Planting:

Plants bring so much to any space and they excite us in the many ways that they can be combined and left to just do their own thing in your garden.

More recently we have been using an ecologically balanced approach to our planting, creating a scheme that looks after itself (to a greater degree) and has a more natural feel. Tierra designs are a company with a horticultural background, our knowledge of plants and their ecosystems is extensive, and seeing our planting schemes develop brings us the most joy.

Lighting:

These days lighting is an integral part of any garden. We always look at lighting during the initial design as it can be used to change the feel of your garden.

Lighting will not only change the view and proportions of your garden at night but opens it up for extended usage, highlighting your favourite plants, features or art work. We use a selection of high quality fittings and trusted components. All mains connections are carried out by our appropriately qualified contractor (in accordance with the new Eu rules).

Water:

The use of water in the garden has always been a prized feature, be it a series of lakes, bog garden or a simple rill. More recently there has been a strong desire to have a 'water feature' which we feel has led to the building of some not so desirable projects! Water in the right place will be a joy, adding much to a space, your courtyard or your meadow.

Irrigation:

Irrigation provides the best start to a plants life, and at the same time makes best use of the water supply. Simple control systems allow for changes in demand during the seasons, these systems can detect rainfall and change accordingly. The systems will water automatically at set times whether you are home or away.

For the larger garden a water system reduces the need for long runs of hose pipe and the inconvenience caused. In a smaller garden, with raised beds and pots, the water demands can be very regular making irrigation essential. Irrigation is the most cost effective way to help a garden, young or old.
