Testimonials

We have known Andrew for 10 years, having purchased a strip of land from our neighbour farmer;
we needed help to alter it from wasteland to garden. Andrew & his team knocked down the wall
between whilst preserving the good stone. He then rotivated an area 100 sq meters in order that
that we could plant trees and a vegetable patch. He was courteous, efficient, reliable & left the site
tidy.

We can thoroughly recommend the team at Vowles landscaping. They have recently carried out a
number of projects for us which have included filling in a 28 x 14 swimming pool at our house in
Cowbridge, installing a very large patio & garden landscaping with top soil replenishment. All of
these jobs have been carried out professionally, promptly & efficiently. We have been very satisfied
with all the work done.

Mr Vowles has tended our garden for almost 10 years and we cannot speak too highly of his
services. We have found him reliable, efficient and he always clears up perfectly.

Andrew has worked for my husband and I since we have been at our current house. Works carried
out include cutting hedges and generally maintaining our garden. He has always worked very
diligently and has been clean, reliable and punctual. He and his employees have always done an
excellent job for us. He built a beautiful circular flower bed for us which certainly increases the
appearance at the front of our house and is there for all to see.

The Vowles family have been maintaining my garden for the past 16 years and have always been
honest, hardworking and reliable & most pleasant in disposition. They undertake exactly what needs
to be done and they keep my garden neat & colourful. During the 16 years they have mowed lanws,
felled trees, and (large ones) and cut all my hedges. I have no hesitation in recommending them to
everyone.

Patios serve as extensions of the living rooms inside the house. They serve as mirrors and reflect how the inside of the house. It is important that the patio be decorated and presentable to those that who see it. Landscaping the patio is one way to make it attractive in the eyes of those who look at it.

Here are some tips on how to landscape the patio the easy way:

1.    An outdoor chime may be placed to add a light mood in the patio. Wind chimes and musical chimes are perfect for outdoor use. Hearing pleasing sounds in the patio can add drama to the landscape.

2.    Patio heaters may be used to provide warmth in colder weather. This will allow more time to spend in the patio rather than staying inside the house in cooler weather.

3.    Benches that are intended for outdoor use may also be placed on the patio. The benches will serve as decorations and they can be used to entertain visitors. Guests will have a place where to sit and enjoy the view of the patio.

4.    Hammocks can also be used to decorate the patio. Hammocks provide a relaxed atmosphere and they serve as additional design to the landscape garden. There are portable hammocks that are sold on the market. They are easy to assemble even without the use of tools. If the budget is limited, hammocks may also be improvised.

5.    Planters should never be missed in landscaping the patio. Patios always come with planters. They can be used to plant flowers and add beauty to the landscaped area.

6.    Hanging flower pots may also add drama to the patio. There are hanging flowerpots that are made of plastic or mosses that are placed in a frame made of steel wires. The choice will depend on the taste of the person decorating the patio. There is also a wide variety of hanging flower plants to choose from. They are of various colors and sizes that will satisfy the different tastes of gardeners.

7.    Decorator outdoor lights are also used to landscape a patio. They add a lively effect especially at night. Lights will allow the people living in the home to enjoy the patio during the evening.

Landscaping a patio is not that hard ass long as there is creativity. Even cheap accessories will add grandeur to the patio. A patio that is lovely and welcoming will reflect how the persons inside are living

Nothing beats coming home to a house that welcomes you and makes you feel right at home. Whether it’s in the front or back yard, a garden has a lot to do with that feeling. That said, you just might consider taking the time to landscape your garden.

Don’t be intimidated by the term “landscaping”. It is simply done by adding and/or arranging things in your garden to make it both functional and pleasing to look at.

To help maintain the neatness and the look you’ve achieved with your landscaping efforts, these handy tools will become essentials in your garden.

Lawn mowers
If you have a sprawling garden, with a lot of space for lawn, you might consider investing in a power mower to save you the effort of using a push mower or clipping it manually with shears. Smaller lawns may merit the same equipment, especially if you have health problems.

Hoses and sprinklers
You’ll need to water the plants so find a hose that can reach the edge of your garden. Determine diameter of hose that can give sufficient pressure – too small and the hose May burst or too big and you may not get enough pressure.

Sprinklers are especially useful for big lawns since they save you the effort and time of watering by hand. There are sprinklers that require you to turn the faucet on and others that turn on automatically at a preset time.

Spades and trowels
Spades are smaller versions of shovels and are useful in digging up small amounts of dirt. Trowels are even smaller versions that can be used with the hand.

Both are used to dig up soil which you need to do occasionally to take out the weeds and to aerate the soil around the plants. Your plants will be much healthier if done on a regular basis.

Shears and pruners
Shears are a lot like big scissors that you use to trim hedges, vines and shrubs to keep them looking neat. Pruners are similar, although smaller, and are used for more delicate cutting within flower beds and for trimming  roses and small shrubs.

Rakes and leaf blowers
Both of these tools tidy up a garden after pruning or during fall when the trees lose their leaves. Take care when using leaf blowers because when used thoughtlessly, you may end up being resented by your next door neighbors.

These tools help you maintain your garden and keep it neat all throughout the year. When used regularly, your garden will be neat and not look like a jungle.
