It is essential to have a solid foundation for all retaining walls, in this instance we poured a concrete footing. Once this had cured we had our first 10 tonne of reclaimed stone delivered. This is then hand picked and sorted into courses of the same thickness ready for laying. As the height of the banking varied at this particular site, we stepped the wall accordingly. The yorkstone flagging and tarmac were laid up to the wall giving a finished product.
An existing conservatory had been built with patio doors opening onto the garden without a step. The homeowner, an 85yr old lady, requested that we build a wide step enabling her access to the garden. This was constructed of brick risers and concrete flags.
Artificial Grass : The original surface was excavated and removed. The perimeter was secured with timber boards. 100mm of stone was compacted on top of a weed surpressing membrane topped with 50mm sand. The artificial grass was then placed on top of this and rolled out, the edges were glued and nailed to the timber boards on the perimeter, any excess trimmed off. Finally the artificial grass was blown to open the pile leaving a realistic lawn for the family and pets to use in any weather.
