And finally we have the Laggan CL Caravan & Motorhome Parking finished. Just over 3 weeks from a messy field to a completed job with 4 of the 5 pitches occupied tonight.

We have spent the last week laying 8 tonnes of turf, erecting over 140 metres of fencing and hanging 3 gates. Delighted with the overall look and finish of the site, as are the happy campers.

Another job we recently completed for the Forces Manor in kincraig.
We removed some of the entrance wall for future works to widen the entrance. We created a new foot path up onto the raised rear garden where there will be a large extension onto the existing building along with a large shed. We dug the founds for both of these and will be back at a later date to finish these and start another project for them.

Any projects like these you require get in touch with Chris on 07958199946.

Apologies for the lack of posts, we have been flat out all over the highlands since the snow finally disappeared.

We recently installed 2 concrete bases for a customer. We started of by demolishing and exposing of an old timber extension , dug out the old garden and brought in stone to build up levels so that both bases were the exact same height. These will both have timber structures built on, one a gym and the other an office (photos to follow). We then lay type one down on the carpark and driveway, rolled and lay chips to give a nice finish. We will be back once the gym and office have been finished to complete some more groundwork’s round the property.

For any groundwork’s jobs you require please contact Chris on 07958199946

A bit of water works at home. It's amazing to see the frost is still over 0.5m deep into the ground even after a few days of a thaw.

We recently dug out and installed a slabbed area for a customer. We then installed the oil tank and ran the pipe work, reinstated the garden and left it ready for the local plumber to install.

A recent carpark renovation for a client in Kingussie.

We started off with a pile of rock armor that the client had already purchased. we stripped the site back to allow us to build a retaining wall using this. We dug a drain along the foot of the wall, placed a perforated pipe and filled with drain stone, then leveled the carpark using existing gravel and capped off with a layer of type one to give a finish. We will be back in the spring time to start project number 2 for this happy customer.

Any enquiries please get in touch with Chris on 07958199946

Here is a short video of this very handy machine making short work of putting a fence up. We have several large fencing jobs to do throughout the valley, so it was worth bringing this up the road, to try and speed them up. It's the only one of it's type in the country and we are the first contractors to hire it. So far we are really impressed with it as it will go just about anywhere and is especially suited to soft ground conditions. It has the added benefit of being able to move it without having to jump in and out of the cab all the time. We have the option to extend the hire if needed, so if anyone is looking for some fencing to be done, please PM us on here or call Christopher on 07958 199946.

We originally delivered a load of compost to this customer in Grantown earlier this year, who asked if we would be interested in a bit of a garden makeover for them!! We have just about completed phase 1 and this is the end result. The old tired lawn has been replaced with wooden sleepers on edge to form raised beds throughout. We then filled them with another 10 loads of compost ready for the seeding and planting. The paths have been formed and phase 2 will involve finishing them along with decorative slabed patio area. But for now, after a huge amount of work, we are delighted with the end result.

We thought it would be good to let everyone see the sleeper planter boxes in place. We did the second delivery on Friday back down to the borders, and spent the day levelling out the ground they were sitting on, and filling them with compost. The finished result looks fantastic, and once they are all planted they will look stunning. This has been a huge job for us logistically as sourcing enough sleepers during covid has not been easy. And then transporting everything over 3 hours each time has been a challenge as each load was oversize!! But we made it, and we have very happy customers in Anne & Steve, happy planting guys!!

Thats us loaded up for our first delivery of some serious planter boxes. This is the first 5 of a special order of 9 for friends in the borders. So it will be an early start in the morning to get down there, unloaded and back on the same day.

The first job was to replace an old fence with a new one. We just kept the same style, but replaced everything so they will get years and years out of it. The second one was a new 6' high fence for a customer in Fort William, that we had already sorted their garden out for. We are now going back to replace their front fence as they were so pleased with the job!!
