Gardens and drives in London Colney
Lane gardens and later estates sit side by side, close to the Colne.
London Colney is on the route from Elstree towards St Albans, close to the Colne. A lane garden often wants a hedge and an old path put right. A later estate garden often wants a patio and grass that can be cut at the weekend.
The nearest published gardens are in St Albans: circular patios, turf on brought-in topsoil, and a monthly visit once the build is done. The same order applies here when a plot is tired grass and little else.
St Albans City and District Council covers planning in the parish, including trees in a conservation area. Check before felling is booked.
