Reviving a lawn post-construction project and summer heat 🏡🌱☀️

Between heavy building work from a large extension and the scorching summer heat, this garden lawn was completely ruined.

The first photo shows the new lawn just 8 days after laying—taking root fast, settling neatly along the paved edges, and completely transforming the space.

It’s on track to be fully established and ready for its first light cut at the 3-week mark! ✂️✨

Swipe through to see the transformation:
1️⃣ The new lawn thriving after just 8 days.
2️⃣ Our team carefully laying the turf around the garden features and pond.
3️⃣ The prepped bare ground following the extension work and heat damage.

To guarantee the highest quality results for our clients, we partner with a premium local supplier for topsoil and turf.

Right now is the absolute perfect time to lay turf, as the soil conditions allow root systems to establish quickly before winter sets in! 🍂🌧️

🌿 GARDEN TRANSFORMATION IN HOVE 🌿

Swipe to see the before and after! ➡️

We recently wrapped up this paving and fencing transformation in Hove, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out (and neither could the client!).

This was a tricky job. Working around the mature trees and established shrubs to install the new boundaries took a lot of care and patience, but the effort was well worth it.

What we did:

* Carefully tidied, trimmed, and worked around all the existing shrubs to open up the space.
* Demolished and removed the old brick planter bed that was eating up valuable floor space.
* Extended the patio area, supplying and laying new red-toned paving slabs to create a clean, seamless walkway.
* Swapped out the old, tired trellis for premium, contemporary horizontal slatted timber fencing, finished with a beautiful protective stain.

The result is a bright, modern, and much larger-feeling courtyard that keeps all its beautiful natural character. ☀️

From groundworks to garden goals in Hove!

This recent project was a really satisfying one to tick off. We took this garden from a blank canvas of mud and stone to a crisp, beautifully finished patio space ready for summer.

What went into the build:

The Prep: Full dugout and solid base preparation to ensure longevity.
The Structure: Installed strong, clean retainers to frame the space.
The Finish: Laid this gorgeous, precise herringbone block paving.

The client is already making the most of it with their outdoor seating, but we aren't done here yet! We’ll be returning later in the year to tackle the next phase: custom steps, a new pond, and fresh turfing. Watch this space!

Phase 1: COMPLETE.. Swipe to see the night-and-day transformation, and make sure to watch the walk-through video at the end to see what we started with on Day 1! (Mind your head!)

We took this cluttered, underutilised courtyard on Osborne Villas in Hove and gave it a fresh, modern face-lift. From a forgotten yard to a bright, functional sun-trap, here is what we tackled for Phase 1:

More Space: Lifted, repaired, and relayed the block paving to level the ground and extend the floor area in preparation for a future outdoor kitchen and bar area!

Brighter Days: Repaired and painted the boundary masonry walls in crisp white to bounce the sunlight and make the plants pop.

Bespoke Features: Hand-built oak sleeper beds that perfectly frame the border and double up as extra bench seating.

Future Proofed: Installed outdoor power outlets and laid underground cables getting the space fully prepped for the new garden lighting system.

We can’t wait to get started on Phase 2 - next up is a brand new basement courtyard patio to be laid, plus seeing these beds and pots all planted out! Pictures to come!

Completion: Comprehensive Exterior Renovation 🏠🔨

We are pleased to share the results of a recently completed multi-stage renovation. This project involved a full suite of exterior works, from the front entrance through to the rear garden.

Key features of this transformation include:**

Porch Restoration: A full refurbishment including the removal of decayed timber, structural wood replacement, new tiling, and a professional paint finish. We also installed a new guttering system to ensure long-term weather protection.

Hardscaping & Driveway: Installation of a high-specification gravel driveway. This was constructed with a deep-bed MOT sub-base, grano screed, and a gravel-mat stabilisation system to provide a durable, permeable surface that prevents shifting.

Perimeter & Security: Installation of new timber fencing and a matching gate to enhance the property's boundary and kerb appeal.

Landscaping: To the rear, we stripped the existing turf and replaced it with premium new turf, framed by bespoke timber sleeper lawn edges for a clean, architectural finish.

From the initial groundwork and excavation to the final carpentry and decorative details, our team ensured a seamless transition across all trades.

A fantastic day working in the Hove Park area yesterday! ☀️

We finished up this fresh close-board fence, but the real highlight was the company. A huge thank you to the lovely family for having us, and a special shout-out to the "little helpers" who kept us on our toes!

It’s always a pleasure working on local projects like this one. The garden is now safe, secure, and ready for some summer fun.

There is nothing quite like the look of a freshly laid lawn. Our client in Hove is delighted with the end result. The original surface was incredibly uneven and had been taken over by moss, so we started again:

✅ The Strip: Removed the old, mossy turf and cleared the site.
✅ The Prep: Levelled the entire area to ensure a perfectly flat finish.
✅ The Foundation: Added a fresh layer of high-quality topsoil.
✅ The Finish: Laid premium fresh turf for that instant transformation.

Shout-out to C.B. Winter & Sons for supplying the top-tier soil and turf for this project. The quality really speaks for itself!

From Overgrown & Sloping to a Clean, Modern Retreat 🌿

We recently took on a garden that had become hidden under years of invasive plants and old builder rubble. Our mission was to strip it all back and create a safe, flat, and functional space that prioritised accessibility without a heavy reliance on concrete.

In a narrow, rectangular garden, straight lines can create a "tunnel effect" that makes the space feel small. We introduced a sweeping curve to break up those rigid lines. This simple design trick draws the eye across the garden, creating a sense of movement that makes the entire area feel significantly wider and more open.

What we did:

Levelled for Safety: We cleared the site and used timber sleepers to create a solid, flat platform with mobility in mind.

Natural Materials: We opted for steel edging and an all-natural self-bonding gravel path. It’s firm and stable underfoot, which is perfect for easy access, while maintaining a soft, organic look.

Vertical Growth: Installed new posts, trellis and trellis wires, ready for the client’s favourite climbing plants to take over this summer.

The result is a clean, inviting blank canvas that exceeded our client’s expectations! It’s amazing what a bit of clever design and hard work can do to reclaim a "lost" space.

Update on one of our ongoing projects in Hove this week!

We’ve completely transformed this side entrance, swapping out the old weathered panels and posts for modern horizontal slatted fencing. The highlight was hand-building this bespoke gate on-site, so it sits perfectly flush with the rest of the fence line for a much cleaner look.

We also got the new timber sleeper edging installed, prepping the borders before we strip the turf, level and install the new turf next week.

These are a couple of elements of a broader renovation for this client; next will be a new driveway and the completion of the wooden porch refurbishment.
