Customer wanted something different to enhance the front of there property, so i suggested a raised planter built out of Purbeck random walling with a power supply duct insert for a water feature, the outside edge had some Porcelain slabs laid with shingle inserts.
A bespoke pergola was built and installed in this property.
A small area that had rotten decking was replaced with a more modern Porcelain graphite slab creating a evening chill out area.
Timber sleepers from 20 years ago were replaced with a block and render wall including a step up onto the lawn, the lawn was also replaced.
Bumpy front lawn removed and replaced with new turf after leveling, a border was created along the sides for a hedge to be planted along with a low maintenance gravel strip.
In the rear courtyard garden the moss riddled lawn was removed and replaced with a quality 20mm Quantock stone over a membrane in the central area and to one side, a timber sleeper raised bed was built to give some height and further shrub beds created to add soft planting.
Shrubby old hedge removed and ground leveled shaping the bank to allow maintenance.
Couple of old shrub beds transformed into low maintenance areas using a standard 20 mm shingle over a permeable membrane .
A little bit of TLC needed in the play area, all the rubber mats have become to far overgrown with turf meaning the soft landing was gone.
All immediate area mats removed and saved/re-used where possible, a new sub-base installed to help prevent future dips appearing the the mats re-laid and screened soil spread over and seeded.
The entrance gates were in a bad way with terrible dips, so recycled mats were used and turfed over, again this will reduce wear dramatically.
After Landscaping the last garden for some freinds, i was asked to landscape the new garden on the the recent house purchase.
Well ummm, who hid that huge 10ft deep swimming pool under the decking!!
Great project to get stuck into!
Everything was changed, two levels created allowing the best use of the land new fencing, raised borders , indian sandstone paving, artificial grass laid, shed base, storage area, and even the driveway was widened with new tarmac.
All existing cracked concrete was removed and replaced with a 20mm shingle incorporating a path and door step.
