πŸ”₯ PROJECT COMPLETE πŸ”₯

What a transformation this one has been!

From the initial dig out right through to the finished landscaping, we’ve completely transformed this garden.

⛏️ 130 tonnes of soil excavated and removed

🧱 New retaining walls with a smooth rendered finish

πŸ“ Splayed steps formed to create a feature access up into the garden

🏑 New pathways formed around the house

πŸͺ¨ 75 sqm of patio and pathways laid using Sahara Indian Sandstone

✨ Finished with new coping stones and a clean, modern look throughout

With some seriously tight and awkward access, getting the digger and materials in and out was a challenge β€” but we got it done! πŸ’ͺ

We’ve worked through some seriously hot days on this one too πŸ₯΅β˜€οΈ, making the transformation even more rewarding now we can finally step back and see the finished result.

And a massive thank you to our clients, who have been absolutely fantastic from start to finish and a genuine pleasure to work for. It makes such a difference when you have great clients on a project like this! πŸ™Œ

Another one completed, another garden completely transformed. βœ…

Thanks to everyone involved β€” onto the next one! πŸ‘Š

Footings concreted and another good step forward on this project πŸ‘Œ

Just over 6 tonnes of ballast moved around 30 metres to the work area, mixed on site and placed into the footings.

A busy 5 hours keeping the track barrow and mixer moving, but great to get it all completed in one go πŸ’ͺπŸ₯΅

Now we can start looking forward to putting everything back together and seeing this one take shape. Block work starts tomorrow 🧱

The footing is all dug out and ready for concrete today! πŸ’ͺ

A massive amount of soil shifted β€” around 110 tonnes dug out and moved roughly 40 metres to the muckaway area πŸ₯΅πŸšœ

A huge effort from the team to get us to this stage. πŸ‘

Now looking forward to getting the concrete in and putting everything back together! πŸ”¨πŸš§

🚧 Progress update! 🚧

The new retaining wall is taking shape, with around 400 blocks being installed to provide long-lasting structural integrity. πŸ’ͺ

We've also fitted weep vents to allow water to drain away, and the wall will be backfilled with clean stone for added support and drainage.

Steady progressβ€”more updates coming soon! πŸ‘€βœ…

πŸ”₯ New project started today! πŸ”₯

Despite the hot weather, we got stuck straight into it and managed to get the digger through some very tight and awkward access to reach the site. πŸ’ͺ🚜

Today we completed the footing excavation and concrete pour for a new retaining wall right at the top of the garden, setting the foundations for what's to come.

The main project kicks off next week, and it's going to be a good one... πŸ‘€

Stay tuned for progress updates βœ…

🏑 Project Complete for Another Valued Returning Customer πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈβœ¨

We're delighted to share the finished results of this garden transformation project!
Over the past few weeks we've successfully:

βœ… Widened the existing pathways for improved access and usability
βœ… Built new face brick garden walls to define and enhance the space
βœ… Installed beautiful Indian sandstone paving throughout the garden
βœ… Regraded and blended the lawn to achieve the correct levels
βœ… Laid fresh turf to create a lush, seamless finish

The completed garden now offers a much cleaner layout, improved functionality, and a fresh new look that will be enjoyed for years to come.

It's always a pleasure to return to previous customers and help bring the next stage of their vision to life. Thank you for trusting us once again with your outdoor space.

Another water ingress issue for a client of ours πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

On inspection, we discovered that the cavity wall was soaking up water in the fully insulated cavity due to mortar breaking down on the brickwork.

The options were, repoint or render.
Render is definitely the best option to ensure a waterproof wall.

We also installed cavity trays to stop the water running into the garage.

Along with a new EPDM rubber roof system to replace the old, broken down original felt roof.

Over all a good job done, with a lovely Sunday of painting in the sun β˜€οΈ

Happy days βœ…
