Landscaping in Berkhamsted.

Berkhamsted climbs the sides of a Chilterns valley along the Grand Union Canal, so its gardens rarely sit flat — Victorian terraces stepping up the hill and newer estates alike ask for level changes to be handled properly.

Retaining and terracing are the backbone of our Berkhamsted work: usable flat zones cut into the slope, natural-stone terraces by the house, and planting that holds the banks together.

Local knowledge

The flinty chalk soil and steep valley-side plots make retaining structures the norm rather than the exception; near the High Street and castle, the conservation area favours brick and natural stone over pressed concrete.
