After having a contemporary extension added, the tired old garden needed a new design to bring it in line with the style and quality of the house. From design to build we created a new stunning contemporary garden with raised composite decking, porcelain paved areas, water feature and wildlife friendly contemporary pond, new lawn and planting borders and bespoke bin and log stores with green roofs

A Millboard composite deck was installed at the same height as the internal wooden flooring to bring the indoors out. A slatted timber screen was installed to give privacy to the neighbouring garden. A bespoke logstore with green roof was also built. The deck steps down to a porcelain paved path.

Smoked oak Millboard decking was used to bring the garden upto the house and bring the indoors out

The Millboard deck was chosen to compliment the internal timber floor and create a large indoor/outdoor space with the bi-fold doors open

The client was keen for a pond to encourage wildlife so we created this narrow pond with stepping stones across to the rear patio. One end is shallow to encourage wildlife and at the opposite end is the slate clad feature wall with the water blade to create a focal point at the end of the path.
