As you can see from the before photos, there was a lot of garden waste to clear and bushes and trees to be trimmed back.
After this was done, sub base hardcore was laid and compacted and slabs were laid on a wet sand and cement mix ready for the shed and the new green house

The featheredge (closeboard) fence was erected on the opposite side of the garden after more trimming of trees to clear the ground.
The posts are usually below the fenceline, but the customer requested they be left proud so as to incorporate some security wire.

The garden sloped so the fence had to step up to allow for this

Garden Before and After

As you can see the garden was a bomb site. The garden at this stage had had all the trees cut down and removed (previously you couldn’t see the bottom of the garden). We leveled the site removing all the tree roots and filling no less than four skips with waste (if you notice from […]

As you can see the garden was a bomb site. The garden at this stage had had all the trees cut down and removed (previously you couldn’t see the bottom of the garden).
We leveled the site removing all the tree roots and filling no less than four skips with waste (if you notice from one of the after photos the wall at bottom of the garden; you will see the stain of where the height of the pile of rubbish and soil used to be)

The garden was then seeded and a new fence was erected in the gap on the right-handside utilising concrete slotted posts, concrete gravel boards and featheredge fence panels)

The before photo dosent do the garden justice…it was much worse! The garden was cleared of undergrowth, levelled and inlaid with compacted sub-base hardcore.

The garden was cleared of undergrowth, levelled and inlaid with compacted sub-base hardcore.
Slabs were laid down to and around the pond on a wet sand and cement mix and a new fence utilising concrete slotted posts, concrete gravel boards and featheredge fence panels was erected.
The sides were then covered with weed suppresant membrane and covered with bark mulch
The side alleygator gate had to be taken down daily for access, but once again any problem or obsticle was overcome

Fence 3: New Bilton, Rugby

On 5th May 2010, in Building, Fencing, by Damon

This is a newly constructed featheredge fence. It is a hardy construction made out of tannalised timber which will usually outlast most fences, with a pleasant finish to any garden.

Fence 2: New Bilton, Rugby

On 5th May 2010, in Building, Fencing, by Damon

This is the standard pinelap fence utilising concrete slotted posts, concrete gravel boards and pinelap fence panels. It is far sturdier than using wooden fenceposts;(which tend after a while to snap, especially if strong crosswinds blow across your garden); and are more cost effective in the long term (you only have to replace the panels […]

Fence 1: Hillmorton, Rugby

This is a featheredge panelled fence utilising concrete slotted posts, concrete gravel boards and featheredge fence panels. The customer also requested trellis to be supplied to go on top of the panels. These panels; although more expensive than the pinelap panels; work out to be longer lasting and hardier, thus making the fence more cost […]

These panels; although more expensive than the pinelap panels; work out to be longer lasting and hardier, thus making the fence more cost effective in the long term; but all fencing is supplied and erected according to cost and taste of each individual customer

This is my dog Sask. She was with me from the age of 7 weeks until she died aged 15 in 2010. She liked to be the foreman on all my jobs and was often watching on from a comfortable spot like this one.
