Before & after of a porcelain patio we recently completed in Overton, Basingstoke.

We transformed this unused corner of the garden into a practical and attractive outdoor space.

The customer had inherited an existing porcelain patio alongside the house, so we went the extra mile to source the exact same paving pattern and seamlessly extend the existing area.

Another garden transformed by J Burgess Landscapes. 🌿

🌱 IS YOUR LAWN LOOKING BROWN AND PATCHY AFTER THE HOT WEATHER? ☀️

Don’t panic — in many cases, your lawn isn’t dead!

During prolonged hot and dry weather, grass can go dormant to protect itself. This is why lawns can turn brown, dry and straw-like when there has been very little rainfall.

🌧️ The good news? Once we start getting regular rainfall and cooler temperatures, many lawns will naturally begin to recover.

You may start to see new green growth within 10–14 days, although a lawn that has been under stress for a long period can take several weeks to fully recover.

🌿 How to help your lawn recover

✔️ Give it a good, deep watering rather than little amounts every day
✔️ Avoid heavy use while the grass is stressed
✔️ Don’t cut it too short
✔️ Once growth starts again, gradually return to your normal mowing routine
✔️ If you have completely bare patches, these may need reseeding

September is also an excellent time to repair and reseed lawns. The temperatures are generally cooler, while the soil can still be warm enough for grass seed to establish.

If your lawn has suffered through the summer and you’re not sure whether it will recover, J Burgess Landscapes can take a look and advise you on the best way forward.

Going through the camera roll completed this around 10 years ago. We laid the circle first then cut the paving to it. We worked in the same street recently and the homeowner was having an extension built and this got ripped up. I do like the different contrast of colours with this patio

Before and after of a front garden project.
New artificial grass, sleeper beds and grey sandstone effect porcelain paving.

Completed this project in a day. New path and step using porcelain paving and 20mm local gravel. We offer free advice and quotes. We pop around measure up and go through any ideas you may have, then you simply pop into the Tadley branch of rivar sand and gravel and choose the paving you like from our massive paving display. We take care of the rest full excavation, subbase and clearing away all spoils created. We lay all our paving on a full wet sand cement mix mortar bed NOT dot and dab. All our paving has a slurry primer coated onto the back just prior to laying. Porcelain, sandstone and limestone all on display. Visit www.jburgesslandscapes.com

Replaced and extended this existing patio with grey sandstone. Took a bit longer because of the heatwave. Started an hour earlier before the heat got unbearable.
