Other Services

Paul Stone will recommend 3 expert contractors to independently quote to carry out the design proposal. A schedule of work can be provided to ensure the quotations are comparable and that all the necessary elements of the work are taken into account. Advice on placing an order is then given.

  • Supervision Service

You may prefer that Paul Stone supervises the work by contractors with daily, weekly or monthly visits to the garden build.
Many clients wish to carry out all or some of the elements of the garden build themselves, perhaps phased over a number of seasons or years. Paul Stone can give advice and support.
