Garden Design/landscaping

??? Looking for ideas and suggestions for landscaping my garden. Was thinking there maybe companies out there who may give free estimates and so give me some idea what do with my garden. Any ideas? I live in South Manchester area. :-/

    Hello as a start have you read the BBC website for gardening. It will give you some basic ideas

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/design/

    Then you could call some companies for free estimates

    Have a look in you local paper or "thomsons" for garden desgn/landscapers. I had my garden done last year and every one i called gave free estimates. I'm not local to manchester though. Most didnt have any brilliant ideas though , they just wanted to find out what I wanted and then quoted to do the work.
