A fairly straight forward design, creating a usable clean Decking and Entertaining area for family use. Having enough space for tables and umbrella cover.
Create a quality finished Decking area usable from the side doors and easy access from the pathway. This was to lead into other works at a later date but let’s get the structure down to begin with, it really is the safest way of doing it.
So the original plan was to build up to the edge of the fence and have a step but was advised by us to refix the pathway to suit.
The decking was lifted to the level of the ‘new’ lawn, however the lawn hadn’t been laid yet.
The finishing touch was decking with the extra of mitred corners and correct decking lights. These being multi-coloured which was the customers choice, giving a different feel of lights at different times.
Next step was 10 ton of soil and a new lawn. Not all the lawn needed replacing. The main problem was the main drain running through the garden. So a very tricky fix. A piece of ‘fake’ lawn was later added to the top section.
Another area was the corner of the garden that was overrun with ivy and the neighbours poor fencing so a simple corner area for a barbecue and occasional seating was added.
