Here you will find some examples of completed work. No garden is too big or too small to benefit from a little Belle Gardens magic.

Decking and Paving

We can undertake any decking or paving project. In addition you can have a look at a case study where we transformed a small garden with clever use of circular paving.

Pots and Containers

Pots and Containers can be used in so many different ways. If you would like Belle Gardens to design and/or plant up your garden pots or containers please do contact us.

Ask Belle Gardens to plan your beds and borders for you so you have colour and structural interest throughout the seasons.

Case Studies

Two gardens, before and after

Case study 1: Perennial Border

Our goal for this garden was to soften the patio area. We created a large border the full length of the house and designed this to create colour all year round.

Once the planting was complete we framed the border with box hedging.

Case study 2: Small Garden Transformation

With the addition of a summer house and circular paving this garden was made to look larger. Turf was removed and a circular set was laid.

The border to the right was raised to make maintenance easier for the client.

Gardens with wildlife in mind

Belle Gardens is committed to making a difference to the natural world.

Hedgehogs, sparrows, song thrushes and stag beetles are all declining species in the UK so we try and manage the gardens we create and maintain with this in mind.

We aim to increase the amount of wildflower gardens we sow each year to benefit insects and birds. We plant metres of rural hedging each year so that small mammals have wildlife corridors and birds have nesting sites.

Many of our clients ask for fruit trees and orchards to be planted which have a huge beneficial impact on wildlife. More and more people are asking for ponds for their children to enjoy pond dipping and to attract dragonflies and other creatures like frogs and toads. We attract creatures like these to our gardens to eat snails and slugs so we never use slug pellets which may harm hedgehogs and birds.
