garden landscaped or similar.

We are getting to the point where we cannot keep on top of our garden maintenance due to age and mobility. All our beds had waterproof membrane and small pebbles put over then to depress weeds but as the years have progressed we have found weeds are growing and increasing.Weed killer (various makes) appear not to work. We do not have grass in the garden but several areas of paving stones. We have big make over yearly (3/4 people who spend a day doing both front and back gardens - cutting back shrubs etc) Other wise we have the occasional person weeding the paved areas.


Ideally we would like all the pebbled areas paved/concreted over, paths resurfaced and made even/safe. We wish to increase our use of plant containers in the back garden and would love a raised area for veg/fruit growing.


Not sure what the best time of year is to do a garden make over, but we are waiting until the autumn to a have a couple of trees pollarded. We also need a shed replaced with a smaller version (We saw one in B & Q and were told to order on line - went to do this and found they would not deliver to SE22)


Can anyone recommend a gardener/landscaper?

    • A quick update - my InPost parcels are being accepted sporadically at Barry's, but only one at a time and every few days, after many refusals - one was refused SEVEN times over about ten days - and several phone calls. As a comparison, I had a message from Yodel that a parcel that was going to Barry's is being delivered to another nearby store, which is interesting...
    • The "Community Benefits" are documented on P12-16 of the Consultation Document. Basically unsubstantiated estimates that it benefits local businesses, claims that it provides "opportunities" for local food traders, businesses & people (the term "opportunities" being meaningless - I have opportunities to win the lottery) without any details, facts or figures, and discounted tickets for local residents (which unsurprisingly seldom sell out). The only direct financial benefit to the Park is a £1000 "Biodiversity Fund" and an undisclosed amount for an "Environmental Impact Fee" - looking at how it was spent this year (flower beds in the playground & Sexby garden) I suspect it would be a similarly small figure. The actual site hire fee - claimed as "commercially sensitive" and therefore undisclosed - is spent on: • Funding the council’s free events programme and Cultural Celebrations Fund • Subsidised fees for community events in the borough • Off-setting the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of the free community events programme  Again, no details given, just vague concepts - can anyone name any of these free & subsidised community events? Or what the "Cultural Celebrations Fund" is or does? It doesn't really sound like any of it is worth  the disturbance, restrictions, noise, litter, environmental damage and negative impact on wildlife in our Park.  
    • The organisers must have spent a fortune on the display..imagine how p**s*d off they must have been!!!! Blink and you missed it kind of thing
    • We also recommend Aaron.  Very reliable, reasonably priced and did a fantastic job on our hallway and bedroom ceiling.  A pleasure to work with and left the house very tidy at the end of the job.  Thank you
