Doncaster NHS St John’s Hospice Garden 2018

A complete redesign and build of the garden attached to Doncaster St John’s Hospice. The project aimed to provide a much more attractive and pleasant place for both the patients and their families to enjoy.

We carried out all the site clearance and then extensive rebuild that followed, working with very difficult site conditions brought about by underlying clay, and then having to work through the “Beast from the East” the project was still completed within 5 months, on time and within budget.

All hard landscaping, border preparation and planting was carried out by Yorkshire Water Features between January and June 2018
