Does this sound like your garden?
Your garden behind a terraced house is small, shady and narrow. Grass will not grow, it is muddy for half the year and you want it usable all year with very little work.
The job

Questions people ask
Can you work on a terraced house with no side access?
Yes. We cover the floors and carry materials and waste through the house with care.
What works best in a small shady garden?
Hard surfaces like porcelain and artificial grass, with a few shade-loving plants in pots or beds.
Does dark porcelain get hot in summer?
Dark slabs warm up in strong sun, but in a shady terraced garden this is rarely a problem.
