A garden transformation in Cardiff
Posted on: July 19, 2009 by normanmaitland posted in News
Whilst the bulk of our work centres on large commercial or public sector contracts we occasionally undertake domestic projects which present particular challenges of scale or complexity. This project for a private client in Cardiff combined the need for extensive hard landscaping (including the construction of two retaining walls) as well as soft landscaping.
Before work could commence large tree stumps had to be removed from the rear garden and a retaining wall built with 1.8m closeboard fencing installed on top. We then graded and spread soil to create the lawn and laid turf. We also supplied and installed soil to create borders around the lawn.
More hard landscaping ensued with the construction of a patio with steps into the house and a patio circle and pathway up to the patio itself. We installed a courtyard area to the side of the house, including building another retaining wall to raise the level of the patio. The work was rounded off with the supply and installation of wrought iron gates and trimming and shaping hedges on site.
The end result is the kind of outdoor room which many householders now look for from their garden. All our client needs now is the weather to enjoy it!
