Open - Outdoor Design Through sustainable landscape design we can help you enjoy, and make the most of your outdoor space. So who am I?

Well I'm Mike and I run a Heaton Moor based family business. I love playing an active role in the community that I was born, live and work in. I’m a member of the ‘4 Heaton’s Traders Association’, and I help run our award winning ‘Heaton’s Men In Sheds’ group based at St Paul’s church that’s helping to combat social isolation in our older generation. I’ve enjoyed a 35 year career as a corporate Pr

ogramme & Project Manager delivering multi-million pound projects into retail chains, global telecoms suppliers and a leading UK bank. I have a wealth of experience and an eye for detail, so when it comes to working and delivering a quality finish on your garden, you can be assured It will be exactly as planned. I take great pride in the quality and standards of my workmanship, whilst keeping an eye on remaining great value for money. I use local suppliers where practical, as this supports our own community, reduces road miles driven, and means changes can be delivered quickly and easily should they be required. I believe in going that extra mile to turn good into great, and am passionate about making your dream garden become a reality! It's a well documented fact that spending quality time in your garden is great for your wellbeing and mental health. At Open' we strive to create inviting and enjoyable garden environments to help improve your lifestyle through better outdoor experiences. Playful, practical and innovating designs to help you make the most of your outdoor space. Bringing the outside in, from alfresco dining to that cosy outdoor lounge area. Low maintenance raised beds built with super strong timber sleepers are our speciality!

C16 is usually sourced (Not exclusively) and is a fast grown timber. You can get treated C16 but this certainly didn't have any stamps to say so, which is unusual if it is. It's better suited to internal use on things like stud walls.

Whereas C24 is usually European sourced (for the UK at least) and is a slow grown timber that is much more structurally sound. External timber must be treated to UC3 for above ground use, and UC4 when in contact with the ground.
