Landscaping

City & Country Group believes in investing heavily in quality landscaping which enhances and complements the careful restoration of historic buildings. The group believes in landscaping to achieve immediate effect so that homeowners can enjoy their gardens as soon as they move in.

Existing mature trees are carefully protected during the construction process, to allow them to become the focal points within the landscape. We always use good quality materials such as York stone and granite with appropriate architectural metal work to create interest. We carefully consider the positioning of manhole lids and services in the hard landscape and we use strategically placed trees or shrubbery to screen the necessary but utilitary aspects of the scene.

For authenticity where possible we follow the plans proposed by the building's original architects whether they were actually realised or not.
