A nice little project we carried out trying to re use some existing material which were already on site. We built a new Bath stone wall with sandstone coping to make a raised bed and define the edge of the new paving area. We also extended the steep existing steps and added more treads so there more user friendly and re paved with existing sandstone. We also installed two new paved areas off of the new extension which were paved in acid washed Egyptian limestone which compliments the new bath stone beautifully.

As part of an ongoing project we have installed these gabion baskets as a small retaining wall to form a pathway boundary. We decided on the use of these to minimise waste material which was on site and could all be re used to face and infill the baskets. Gabion baskets are a good solution for a retaining wall as they are cost effective allow water to run through and ideal for wildlife.

Fencing on our current project Started off by removing the old hedge which was intruding in to both properties and installed the new 1.8M high featheredge fencing all down the garden then we dropped it to around 1.2M high for the last section to the back of our new retaining wall and neighbours garage. This fencing now offers a clean boundary on this section of the garden along with added privacy.

This garden renovation is now complete, featuring two new paving areas and a natural lawn.

The bottom area boasts Ebony wood style porcelain paving with an Anthracite border that seamlessly integrates with the garden room, transforming an awkward space into a cozy seating area.

Raised beds were constructed along the fence line and top paved area, each at different heights to create visual interest. Blockwork was used to build these beds, which were then cladded in London daze porcelain wall tile and finished with Anthracite coping. To enhance the ambiance, warm white LED strip lights were installed under the copings, casting a warm glow down the walls. also added three bronze uplights to the bed, which will highlight the new shrubs as they grow.

The main patio area is covered in Rustique porcelain tile, perfectly complementing the wall cladding as it wraps around the side of the property to the front. Additionally, an Anthracite pergola was installed, offering the flexibility of an open or closed roof, making it a usable space regardless of the weather.
