Another from the 2025 summer. A low timber picket fence installed for this lovely cottage in Ampthill. Client painted it all black prior to fitting.

This was part of a larger job at the property which included a closeboard install, you can just see this on the right side. We used Durapost inters for this job as all the posts up the retainer wall had been previously built into the brickwork. Using Durapost classic inters made a tricky reinstatement much easier.

Post and Chain. Another recent summer job, It's been some years since I last carried out similar work to this, it may even have been the pre-digital era which accounts for why I cannot locate the images.

This install just denotes the clients boundary, the posts are set into the back of the kerb line, the posts follow the shape, so yes, it's intentionally not straight.....

Posts and Finials - Galvanised steel with black powder coat finish (from Harrod Horticultural online).

Chain and fittings from English Chain (online).

One of the bigger summer jobs undertaken is this composite decking build.

We lifted an old, rotten timber deck, squared up the gravel bed and built a complete new sub-frame. Customer opted for Trex decking.

Built some planters with the off cuts!

A wet day, so sitting in the office allows some catch up........

Had a busy summer this year, one of the smaller jobs was this section of composite trellis and the interwoven panel that we fitted onto a wall. Customer supplied the materials on this one, sourced from Charles and Ivy. Fortunately it just fitted after adaption to the gate wall plate.

Second image shows some timber wall mounted trellis from last year. We just added the top two sections at the customers request.

This past week's now completed project. Track dig out and stone. Installation of 3.6mt vehicle barrier gate and adjacent kissing gate. Some post and rail to make secure. This is work for a local Parish Council and part of ongoing (hence security fencing across the front!) works to access a new recreational area for the Parish.

And right up to date, in the past week I have installed this section of Closeboard Fencing built up on Durapost (brown) Classic intermediates. This is the view from the clients drive, I'd like to show you the front but there is a lovely tree fully obscuring the view!

Disclaimer... No blossom was harmed in the building of this fence!

Here is a snapshot of a landscaping package from last year, I wont bore you with the other 47 images but we took out an old patio, raised 'rockery' and created new patio, paths and lawn area.

Raised Beds. The 'sleeper' beds have been completed in the past month, the 'plank' beds were last year (2024).

Seems it been a while since I posted on here. I have been busy.....

In no particular order some jobs from the recent past.

Below is a repair to a garage floor. The client had inherited a shallow pit in their garage where the previous owner likely used it for a crawl space under a car. I took away the old rotting timber covers, placed hardcore and compacted then a decent lump of concrete was placed to make good.

Finally managed a whole week without any rain! One of the completed jobs from last week, privacy trellis on Anthracite Durapost inters. They sit on a Durapost Prima gravelboard (c/w with reinforcing bar).

A recently completed 1950mm high closeboard fence on Durapost galvanised inters. Another job that had to be done between the downpours. Roll on summer.

First Durapost install of 2024! Recently completed in Wixams, small run of closeboard panels on Durapost composite gravelboards and Durapost Classic inters. Two 45 degree corners (and some drainage) to get around. corners were double posted and infilled with Cant Rails, it worked well. A happy customer.
