  • cost of water features that attract nature

    What are the best stores/websites to find high quality water features? What are the best water features you’d recommend both to attract nature (e.g. birds and bees) and to add aesthetic value. I’d prefer a mix of water features that make noise and those that are nice and quiet. How much would these features cost on average? What are the best ways to lay them out throughout my garden?

    Curved concrete paths

    I'm looking at having a long curved winding path in my garden, will either be concrete or wood, but want to know if there is something I can use in either plastic or wood just to make the shape before the concrete is poured or the wood gets put into place so I have a defined path area before I start.

    small summer house shed combo

    I have a big London plane tree at the bottom of my garden. I'd like to have a garden shed / summer house at the bottom of the garden. The London plain produces abundant leaves. Would that cause a problem to the structure in the long run? I would prefer paving slabs, rather than concrete as a base. Would that be ok?
