Terraced Garden in Sandgate - update 2

Just thought we would give you a couple of images of works during the second week.

As you can see, the garden has now been levelled and the terrace lined with a new treated sleeper wall which will be clad in Balau hardwood in the second stage of works at this premises.

The frames and bases are in place (at the far end of the top picture) for some play equipment and a sand pit.

The lower picture shows a newly installed terraced rockery around a small terrace circle.

Ragstone steps have been placed to lead down from the terrace to the circle.

Some planting has been put in place and you can clearly now see the garden taking shape.

The remaining works include the turfing of the lawn, building and installation of the play equipment, installation of Chelsea Screens and completion of the terrace circle. We will provide images of the finished first stage shortly so come back soon!

Terraced Garden in Sandgate - update 1

Works are now nicely underway at our job in Sandgate so I thought I would show you a couple of pictures of us making a mess!

The initial stages of works are the worst for a client as we have to deconstruct what is already in place.

This phase is, fortunately, very short lived and it is not long until you can see the structure of the new garden taking shape.

The top image shows our project manager, Mark, using the digger to turn over the existing lawn to expose the sides of the terrace and to get down to the level of the planned lawn.

The second picture shows two members of the Orchard Priory team, Matt H and Tom, starting to create the new lawn level.

Further updates soon!

Terraced Garden in Sandgate

We have recently started work on a terraced garden for a domestic customer in Sandgate, Kent.

The pictures to the left show the garden prior to the commencement of works.

As you can see this is a very sloped space, the height difference between the terrace around the house and the bottom corner of the garden is actually over 6 metres.

Our remit for this garden is to create a usable, family space which is also interesting and inviting to children.

We intend to create a larger lawn area by filling in the lowest section of the existing garden (which can be seen on the right of the second picture).

Look back soon for some 'work in progress' pictures.
