    Garden Design and Landscaping

    Posted 11 April

    Ian was excellent in communication and reliability with appointments. He was friendly , professional and knowledgeable. He made sure to tailor the job very much to my requirements but with the addition of his expertise and ideas when asked. His quote was helpful and he was always happy to respond with further ideas and clarification and advice. He gave a clear quotation and also really helpful links to the choice of materials. On site Ian and Cameron were skillful and great discussing issues as they arose, and keeping a clean safe site, taking good care of my property

    Overhaul of garden borders and wreck of a lawn.

    Posted 11 April

    Ian and Cam deliver excellent quality in terms of project management, materials, work ethic and end results which importantly last. I first used them to design and build my back and front gardens 12yrs and 7 yrs ago. They look as good today as they did when first done. They are my 'go to' team, polite, professional and always reliable.

    Ian and Cam are very professional in there work and approach to all aspects of landscape gardening. They re- laid our existing patio and came in on budget and on time and I would have no hesitation in not only using them again but in recommending them. They are both very approachable and knowledgeable in their field and do a superb job.

IJ Street Garden Design and Construction has been trading since 1996. Prior to this, I studied at Sparsholt College for 3 years, gaining a National Certificate and National Diploma in Horticulture. As a result of this, not only am I qualified and experienced in garden design and construction, but I also have experience with plants and planting schemes.

I undertake all aspects on landscaping, including garden designs, from planting plans and hard landscaping plans to full garden designs and undertake constructional works, such as patios, paths, pergolas, ponds, lawns, walls, fencing and more - please see my website for work galleries... www.ijstreet.co.uk

I have always adopted a professional approach to the work I undertake, however, I feel that I go one step further, and consider, 'what would I expect if I was paying for the work?'. This approach often results in the work taking slightly longer, however, it also results in greater detail to the finishing touches. I am a registered and vetted by Hampshire County Council, on their 'Buy With Confidence' scheme.

Although most of my work is much the same as other landscapers, I have been known to take on the more adventurous or challenging contracts that other companies, although invited, have not even quoted for, which has opened up many more opportunities to me and I have gained valuable experience through them.

I have terraced a hill side, dismantled and filled in a swimming pool to create a garden, created a 'temporary' garden over a weekend, only to be removed 4 weeks later, and made ponds large enough to swim in.

As with many families, there can be circumstances that restrict what can be done in a garden, or considerations that need to be taken into account and my family is no different. As a result of this and the insights I have gained, I have been able to create gardens for many different people, from those with children to the elderly, people with varying disabilities, to those that want something modern to entertain in, gardens to grow fruit and vegetables in to formal gardens.

Whatever you want from a garden, IJ Street Garden Design and Construction has the ability to create it for you, from concept to completion.
