This project involved a complete overhaul of the existing garden, removing the hedge and plant-dominated landscape. A fresh lawn was laid, framed by porcelain planks that add a sharp, refined finish to the garden. Two raised sleeper beds were installed for new planting, offering structure and versatility. Six photinia trees were planted, introducing lush greenery, while some of the original plants were reused in the new beds, maintaining a connection to the garden's past.

In this transformation, an existing garage was removed to make space for a custom-built outdoor kitchen, offering a sophisticated entertainment hub. A timber pergola was installed for dry seating year-round, complemented by up-and-down lights and spike lights for atmospheric garden illumination.

The existing two-tier garden was completely restructured by lowering the garden and installing retaining walls to optimise the space. An extended porcelain patio provides a larger, more functional outdoor living area, while retaining walls clad in mixed grey slate-effect panels add a stylish contrast.
