About The Job

Our new clients got in touch with us not to do a makeover of the garden but to gently give the backyard a fresh look. Their garden was lovely; however it needed just a little touch from our professional gardeners in order to look even lovelier.

Steps for a job well done

main jobs done in the garden

Step 1. Old fence removal. The first thing that our landscapers did was to remove the old fence and panels in order to be able to install the wooden fence. The decision of having a wooden fence is not coincidental as it adds privacy and classic style to any outdoor space.

Step 2. Wooden fence installation. The job required 10 fence panels, 12 posts and 10 gravel boards to be installed. The most important thing was to determine spacing for the fence posts. Our gardeners had to decide how far apart to set the fence posts. The corner posts were set first. To align all of the posts in between they had stretch a line from each corner post to work as their guide. Once this was done, our gardeners made sure that about 1/3 of each post was buried in the ground in order to endure heavy weight and high winds.

Step 3. Bottom and top rail installation. Laying the gravel was the final touch. After spreading the gravel the hardworking gardeners made sure it was leveled and spread evenly. After we finished with the work, the client checked everything carefully and was amazed of the results.


Step 4. Garden Tidy Up. In order to be able to work easier and faster, the gardeners tidied up the garden. There were a few shrubs and bushes that needed to be trimmed back and cut into shape. Our clients have a beautiful rose bush which we pruned gently in order to grow healthier. Small trees and shrubs were completely removed in order to make space for the other plants to grow and blossom.

Step 5. Slab Repair. Near the garden entrance was a slab which was not fixed properly and was moving around every time someone stepped on it. That is why our clients wanted us to include in the service a single slab to be repaired and we did, however it also needed to be raised with one level in order to fit perfectly with the entrance and the garden.

Step 6. Slabs Repointing. One of the last things that we have done in this garden was to fill the gaps between the tiles. That gave an overall better look on the outside patio and made it look like freshly laid again.

The Final Look

The final touch here was to paint the shed and the fence. Our team came prepared with all materials and tools to perform the whole project. They have left the garden with no rubbish from the job. The garden was neat and tidied up and everything was accomplished for just 1 day!

To restore level, stable paving, we combine proven handwork with modern equipment, ensuring precise alignment, strong joints, and durable finishes. On site, we run through a systematic workflow. We begin with a thorough inspection of the sub-base to identify soft spots, root intrusion, or poor compaction that caused movement. We then mark the area with laser levels and string lines to lock in the exact pattern before lifting any slabs. Our crew uses a plate compactor to firm the sub-base, a grinder to clean old joints, and a rubber mallet to seat each slab without cracking edges. For trimming, we rely on a diamond blade cutter and a portable saw, ensuring equal gaps and straight edges. Re-laying involves selecting appropriate slabs and flexible adhesives that suit footfall and weather. We re-point and re-pack joints with polymeric sand for long-term stability, or epoxy resins in load-bearing locations. We also re-create correct falls and install drainage improvements if needed. Edge restraints are reapplied to prevent lateral movement. Throughout the project, we prioritise low-toxicity products and dust-control measures, and we minimize waste with careful cutting. Our team carries out quality checks on alignment, level, and joint width before handing back the site. In Hyde Park and along Fulham Road we've completed projects where careful planning and on-site measurements saved landscaping and driveways from further movement. With over 24 years of experience in gardening services, our DBS-checked team shares before-and-after photos and a workmanship guarantee for your peace of mind.
