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.

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
