Teacher’s Garden Gets The Priestgate Treatment

A Telford family are looking forward to enjoying a first summer in their brand-new garden after it was freshly landscaped by award-winning experts Priestgate Garden Specialists.

David and Tracey Casey, both teachers, were keen to turn their modest garden in Lawley into a more functional space that was easier to maintain while also offering a safe environment for their two small children to play in.

Having been recommended to them via local social media chat groups, Priestgate Garden Specialists were engaged to transform the Caseys’ garden.

The existing patio area was extended by more than a third (40m2 to 66m2), while the lawn area was reduced and levelled.  The result is a pleasant, multi-functional space to relax in while the children play, which also affords storage space to reduce clutter.

“While our existing garden served a purpose, it wasn’t really an enticing space to spend time relaxing in and wasn’t ideal for the kids to ride around in their buggies or kick a ball around,” said David, “We were recommended by several people to talk to Priestgate Garden Specialists, and after following them on Instagram and looking at their previous projects we got in touch.”

Phil Birtwhistle, Managing Director of Priestgate Garden Specialists, commented: “We were delighted to help the Caseys with their garden redesign.  Increasing the patio size gives them a more practical space in which to sit in the sunshine, barbecue or host friends, and the smaller lawn – which Priestgate will be helping to maintain going forwards – is the perfect play area for the children as they grow.”

The finished garden was so good, in fact, that it was named Garden Build Project of the Year (West Midlands) in the Home and Garden Awards 2021, hosted by BUILD magazine.

David added: “It’s amazing to think we have an award-winning garden!  We’re so pleased with what the Priestgate team has created for us and with warmer weather approaching, we’re really looking forward to enjoying it fully this year and for many years to come.”
