Well isn’t it nice to have a bit of sun ☀️

Big progress on this huge garden transformation over the past week.
Over 60 ton of soil/clay all barrowed out and a similar amount of concrete and rocks taken for recycling.

A big new retaining wall and built in planter out of natural sandstone walling.
The sandstone is not the easiest to work with but it’s going to look stunning when done.

Then on to the small matter of approx 250 large format porcelain slabs to lay along with more walls and steps.

Cannot wait to see this project finished and planted up in all its glory.

Our latest job, after battling torrential rain for a week.
Back on to the ‘New Build’ gardens with poor soil, zero drainage and boring grey concrete slabs. And this particular estate the fence needed repairs after less than a year.

Anyway, after completely digging out, we installed new drainage, a good solid base for patio and this nice Florence Grey porcelain.
New soil and turf completed the job nicely.

We just need some nice weather now ☀️

Finishing touches adding to this project today.

A lot of unseen structural work gone on with this job building retaining walls, moving drainage and manholes.

What was a useless sloped grass area has been transformed into a big driveway to get the family cars off the road. With over 100 ton of soil removed, footings dug and walls built.

New steps and an access ramp have been constructed, and all finished off with Indian Grey sandstone and matching wall cladding. Black Ice decorative gravel finishes the driveway beautifully.

This has turned out very well 😁

Sorry we’ve been quiet lately.
That doesn’t mean we’ve not been working, actually quite the opposite with working all over Christmas on another school contract.

The task for this job

Take up old ripped rubber matting.
Add drainage as the area floods and floods classroom.
Take down blue brick wall and railings and create an access ramp.

As you can see it’s worked out very well.
New drainage channel cut in. New rubber hopscotch mats and surrounded by porcelain paving that’s easy to clean, and with different colours available has added a bit of character.

The wall was built and designed with more porcelain cladding it to avoid new bricks not matching the existing bricks.

The railings were taken down, cut to sizes and fabricated.

A nice change from the normal garden landscape jobs and very enjoyable to do.
On to the next in half term! 😁💪👍

The finishing touches added to what is one of our largest garden design projects to date. This will look absolutely amazing once the electrician has fitted the final few bits to the lighting.

With extra large format porcelain paving tiles. Specifically made matching bullnose step treads and copings to cap the walls. This was by far one it the most challenging jobs too but working with super high quality materials (London Stone) it also became very rewarding.

Can’t wait to see this in the dark over next few weeks to see the lighting.

What a nice fill in job this is.
Out in the countryside with sheep 🐑 and cows 🐄 as your neighbours.
The instructions were ‘Do what you want we trust you’
And the fatal words of ‘No rush’

But what a property this will be inside and out.

A mixture of old and new with big reclaimed granite rocks to form the steps.
Natural Grey sandstone paving to create a large patio overlooking miles of fields.
Matching paths to link the different areas.
New brick walls to create the different levels and new topsoil and turf which in spring will all look amazing.

Daylight very nearly beat us today.

But after dodging hard frosts, torrential rain the final touches have been put to this small simple but effective patio.

Out with the very old dated crazy paving, replaced with modern Venetian Beige porcelain paving.

Another quality installation 👌 👍

Just some of my recent paving creations I’ve designed, cut and installed for various customers.

Designs for your beloved pets, your favourite football team and Remembrance Day are just some of the ideas.

Now getting a bit more recognition over the country with one design appearing on Homes under the Hammer, and others making local news.

A new design of the Lancaster Bomber is also in its early stages of being cut too, which I’m sure with fit in well in a display somewhere.
