Hello again , not posted in a while got to much on at one time got 3 lovely complex jobs to put up that were a lot of work in each , this is one of the last jobs ,This job was in Dargavel bishopton , most people know we don't usually work in here most jobs we price people don't want to do with the correct construction we need to do , this customer was different , there was like most new sites a problem with drainage even though grass looks nice you couldn't stand on it most of the time so we were to dig out entire garden then fill with the correct materials to do what we wanted , we ended up digging out 135 tons with over 90 tons going back in all with a micro digger round back and 4 power barrows , entire garden was excavated down 300mm to builders level , with the decking area and the artificial grass areas used as a tank for garden water these were dug out 600mm deep , the posts for the decking subframe are over 1m long but decking only 150mm above ground , these hold a huge amount of water in heavy rain and discharge slowly , there is a dry river bed round perimeter built with a large block wall against the fence with random reclaimed stones built on top with a large flower bed in corner river bed built up with crushed brick then drainage chip then scottish pebbles with the front wall in Tobermore garden walling , The slabs are Tobermore Historic paving with a Millboard decking in smoked oak entire frame is plas pro plastic framing able to go under water for 100 years plus with no degregation there is 35 posts supporting this decking , dry river bed wraps round garden to finish in a small dry pool , artificial grass is a tank with proper edging round fence with the customer planting themselves, the front house entrance was to get slabbing widened to make entrance to house easier to use with a front artificial grass area raised up with matching house stone as a feature this part is also a large tank , we excavated next to house down 300mm as house vents were never going to get water near them over 70 % of work done can't be seen but that is what was needed , thanks again to this customer for going ahead we happy with job as are they , will get next job up shortly cheers again
