London Landscaping boom coming as city dwellers become more environmentally aware?

London landscaping contractors could see an upturn in trade as city slickers go green by transforming their tiny gardens into lush retreats where they can escape the stresses of hectic of urban living.

London landscaping contractors could see an upturn in trade as city slickers go green by transforming their tiny gardens into lush retreats where they can escape the stresses of hectic of urban living.

Clinton Foakes whose building firm undertakes London Landscaping projects said the trend, which is seeing more green spaces created in the capital’s backyards, was a great thing for all Londoners.

Guerrilla gardeners have also made a difference by performing London landscaping jobs under cover of night in random areas like roundabouts and car parks to brighten up drab urban areas.

Web sites like urbangardeningmagazine.com and guerrillagardening.org have been springing up in recent years; showing a rapid mobilisation of green fingered city dwellers who are determined to make a difference.

Of course, London’s Borough councils do their best to brighten up their own patches with a few shrubs or by planting trees and hedges - but with ordinary Londoners taking up spades against the urban sprawl, the city might soon become a startling oasis of colour and vibrancy.

 London Landscaping initiatives for the homeowner need not be dramatic alterations like building patios, ponds and pergolas: some of the simplest ideas sometimes have the greatest impact.

Hanging baskets, grow bags, tumbling roses and window boxes all have the ability to provide that hint of colour, which can greatly enhance the character and appearance of an urban area. 

 Clinton Foakes said: “London landscaping is definitely a market niche which has grown over recent years as we become more environmentally aware and more inclined to make the best of our surroundings,”

“It’s a great thing for all Londoners to be able to enjoy a bit more green space and floral decoration in the busy city – the phenomenon of guerrilla gardening in particular shows how people are even  inclined to take direct action in an attempt to make the city a more pleasant place to be.” He added.
