Complete Redesign with Paved Seating Area

Northallerton

Concept to completion: 4 weeks

The existing garden consisted of a timber decking area to the rear of the house with a lawn that occupied the rest of the space. A semi mature Acer stood in the far left corner and a timber leisure building in the far right corner.

A design was produced that covered all the points required by the client which included:

• A large seating area adjacent to the house to join and be level with the existing decking that would provide a good space to entertain a large number of friends
• Planting areas that would provide good visual interest producing year round colour and distract from the overlooking properties
• Create a paved area near the leisure building for afternoon/evening sitting and possible barbecue standing
• Construct a mowing edge to the borders and paved areas to assist in lawn maintenance and maintain the pleasing curvaceous lines of the garden

We accessed the rear garden across a newly tarmacked drive which was covered with nylon fibre and plywood sheeting. A micro digger was used with motorised track barrow for transport of materials into and out of the garden areas. A brick slot drainage channel was installed between the timber decking and paving to reduce surface water ingress to the area below the decking surface.
