Not strictly a family room discussion but I thought this would reach the right people!


Got any recommendations for front Garden design/builders we possibly want a victorian path put in, it's a standard small front garden just enough room for a hedge or something to be planted and three southwark bins! Three bed victorian terrace house. Ideally I need someone to dig it all up and Lay a new path make it look amazing, I'm quite a perfectionist! need someone reasonably priced with an eye for detail.


Also can anyone recommend where to get the victorian path tiles? Is it better to get them supplied and fitted by the same company? but I I'm thinking it would be more cost effective to get the same people to do the whole thing.


Feeling overwhelmed by it all!


Thanks

Not sure if you need the full services of a garden designer if it is just replacing the path, but we have been working with Barbara Samitier on the major re-design of a back garden. The design she has come up with is amazing! She lives locally. Her website is here: http://www.barbarasamitiergardens.co.uk/Sustainable-and-contemporary-gardens-in-Dulwich.aspx


She also works with a builder/landscaper who can carry out the work once you have the design.

Also we had our back garden done and are very happy with the design work that was done (but we got our own contractors to implement it). If you'd like some photos or contact details of our designer who is based in West London then please let me know.

After much agonising, we've had our front garden done recently by London Landscaping Company. Billy is the boss. The work was first class and we are really pleased. PM me if you want to take a look. We looked long and hard at replacing our worn Victorian tiled path but it is very expensive to do. We went for a cheaper option and don't regret it.

    • I'm a bit worried by your sudden involvement on this Forum.  The former Prince Andrew is now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Mountbatten in an anglicisation of Von Battenburg adopted by that branch of our Royal Family in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment. Another anglicisation could be simply Battenburg as in the checker board cake.  So I surmise that your are Andrew Battenburg, aka Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and that you have infiltrated social media so that the country can put the emphasis on Mandelson ather than yourself.  Bit of a failure. I don't expect an answer from police custody.  
    • We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.
    • Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely. 
    • My view is that any party that welcomes a self-declared Marxist would merit a negative point.
