Lower Sloane Street SW1

This is one of our maintenance contracts. It runs down half the length of Lower Sloane Street in London SW1 its about 180mtrs long but only about 12mtrs wide. Earthmoves took over the communal garden a couple of years ago with the widening and additional planting of the shrub border as it was very narrow and left little or no room for perennials.

This venture involved much physical grunt work as dozens of railway sleepers, tons of topsoil and hundreds of potted plants had to be brought in by hand down a steep set of stairs, along a narrow tunnel, and then up and around another set of twisting stairs. This project was then followed up by a pruning of the London Plane trees that overshadowed the entire length of the garden
