Whilst the Red Lion Hotel underwent a major restoration, Hortlands started work along side the designer, James Ogilvy Landscapes, to help restore and transform the hotel’s exterior.
The first phase of the garden management projects was to prune and re-secure the mammoth wisteria which covers the hotel. After years of neglect, the team began a three day restoration, installing new wires and supports along the way. The objective was to create a new neat structure which only reached the second story windows.
Working closely with the designer, works began on preparing the front borders for the new planting scheme. All existing planting and debris were removed before the installation of the approved planting plan. A scheme of green, purple and white plants filled the newly prepared borders ready for the re-opening of the new Relais Hotel.
Once completed, Hortlands were awarded the contract to maintain and look after the newly refurbished beds and wisteria. During the fortnightly visits we are now able to keep the wisteria under control and tend to the various different varieties of shrubs and perennials.
Hortlands have maintained this client's garden on the borders of Northwest London and Hertfordshire since 2018. The team work off of a bespoke schedule all year round, consisting of one visit a week in the summer months, and one visit per fortnight throughout winter.
Here at Hortlands we have been building exceptional gardens across the Cotswolds for many years now, we are experts in horticulture and take our profession very seriously. So, who better to keep them looking their best and fully maintaining your garden than us?
