CWS Patios and Paving, Trawden
Decking and Planter Projects
Barrow, Whalley
A job completed in Barrow, near Whalley on a new build property.
The garden is large but a completely blank canvas with a banking to the rear. The customer wanted a feature making of this banking by making it into one long planter which is held back with wooden sleepers. I've put a membrane between the soil and sleepers to ensure longevity of the sleepers and prevent premature rotting.
The paving done by the builders was minimal so they also wanted this joining to make the most of the usable patio area of the garden. The weather was terrible throughout the whole job so I needed to put down heavy duty boards so not to cause damage to the garden area. The planter has been finished off with some new small trees.

A previous customer for who I had already completed a patio, decided that they would like some bespoke planters making. They decided on some hexagonal ones, made with oak sleepers and a large square planter, with a floating seat, to finish off the patio.

This was an add-on from another job. I had already removed the bushes to the side of the garden, which had exposed additional, useable area. They already had a small decked area, but wanted it etending, so that it was more usable.

Another job in Lancaster!
This was at a lovely, old Victorian house that is being tastefully updated inside. The decking was very rotten (yes, Adele did fall through it!) and they wanted to make the most of this lovely south-facing garden.
They had gained planning permission, as it was very different to the decking, and had a clear picture of what they wanted.
The left side of the old decking, they wanted as a small planter, but as works started, they changed that, to make it larger and more usable. The steps down from the double doors made an immense difference to their ability to access the garden, and make the most of it.
I uncovered a broken foul drain, when digging out, so this was repaired. The washing machine was plumbed under the kitchen floor and just ran down the wall into the drain. So that this didn't cause any damage to the building, I put a small piece of pipe on it, and ran it into the drain. Small things can make all the difference.
There was an old wooden shed, at the end of the kitchen extension, so that was removed and, as the patio looked so good, they asked for the paving to be carried on, into this area. It was to be covered by a new shed, but they were thinking, long-term, if this was removed, the base would be the same as the rest of the garden.

This was a new build in the next town. It was from a referral from another overhaul that I had done.
The garden was on quite a steep gradient, and the customer wasn't sure what she wanted done with her garden, except that she wanted it flat.
I did a couple of designs for her, and she decided on one, that ended up looking great. She was so pleased with it and asked me to change the paving flags up to the front door, so that the picture was complete.

This was, again, and new build where the property's boundary was against another that was significantly higher than their own. whilst I was digging out, it became apparent that the retaining wall needed attention, as it was already slipping. This was rectified, and the sleepers, I feel, look great against the garden.
