Proportion is key to good garden design, it is what we look for when we enjoy a view, visit a famous garden or look at pictures and photos. When you live with a garden for a long period, you may not notice that certain plants are starting to take over and disrupt the proportion and design of your garden.
You may only realise once you start to change your planting plans to take account of the different conditions caused by the dominant plant. Or perhaps plants nearby are becoming leggy and not flowering in the way the used to. In some cases, large trees and shrubs too close to buildings and paths can affect foundations or undermine paving. If you are at that point you have a major tree maintenance task ahead, for which you may not feel confident or have the right equipment to tackle safely.
In many gardens, the tree or shrub that was so perfectly proportioned for the garden size and planting 5 or more years ago has grown and spread to dominate and even ruin the rest of the garden design. This tree or large shrub in your garden has been a wonderful focal point, providing height, shade and interest throughout the year. However, now you have accepted the height and shade has changed from a benefit to a problem, and ‘something has to be done’. Never fear Chopwell are here to help.
