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.
Its been a while coming but I am now the proud owner of a new logo. It combines the profile of K2 and emphasises the Alpine plant aesthetic. The font is taken from an old Alpine Plant book from the 1920’s. Thanks to Maxwell Weaver for creating the design.
The client wants a 3x4m deck.
As always with hard landscaping, ninety percent of the work is hidden.
This was a smaller job to clean up the driveway edge and create a clean edge around the grass.
The customer was having problems with their sandstone patio. An investigation revealed a collapse in the sub base. The ground was not compacted and the the ‘5 dab’ technique reared its head. There was no run on the patio, resulting in the rainwater following into the middle of the surface. The task was to lift, clean and reuse the existing stone. Remove the earth , lay and compact type 1 and then lay the sandstone on a bed of mortar.
