This garden in Tittensor had a large concrete shed base and sloping ground that made it hard to use. We cleared it, levelled it and rebuilt it from top to bottom into a modern, low-maintenance garden on two levels.
Stage 1: Excavation and levelling
We broke out the old concrete shed base and levelled the sloping ground. The concrete and rubble filled two 8-yard skips. No soil needed to be taken away: we levelled out the existing ground instead.
Stage 2: The retaining wall
To hold the new levels, we built a retaining wall from concrete blocks. We then reused the 600 x 900mm concrete slabs we’d taken up, fixing them to the front of the wall for extra strength and a flat face ready for cladding. Nothing went to waste.

Stage 3: The finished garden
- Composite decking: 26m² of dark brown composite decking from Dino Decking
- Porcelain patio: 20m² of light grey porcelain paving from Paving Stones Direct
- Granite wall cladding: 20m² of granite cladding from Paving Stones Direct on the retaining wall, finished with a dark grey granite coping stone
- Artificial grass: 26m² of artificial grass for a lawn that stays green all year
- Planting borders: Black Ice decorative stone borders with galvanised edging around the top level of the garden
- Venetian fencing: 28 linear metres of 8ft high Venetian slatted fencing for privacy and a clean, modern look
- Outdoor electrics: a double socket on the clad wall and a power supply run to the rear garden
