Consultation and Planning:

 

The customer sought advice and guidance on the garden redesign, emphasising the need for raised flower beds and increased sunlight.

An initial quote was provided and accepted, leading to the development of a comprehensive plan for the garden layout, including the size and positioning of the raised flower beds.

Close collaboration with the client ensured that their preferences were incorporated into the design while minimising project delays.

Marking and Preparation:

 

The project commenced with marking out the designated area to demonstrate the dimensions of the new patio and provide the client with a full-scale representation of the final outcome.

The construction of sleepers for the raised beds and steps was undertaken, accompanied by the removal of old soil, weeds, and grass.

Construction and Landscaping:

 

High-quality topsoil was brought in and carefully leveled to create a suitable foundation for the raised flower beds and grass area.

The chosen patio slabs, silver gray Indian sandstone in a single size, were meticulously laid, ensuring accessibility to the manhole cover and drain. A precise cutout was made to accommodate a tree.

In areas where the ground was uneven, the slabs were skillfully cut at varying angles to match the different levels and prevent any instability.
