A new patio for a sloped back garden in Bramhope, with access so tight that every load of material went in and out by barrow, down the slope to the front of the house.

The owners wanted the look of the garden refreshed and a patio they could sit out on and have friends round to in summer.

What we built

The back garden sloped and access was limited, so every load went in and out by barrow, down the slope to the front. To level it we dug out 37 tons of soil and put 10 ton of hardcore back in. The paving is 900 by 600 single size pavers in Maple. Lights went into the walls for the evenings.
