When installing driveways, we utilise various materials that are highly cost-effective but still visually appealing. Including clay brick, granite and concrete driveways, asphalt and block paving. The most significant factor is that they will have a much longer life than cheaper materials due to their quality and durability. To match with the design of your house or to compliment the driveway there is the option to add distinctive edging, walling or fencing. Whatever design you choose will transform your property and add market value too.
At RTC we believe decking can transform your garden. Whether it is to extend your living space or make the most out of uneven or steep gardens, we will recommend high quality timber or composite decking materials and install them to the highest standard. Our range of products is completely versatile as there are many styles and types of wood to choose from. We can design and install long-lasting and low-maintenance decking boards throughout South Wales.
Fencing is an integral part of anyone’s garden and they are installed for many reasons. Fencing that has been designed and installed correctly can keep out pests, add security and privacy to your property or simply be a decorative boundary for your home. In the winter months, the poor weather and wind can cause storm damage to garden fences. At RTC we work to high standards to provide a 24-hour storm damage call-out service.
We have a large range of garden products, such as gazebos, pergolas, garden sheds, garden offices, summerhouses and more!
A RTC garden structure is more than a stylish wooden garden building, it provides an extra garden room that can have multiple uses like family room, or man cave such as games room, or garden gym etc, space for parties and entertaining according to what is important to you and your family.
The Lighting in your garden can add that extra wow factor to a project. Using clever lighting systems we can showcase certain aspects of your garden at certain times of the night. As well as this, lighting can be a useful security tool for your home. We work with trusted local electricians to provide all your outdoor lighting needs.
Tree surgery is part of the larger body of arboriculture and deals primarily with all aspects of tree care and maintenance. In urban areas, there is always a fine balancing act between maximising green areas and caring for buildings and public safety, so having highly trained and experienced professionals is essential when carrying out any kind of tree work.If a tree has been felled, or perhaps it was removed a while ago, we can grind the stumps down to usually about 30cm bellow ground level, so that the area can be landscaped at ease.
Urban jungles and lost gardens recovered and reclaimed. Sites cleared for extensions and landscaping projects. Rubbish and detritus removal from new acquisitions. We cover it all and can generally transform most overgrown gardens within a day.It’s surprising just how much can be achieved by a couple of people with a few basic tools. Every year we are invited to clear abandoned or neglected space covering some sixty or seventy square meters with head height brambles,
Now that you have achieved your dream garden, it is time to face the practical side of things, i.e. garden maintenance. A colourful flower bed or a well manicured lawn does require attention to keep looking at its best throughout the seasons.
Before even stepping into your garden, an outdoor area that creates a vivid first impression to your visitors is the patio. Do you think they will be bowled over by the lushness of your garden if they are welcomed by the dusty, moss-covered patio tiles? Not a chance. RTC can power wash your patio removing those weeds and re point the patio.
Our design service includes a site visit to discuss the project and your ideas, a 2D and 3D design (fully annotated with all details and measurements) and a follow up meeting to refine the design and make any adjustments you would like.
