Hardwood decking, sandstone paving and new planting for a country garden

The short answer. A garden like this is built in layers: the deck frame and paving bases first, then the hardwood boards and sandstone, then planting and turf last. One team doing all of it means the levels, edges and materials match.

Hardwood decking, sandstone paving and new planting in a country garden

Does this sound like your garden?

You have a large garden but nowhere comfortable to sit, the lawn runs right up to the house and the space does not feel finished. You want one team to plan and build the whole thing.

The job

A larger garden beside a timber barn. We built a hardwood deck along the house, laid sandstone paving and stepping stones, and planted new beds around a fire pit.

What we did

  • Built a hardwood deck on a level timber frame
  • Laid sandstone paving and stepping stones into the lawn
  • Planted new beds with grasses and shrubs
  • Laid new turf and finished the edges

Questions people ask

Is hardwood decking better than softwood?

Hardwood is denser and lasts much longer outdoors, but costs more. It needs oiling every year or two to keep its colour.

Do you work outside West London?

Regular care is local to Northolt, but we take on larger garden projects like this anywhere in and around London.

Can you plant the beds as well as build?

Yes. We plant borders with grasses and shrubs that suit the soil and the amount of sun the garden gets.
