A garden left untouched for years and a drive that needed doing. We designed it, then built the new drive, a patio, decking, a barbecue, a herb planter, a sunken trampoline and a slide. Six weeks, start to finish.

The property was short of garden space the owners could enjoy, and what was there had been left alone long enough that it was no place to relax. They wanted somewhere to sit and to have friends and family over, safe for the children as well.

What we built

The design was ours. The garden needed a complete overhaul, set out in sections that each did something different. Alongside the new drive we built a patio, installed decking, and put in a barbecue, a herb planter, a sunken trampoline and a slide. Design and build came in at six weeks.
