This is a job we did for a customer in Hillmorton, Rugby. They had an old untidy garden wall which needed some work to improve its appearance. They also wanted the step up onto the raised patio to be replaced with two steps to make it safer and the paving slabs jet-washed.

We rendered the wall and added coping stones, built new steps and jet-washed the paving. You can see the results for yourself.

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)
