Re-rendering & Garden Renovation

This semi-detached house was in need of a slight uplift, the dated pebble-dashed render was completely stripped back to brickwork and a new modern render was applied as well as repainting, the garden was totally re-done with new indian sandstone paving as well as new turf but not before levelling the ground first allowing for a nice flat surface to walk on as well as making it much more visually appealing.

Before

To begin with the original render was stripped back and removed, the outbuilding was torn down as it was no longer needed as well as the brick walling that was on the verge of collapsing, a new footing was dug to allow for a new brick retaining wall.

  • Strip off pebble-dash render
  • Deconstruct the existing outbuilding
  • Break up existing concrete to make way for a new wall footing
  • Remove all hardcore

The Next Step

A new brick retaining wall is built further out from the original wall to allow for a larger patio area, new steps are also built outside the back door and also down to the garden itself which are clad in the same indian sandstone to match.

  • Build new brickwork retaining wall
  • Laid new indian sandstone patio
  • Built new steps and cladded
  • Timber posts installed ready for upcoming handrails

Levelling Up

Sleepers are fixed around the perimeter of the garden and set up in tiers to allow for easy access getting up and down, multiple tons of new soil is brought in to level the garden up and remove the dangerous slope of the original, a pathway is also laid in the same indian sandstone down to the bottom of the garden for easy access to a future shed.

  • Indian sandstone pathway laid
  • Sleepers leveled and fixed across the garden
  • More soil barrowed in to flatten the ground level
  • Soil leveled and graded in preparation of new turf

Goes With The Turf

New turf is laid which gives the garden the biggest transformation since we started, a new washing line holder is also installed at the customers request at a comfortable location and new fence panels are installed to close off the gap left by the old outbuilding.

  • Turf is laid and watered
  • New fence and posts installed
  • Washing line holder installed

Completion

With the tufing finished and the patio given a good jetwash the final step was to install timber balustrading and handrails to make the top area safe to accomodate for the customers impaired mobility, a new sidegate is also installed for security.

  • Install timber handrails and balustrading
  • Fitted new sidegate
  • Clean off patio
  • Removal of all waste and excess materials
