Patios & paving

Our latest transformation. We started by removing all existing turf and paving slabs. We then built in around 25 burn treated sleepers for edging. Next we laid 16 square metres of Black Brazilian slate which we finished with Charcoal resin compound jointer. We laid a 8x6 concrete pad for a shed to be placed. To save disturbing the existing trees we left them where they were and built up around them. We made a sleeper retaining wall and burned the posts to match the sleepers affect. We then scattered 2 ton of slate chipping around base. To finish we lost 4 ton of screened topsoil over the turf area in order to build up and level the ground and then laid 33 square metres of turf. Another amazing transformation and all finished in time for bank holiday weekend. Great effort from my team on this one.

Another uneven new build garden. This time we installed a sleeper outer edge border in order to level the garden up into sections.

The top area is a Brazilian slate mixed patio set, the middle section is a levelled turf area and to the side is a gravel area with a seating area within.
