently purchased a new build home in Thame, Oxfordshire. Their large garden was a blank canvas of turf and basic paving and they desperately wanted the space to reflect the interior of their stylish new property. New Build Garden Makeover – Designs and Plans Having sought a designer of their own, we were provided with the plans and drawings and asked for a quotation.   The design was created by the impressive and reputable Garden Designer Richard Key and we were excited to explore the drawings and learn more about the vision he had in mind for this space. The new garden would incorporate tropical planting supplied by Folia, a trendy and relaxing seating area, lawn edged with metal edgings, a variety of paving and an imaginative play area for the younger residents at this home. We were also asked to create a lighting plan for the garden too. Creating the New Garden – The Process Once underway, the initial stages of the garden involved striping the existing lawn and paving back to a muddy surface. The team then began to lay the patio and construct the rendered wall, which created the perfect back drop for the seating area. We used a Drone which proved extremely useful in taking some birds eye view shots... --- ### Agricultural Land to Domestic Garden > Part of our service offering includes transforming agricultural land to domestic garden - contact us today to discuss your project. - Published: 2018-11-06 - Modified: 2023-09-27 - URL: https://jdrewelandscaping.co.uk/agricultural-land-to-domestic-garden/ - Categories: All, Garden & Grounds Maintenance, Our Projects Agricultural Land to Domestic Garden Location – Steventon, South OxfordshireBudget – £60,000+Timescale – 12 weeks Working closely with garden designer Sarah Naybour, we had the privilege of completing our biggest project to date in Steventon in the summer of 2017. After planning permission had been granted to turn the agricultural land into a domestic garden, worked commenced. The specification of this garden was complex; it needed to complement the natural surroundings and be suitable for the family who live there and their four young children to play, entertain and explore. The build comprised a patio area of London Stone Kota Brown Limestone at 65m2, 3000m2 of turf and 900m2 of wildflower meadow grass supplied by Harrowden Turf. Complete with children’s play tunnels and a vast variety of plants, this garden was a delight to build. It wasn’t without it’s challenges; the land was unusually wet for July and made the ground a marsh land! However, with our team of skilled and knowledgable landscapers, the project was finished to our exacting high standards and we are extremely proud of the finished space.

They had not long moved into this home and were busy renovated the house interior and so it was important to them to have a team to take care of the garden, that they could trust and rely on. With the interior taking on a modern look, they wanted the garden to match. The client also requested a garden which could be enjoyed both in the summer and winter months and would be easy to maintain. We chose plants along the boarders which would not require a lot of care and built a decking which extends from their living room; providing the perfect outdoor space to enjoy. The decking fit nicely in an area between the kitchen and living room and filled a space of the garden which was other wise unusable. The artificial lawn by Namgrass complimented the paving and we installed thin paving cuts around the lawn to give it a finished and modern look. The boarders around the lawn were planted with a mixture of tropical and traditional plants. We also organised for lighting to be fitted, both in the flowers beds and along the screening installed onto the... --- ### Garden Lighting > Choosing the right garden lighting can transform your outdoor space - a lot of thought and organisation goes into the light placement. - Published: 2018-09-18 - Modified: 2023-09-27 - URL: https://jdrewelandscaping.co.uk/garden-lighting/ - Categories: Blog Garden Lighting The lighting you choose for your garden is a vital component for any finished space.

Drewe Landscaping Ltd. Logo - Published: 2018-06-20 - Modified: 2023-01-20 - URL: https://jdrewelandscaping.co.uk/our-new-j-drewe-landscaping-ltd-logo/ - Categories: Blog Our new J. Drewe Landscaping Ltd. Logo We have decided it is time for a little rebranding! Jack first decided on our logo nearly 6 years ago when he founded J. Drewe Landscaping. However, with the introduction of our new Marketing Manager, we thought we would let take her take reins and tweak our logo to be new and unique! We think she has done a wonderful job - the new logo looks sophisticated and bold. It suits our fleet wonderfully and we are currently in the process of updating all literature; including business cards and flyers, our website and uniforms. Keep an eye out for one of our vans passing you soon! --- ### Association of Professional Landscapers - Published: 2018-06-20 - Modified: 2023-01-20 - URL: https://jdrewelandscaping.co.uk/association-of-professional-landscapers/ - Categories: Blog Association of Professional Landscapers We are very proud to announce we are now an accredited member of the Association of Professional Landscapers (APL).

Time flies when you are having a good year! With Christmas fast approaching and just before we close ourselves down for the holidays, we thought it would be nice to reflect on what a year 2017 has been for J. Drewe Landscaping. The most momentous thing to happen to us was by far the transition from Sole Trader to Limited Company. J. Drewe Landscaping was founded by Jack some five years ago, when he had a handful of small maintenance jobs and one landscaping team. Since then it has moved from strength to strength. Now with over 12 employees comprising multiple landscaping teams, maintenance and office staff, 2018 is set to be even more exciting than last year. The move to Limited is vastly important to our business today and our clients. We now have the capacity to build complex, highly detailed gardens and maintain the largest of landscapes in locations throughout the South of England. In other exciting news! As we'd hoped, we have continued our grounds maintenance in London for a renowned housing developer in Mill Hill. The builder completed the work earlier this year and whilst we worked directly for them; once the site was finished and handed to the Management Company, the maintenance work would be out for tender. With our fantastic team of maintenance guys; their professionalism, knowledge and skills, we won the contract and look forward to caring... --- ### Oak Pool House > For this project, our Oxfordshire based client wanted an oak pool house. This was bespoke designed and installed by the J Drewe Landscaping team. - Published: 2017-11-06 - Modified: 2023-09-27 - URL: https://jdrewelandscaping.co.uk/oak-pool-house/ - Categories: All, Garden & Grounds Maintenance, Our Projects Oak Pool House Location – Aston Upthorpe, OxfordshireDate – November, 2017Timescale – 8 days After working for this client on a number of occasions in the past, they contacted us to see if we could help with a new pool house in their garden. We had previously refurbishing the landscape around this client’s swimming pool in August 2017 with a large amount of limestone paving and we now planned to construct an Oak Pool House as a centrepiece, in order to provide an area for entertaining. We were able to re-use some of the old materials, for example the roof tiles from the previous pool building. With the frame pre-made off site, the installation including the roofing took our team 8 days to complete. If you’re interested in viewing more of our completed projects, click here.

After 5 years we have finally decided to let go of the rains a little and allow someone else to design us a brand new website! Jack created our original site himself back when the company first began. Although the site worked well and was very user friendly, we wanted something far more unique, exciting and yummy for our customers to enjoy. We have known for some time that it would be far more professional to have a streamline site built for us. Working alongside the team at Bubble Creative Solutions we have put together the perfect site. The new webpage complements our work beautifully and shows our projects in their finest light. We have come such a long way since the first draft which we felt resembled our original site far too much. Whilst we loved our old site, we decided to go for a total overhaul and complete change for the new one, to really make it worthwhile. The original website was very white and plain although with plenty of images, but this time we wanted the images to be the main focus. We wanted something minimalistic and contemporary – just like Jack’s favourite type of garden. After meeting with BC to discuss the changes we needed, the second draft was a hit! There were a few tweaks to iron out such as the justification of the text in our logo, but we were ecstatic about the new template. We are... --- ### Pergola Seating Area > Pergola Seating is the ideal upgrade for any outdoor dining or entertaining area. If you're looking to maximise your space, contact J Drewe today. - Published: 2017-09-06 - Modified: 2023-09-27 - URL: https://jdrewelandscaping.co.uk/pergola-seating-area/ - Categories: All, Garden & Grounds Maintenance, Our Projects Pergola Seating Area Location – Abingdon, OxfordshireDate – September, 2017Budget – £15,000 This garden was previously a tired outdoor space, in need of a refurbishment. Our client specified they wanted a large area for outdoor entertaining, with some shelter in the garden too. Along with a beautiful Bradstone paving patio, granite setts were used around the lawn and patio edges, which gave a nice contrast to the smooth porcelain paving. Our team also constructed a Pergola seating area in one corner of the space and a large new lawn, which compliments this new entertaining space perfectly. Finally, new screening was installed against the existing fencing, to provide a modern, contemporary feel. If you’re interested in viewing more of our completed projects, click here.
