Laying 80m2 grass in January does feel early but it can be a great time to lay turf. The wetter weather helps the grass to focus naturally on establishing the roots. The old grass was rutted and full of weeds. The transformation was great and the client is happy with the result.
Preparation
FInished this job in November. It was a major transformation from what was existing.A new sandstone patio area and a renovated deck to complement the Catio. A great example of transforming an underused area into an area for socialising.
Before
New client moving from New Zealand requested a patio and raised bed for their new house in Duloch. Ready for planting and enjoying. A great mix of function and style, creating the perfect outdoor space. Looking forward to following its progress.
The clean slate
After
An existing client wanted to get their older paths removed and replaced with new Kandla grey sandstone. The work took just over a week to complete. The result was a clean and sharp-looking pathway with no grass being dragged into the house. As a result of the colour and finish they asked for a patio at the back.
Before
After
Patio
The client wanted to recycle concrete slabs to create a small patio and work area. Secondly the steps leading from the side of the house were considered unsuitable for gaining access to the garden. The solution was to build a landing area to transition from the side of the house into the garden. The final steps will be to apply the jointing between the slabs and cladding
The client wanted a low-maintenance garden and patio. The existing slabs were upcycled and repositioned in the corner. Over 240 charcoal grey slabs were placed. A last minute discovery of the tree roots close to the surface resulted in a step being added around the base of the tree. Stone cobbles were used to break up the garden in sections.
This was a patio for the client to enjoy the non-existent summer. It was a circular pack that took a couple of days to build and was a pack from B & Q
The client has an attractive rockery but was plagued with weeds and overrun with Aquilega and unwanted plants. The solution was to remove the unwanted plants and weeds, put down membrane where appropriate and cover with granite gravel from CED stone .
The client has a puppy and needed a more permanent solution to using pallets and plastic mesh. Solution was to put in timber fencing with a 3m field gate.
Sometimes thing happen at short notice and you just gotta have a 3x5m shed base. Fortunately I had a spare slot to help out a friends request for a base for his new shed. After 1.5tonnes of concrete and lots of cold drinks the base was completed before the installers came.
