Investing in an automated irrigation system, ensures the best results for your new planting and lawn areas.

Its focussed approach makes far more economical use of water – delivering it exactly when and where it is needed. We are also able to advise on rainwater harvesting and the recycling of ‘grey’ water (from baths and showers) to augment the use of your mains supply.

Turf laying for smaller gardens is the perfect ‘instant’ and weed free solution for that new lawn. For larger estates, the use of ‘big roll’ turf speeds up the process and transforms large areas within a day or two.

Grass seed is a lower cost solution, and very effective at the right time of year. Managing germination and weed competition presents a challenge, so it’s a good idea to ask for our advice on the pros and cons.

The key to subsequent management and maintenance is not only about expertise, but also having the right tools for the job. If you need help – whether with large or smaller areas, just ask.

The sound and look of water is always attractive and can really enhance or create a ‘magical corner’ in your garden.

Modern Garden Design

 

Whether you are starting from scratch, or simply want to improve what you have, working to a detailed design will sometimes be essential.

Our design service is a partnership, with a great deal of careful listening on our part regarding your special requirements and tastes, the look and feel, preferred colours, etc., and then the opportunity for us to add ideas and creative solutions based upon our many years of experience and technical qualifications.

The output from this dialogue may include: detailed scale drawings, mood boards, samples, detailed planting schemes with thumbnail pictures of each plant or shrub recommended and a description of what it does, when it does it – will guarantee all year round interest and a maintenance regime that suits your needs.

You will have ownership of this package in return for an agreed fixed fee to cover our designers’ time, which will then enable you to seek competitive quotes from other landscapers including (we hope!) ourselves.

If we are awarded the contract – for the soft landscaping – you will be given an on line maintenance diary without additional charge tailored precisely to your garden.

At the beginning of and during this process we will maintain a budget dialogue, doing all that we can to ensure that the design delivered does not threaten your preferred spend.

Modern garden design and planting underway, a director of the company will be given personal responsibility for your project, ensuring a reliable point of contact for queries or changes throughout. The work will invariably be priced on a fixed basis and, if there are no changes to the agreed scope, you can rest assured that the cost will be as stated at the outset.

As we have complete confidence in the quality of our workmanship, we are able to offer an unequivocal guarantee on all hard landscaping for 12 months from delivery – backed further by the reassurance you are given through Haskett’s membership of the Association of Professional Landscapers and the Government endorsed TrustMark.

There are few things quite as traditional and special as a beautifully designed and constructed brick wall and again, we have all the in house skills to deliver, whether in brick or stone, or other material of your choice.

Choosing paving can be quite a challenge – especially with ready access to Indian products for all. Knowing what you ‘get for your money’ is absolutely key and our staff can give the very best advice, ensuring that you get the best product available to suit your budget, from the lower cost real stone, to premium products for that ‘very special’ look.

We have access to the full range, both contemporary and traditional and feel confident that we shall be able to deliver the look you are after at the right price.

Our start point is to listen with great care to the simpler, but important things like: preferred colours, loves or hates, family needs (children, pets, etc.) maintenance preferences.

We can then deliver, not only detailed planting schemes to match and suit your budget, but also an on-line maintenance programme tailored specifically for your garden. Using all our contacts and the very best suppliers of specific products, we aim to create a picture that gives all year round pleasure and enjoyment.

There is nothing as relaxing as sitting quietly listening to the sound of your stream trickling past.

If you already have a stream that may need a little TLC or a piece of garden that may lend itself to being ‘converted’ into a stream, we have the necessary skills within our team to make your dreams a reality.

At Haskett we are very experienced in both building new ponds and also restoring old ones back to their former glory. Whether this is in a natural setting to encourage wildlife, or a more formal contemporary design, we have the skills and experience to provide you with the very best solutions.

At Haskett we understand what a beautiful addition decking is for any garden area. We provide exceptional quality decking construction to homes and businesses across Essex and Suffolk. A well-installed and maintained decking can boost the appeal and value of a property. Decking is a common garden feature choice across all parts of the UK, with both homeowners and business owners adding decking areas to the outside of their properties. Many restaurants and pubs, as well as private residential properties, have a decking area that they enjoy all year round.

There are good reasons for the popularity of decking. Not only is it aesthetically appealing, but it is a fantastic place to unwind. Another good thing about decking is that it can be installed quickly and affordably using our professional team at Haskett. Our workers will assess the area, letting you know all the work involved and costs upfront. Whether you opt for composite or wooden decking, we can safely and efficiently construct and install your decking area, leaving your garden looking fantastic. We use only the best quality materials to ensure you have long-lasting, outstanding results.

It is important to be aware of the maintenance required to get the most out of your decking. Caring for it correctly will enhance longevity and therefore give you more value. Although decking is a less expensive option than paving, it does come with some requirements. The UK weather means dirt, algae and moss can quickly build up on the surface, causing it to be unsightly and a slip hazard. There are some simple steps you can take to ensure this is not an issue. We have an in-depth understanding of decking and how to care for it. Contact Haskett for professional advice on decking and other garden feature options. We will make sure you are fully armed with all the relevant information in order to make an informed decision.
