Instant Eden: Gardening & Landscaping

23/08/2026

A fantastic look back at one of our recent full garden transformations, and even better, this video was created and shared with us by our customer after we completed the work! 🌿

This was a large project with plenty of different elements, including:

• Two new sandstone patios and connecting pathways
• Large timber pergola
• Slatted screening added to the existing fencing
• Fence lighting installed throughout the garden
• New topsoil and freshly laid turf
• Pop-up lawn irrigation system
• Slim-format pavers to transform the front garden
• New drainage channels and recessed drain covers for a clean finish

A lot of work went into bringing all the different areas together, and it’s great to see the finished garden being enjoyed.

A huge thank you to our customer for putting the video together and allowing us to share it.

✨ Another garden transformed! ✨

This tired, uneven patio had seen better days, so the customer wanted a cleaner, lower-maintenance space that complemented the character of their home. So here's what we did:

✅ Removed the old uneven paving
✅ Installed a new, smaller Indian sandstone patio to create a practical seating area
✅ Fitted treated timber sleeper retainers to define the garden and hold the new levels
✅ Finished the surrounding areas with decorative gravel for a fresh, low-maintenance finish
The result is a much brighter, more usable outdoor space with improved drainage, clean lines, and a timeless look that suits the property perfectly.

🌿 Another garden transformation complete! 🌿

This new build garden started with the typical small builder's patio and uneven lawn. Our brief was to create a space that was practical, looked great, and gave the family somewhere to relax and entertain, so here's what we did:
✅ Large Indian sandstone patio
✅ New sandstone side path
✅ Sleeper retaining edge to create a level patio and lawn
✅ Raised sleeper planter, ready for planting
✅ Composite decking with a timber pergola to create a second seating area

By carefully regrading the garden and using sleeper retaining edges, we were able to maximise the usable space without compromising the lawn.
A huge improvement that the family can enjoy for years to come.
If you've recently moved into a new build and aren't sure where to start, we'd be happy to help design and build a garden that suits your lifestyle.

✨️ Another large project recently completed ✨️

This garden required a lot of careful planning as one of the biggest challenges was access. Whilst transporting materials in and out of a garden is part of most landscaping projects, in this case the front garden sat considerably lower than the rear garden, meaning every load of material had to be moved over a significant distance and height difference.

The completed project included:
🪨 Nearly 100m² of Autumn Brown sandstone paving
🪨 6.5 tonnes of decorative gravel
🧱 Almost 20m² of stone walling
🌱 New raised planting beds filled with over 3 tonnes of soil
🚛 Approximately 40 tonnes of waste material removed from site

Despite the scale of the work, the project was completed on schedule and as you can see, it has completely transformed the space into a practical and attractive garden that can be enjoyed for years to come.

A huge thank you to Simon and family for choosing Instant Eden. 👍🏻

From dated paving and awkward curved lawn areas to a clean, modern outdoor space designed to be both practical and low maintenance! 🌿

The project included:
🌼 Large porcelain patio and pathway areas
🌼 New front entrance path and step
🌼 Sleeper retaining beds and planting areas
🌼 Fresh new turf throughout
🌼 Decorative gravel detailing
🌼 Re-shaped garden layout for better flow and usability
🌼 New side access and utility spaces

The combination of light porcelain paving, darker borders, fresh timber sleepers and structured planting has given the garden a bright, modern finish while still keeping plenty of greenery to soften the space 🌱

We’ve recently discovered that Facebook has been hiding some customer recommendations due to privacy settings 😅

A few customers kindly left reviews that were only visible to friends rather than publicly on the page, so if you’ve recommended us in the past it may not be visible on our page, it may just need the audience/privacy setting changing to “Public”.

We really appreciate every single recommendation and review left for us over the years — they genuinely help small businesses like ours more than people realise 🌿

And of course, if we’ve completed work for you and you haven’t yet left a review, we’d massively appreciate it 😊

Thank you again for all the continued support.

A great transformation on this garden 🔥✨

We started by removing two tired fence panels that had been taken over by ivy instantly opening up the space and freshening the boundary. 🌿
Next, we built a bespoke corner pergola to create a real feature seating area, finished with sandstone edging setts and a clean gravel surround 👌
The old, worn slabs were lifted and replaced with beautiful sandstone paving, giving the patio a completely new look and feel.
To keep things efficient and sustainable ♻️ we reused the existing slabs to widen the pathway and finished it off with a nice gravel border making the whole space more usable and giving it a whole new look ✨
