Garden Landscaping in Maidenhead

Hortlands were engaged to revitalise a dream garden landscaping project in Cookham. The site presented significant challenges, including inadequate drainage, anaerobic soil conditions, and a number of struggling plants and trees.

Leveraging our expertise and established reputation, we instilled confidence in the client to proceed with the project. In collaboration with Ross Allen Designs, we crafted a stunning, multi-generational family garden that flourishes throughout the seasons.

This project was a testament to teamwork, and we take pride in our ongoing commitment to its care through our dedicated Grounds Maintenance team.

Hard & Soft Landscaping

We commenced the project by dismantling the previous garden design, which included the removal of decayed soil, lifeless plants, inadequate drainage, and inappropriate structures. Our garden landscaping team then implemented a comprehensive drainage system featuring three large soakaways, ensuring optimal water flow across planting beds, lawns, and paved areas.

Recognizing that strong foundations are essential for a beautiful and enduring garden, we crafted the new design using custom-welded corten steel edging to define lawns, borders, and pathways. To further enhance the garden’s health and sustainability, we incorporated over 300 cubic meters of free-draining subsoil and 200 cubic meters of nutrient-rich topsoil, creating an ideal environment for trees, hedges, lawns, and a diverse array of plants to flourish.

Hortlands Nursery Installation Teams

Hortlands Nursery supplied and installed a carefully curated selection of mature trees, hedges, shrubs, and plants, based on a design by Ross Allen. By using established greenery, the garden came to life instantly—offering beauty, structure, and enjoyment from day one.

Garden Irrigation

Hortlands designed and installed a fully automatic watering system to efficiently water beds, borders, planters, and lawns. With 26 tailored zones, the system adjusts daily water levels based on weather and soil conditions, ensuring every part of the garden gets exactly what it needs to thrive.

Ongoing Garden Maintenance

Following completion, our dedicated maintenance team took over to ensure the garden remains healthy, vibrant, and immaculate. From lawn care and seasonal treatments to expert pruning, mulching, and rose maintenance, we manage every detail, keeping the garden at its best all year round.
