We took a sunny corner of this garden in Coleraine and made a fantastic and private seating area with composite decking and a 'living wall' screen.

Brilliant client to work for! 👌

Getting a good strong base is the most important part of a good deck construction. To maximise the life of this deck, we constructed a frame of 150mm x 50mm joists and raised it just above the ground using 100mm x 100mm posts. The frame was painted with bitumen and then a damp proof course was added to the top for even more protection. Has to be done right!!

Now the best spot in the garden!

This little pergola was built in just a day but has made a big difference to the garden. Pergolas are a great way to frame a seating area and will help give more privacy to your outside space. Looking forward to seeing the climbing plants make their way up the structure to make the space feel even more special.

Delighted to help these great clients in Coleraine to enhance their garden 😊.

It doesn't always have to be a massive project to get the most out of your garden! Take a look at this lovely Mercury Porcelain patio completed for a wonderful family in Coleraine.

We took a rather dead space and made it into the perfect space for sitting out and enjoying the sunshine. The patio was angled to accommodate parking , but still plenty big enough for entertaining friends with a BBQ!

Mercury Porcelain closely resembles kandla grey sandstone, so you get all the texture and character of natural stone, but the ease of maintenance of porcelain. Porcelain is non slip and a perfect choice for all weather. We finished this patio with black granite kerbs to really compliment the colour of the porcelain. We even integrated a small recessed opening for a washing line 😊 to make the absolute most of the space. To tidy the background up we installed a simple fence, that provides a great clean backdrop to the patio.

Lovely family to work for and pleasure to help them with their project.

Recently completed garden project in Coleraine for really fantastic clients 😊.

Full design and build by Custom Landscapes, incorporating a modern nature pond with 'floating' step, gabion retaining walls and beautiful silver granite porcelain. We used the same porcelain with black granite setts and kerbs to also take the design right around the house to form a stunning entrance to the property, which really compliments the client's beautiful home. The garden and pond will be heavily planted, so we will update pictures once complete, but for now, please take a look at the designs for an idea of how the finished space will look! The 'before photos' are also featured in the pictures, so take a look to see the transformation!

Thanks as always to all suppliers of materials and services:
