If you're lucky enough to own a garden why not make it suit your needs and style. With so many different materials and plants on offer it's easy to make your garden a one off and an extension to your house.

Whether you like formal and neat or informal and maintenance free or modern and fashionable, a design is the first step to having a garden you can enjoy.

A special feature in your garden makes it unique and attractive. Water features including pools for fish or fountains, self-contained water features with pebbles, stones or slate or maybe a bog garden.

Timber constructions like a pergola add height in flat gardens as well as providing climbing plants a frame and shade.

Statues give maintenance free focal and interest points to any garden. Rockies are great for natural banks especially if combined with a waterfall or stream.
