These customers in Ingleby Barwick wanted a large deck to pep up their garden and provide an attractive outdoor space to entertain.
The lawn needed levelling in readiness for a two section frame to be built for the large L- shaped deck.
An overgrown flower bed was transformed into a stone paved mini-patio / barbecue area and the wall next to the decking was repaired, missing flags replaced and steps built up to the deck.
The garden is given a new dimension with this large deck set into a remodelled patio and walls. Perfect for enjoying the sun and family entertaining

- The starting point. A large lawn with an old paved path was unresolved and didn’t meet the owners needs

- Always start with a good plan. The area was measured and a detailed plan for both the frame and the boards was drawn up

- The main deck now fully laid, the perimeters needed to be faced and finished
-
- Missing flags on the patio were replaced and a step added
-
- Missing sections of the wall were rebuilt and capped off
-
- The finished deck with garden furniture in place. Just waiting for a coat of stain and new turf in the missing area were the old path was

- This bed with a poorly sited fast drowning shrub was to be transformed into a barbecue area
-
- The old flower bed dug out and levelled ready for paving
-
- Now a neat barbecue area adjoining the deck
-
- The final result a large and versatile outdoor entertaining area.
