🔥 another 3 bite the dust 🔥

As the first half of 2026 comes to a close we finished off with some smaller but just as important jobs being done “no job too small” 💪🏼 ⚓️

First was large sleeper/planters wrapped round this rear garden with deep drainage installed inside of the sleeper beds taking in the higher neighbouring gardens water which was causing this garden issues and distributing it round and away from the main grass area

Secondly we installed a new walk way using 900x600 pressed concrete paving and Cotswold buff gravel giving the front of the property a fresh lift and better access into the front door

Lastly French drains we installed 22m of French drains again taking away excess water and drying up this sodden grass area

We are now officially on our summer holiday 😎 ☀️ ✈️

Back with a bang in July ⚓️

And let’s start with the retaining wall…a stunning new retaining wall done using Laird Strathstone split walling in Grampian Grey 😍 capped with Talasey’s bellezza fino 😮‍💨

We move onto the paving and it’s a client favourite, we installed 2 patio areas and walkways 1 patio we added a lovely curve appeal 💫 we continued the theme from the copes on the wall wrapping this clients house in Talaseys Bellezza fino 900x600 and edged with Lairds Phoenix Graphite blocks and finished with Azpects graffito grout , we also done 2 steps to match the front walling doing them in Laird Strathstone split wall Grampian grey

💫🔥 another 1 bites the dust 🔥💫

All this client wanted was the garden to be more level so we got to work and did our thing ⚓️

We decided to split it into 2 levels the first level consisting of 35sqm porcelain patio using talasey bellezza lago lite 900x600 also cladding the tops and fronts of the stair case in lago ,
We then went with a newtech composite grey decking cladding for the side and a matching new handrail 😮‍💨 we continued the grey theme with the block border and grout 👌
Then onto a large Artificial Grass area using Tuda 45mm Marbella Astro grass 😍

Splitting the levels we went with green treated timber sleepers , making 2 large planter areas dividing the bottom and top area 🪴

Lower level we split it in half with a lovely curved patio in lago and Astro in Marbella then added in a curved corner feature using upright sleepers

This returning client wanted us to continue the front garden theme into the rear garden so this is how it went…

Tight access through the close and we just managed to get a micro digger in after the 2nd attempt 🤣

Full rip out of the old concrete area and over grown grass & shrubs

New geo membrane then in with type1 aggregate to our set heights & falls

We then installed a 3x5.5m patio, symmetrical walk ways and a new double step in 900x600 quartz white porcelain with the charcoal block border finished with the charcoal grout line onto the artificial grass we used a 40mm pile tampa Astro grass and then dolorock gravel for the trim 💫
