Elham - Front Garden railings installed

Finishing installation of the mild steel railings

We have today been back to Elham to install the railing to the front garden wall. As you can see from the image above, they are loking really good.

The railings have been produced from Mild Steel which has been galvanised and powder coated in black. We think they set this garden off nicely and contract wonderfully with the white painted house.

Elham - Nearly there in the front

Path and garden close to completion

As you will see from the photo above, the Yorkstone path has been completed and the gravel and compost beds have been finalised and planted.

The gravel beds have been finished with 10mm buff flint gravel and planted with Thyme and Camomile while the compost borders have had lavendar, cistus and alliums planted.

This leaves just the railings to be installed on the wall which should now happen next week.

Elham - Laying a reclaimed Yorkstone path

Pouring the bed of mortar

Works continue apace in Elham with today's focus being on the installation of the reclaimed Yorkstone pathway.

The picture above shows our site manager, Mark Prentice, pouring the mortar on which the Yorkstone will be laid.

The mortar bed will be levelled perfectly to create a beautifully even pathway once the stone is laid.

Elham - Front Garden Works

New red brick paths and rendered wall

We have now started work on a new project in Elham, Kent. With works in both the front and rear gardens this project will keep us occupied for a good three weeks or more.

The photo above shows the front garden which has been cleared of most of the pre-existing features such as railings, a gate, concrete pavers and a tree stump.

The wall has been repaired and re-rendered while a new red brick pathway has been installed. The areas within the brick pathway will become gravel beds for Thyme, Camomile and other herbs.

Lynsted - Tiling the roof of the new car barn

Installing the roofing tiles to this oak framed car barn

The team continue to make progress with the roof of the three bay car barn in Lynsted, as you can see from the picture above.

The ridge still remains to be installed but the bonnets and standard tiles are nearly all in place.

This should now be completed within the next couple of days.

Brabourne Lees - Finished Terrace

Finished Terrace and Steps

Stainless Steel Balustrade

We are very pleased to bring you these pictures of the finished terrace in Brabourne Lees, Kent.

Having extended the terrace to provide a larger space to enjoy, we have created a lovely new set of steps to the garden below, also surfaced with Raj Green Indian Sandstone. In addition to this we have installed the stainless steel balustrade to give this terrace a stunning contemporary finish.

Brabourne Lees - Cladding the terrace

Cladding the repaired, extended wall

Work is progressing well at our current project in Brabourne Lees. The picture above shows the repaired and extended terrace being clad with bricks, sourced specifically to match in with those used in the original wall.

In digging out the existing terrace, we have found that the footing laid was larger than the structure built upon it. This has allowed us to add the cladding layer which has been tied into the original wall to ensure stability.
