Full Garden Landscaping & Paving | Stoke Ferry, Norfolk

What was done

This complete transformation in Stoke Ferry turned an outdoor space into a low-maintenance entertaining garden. The team handled all groundworks and drainage, including a 400mm sub-base and precise grading for seamless transitions between surfaces. Smooth porcelain pavers were laid and connected by Kota limestone setts, with decorative gravel and concrete edging giving crisp definition. To enclose and finish the space, brick walls and an automatic gate were installed. Premium materials were paired with careful construction throughout.

The finished look

The finished garden has a high-end, architectural feel: pale porcelain squares are separated by neat gravel-filled joints and limestone setts, creating a smart grid that wraps around the house and links to the gravel driveway. Brick walls and the automatic gate add privacy and kerb appeal, while the decorative gravel keeps maintenance low. The aerial views show a tidy, well-defined layout ready for dining and relaxing.

Complete Front To Back | Northwold, Norfolk

What was done

This was a full front-to-back transformation in Northwold. Despite frequent bad weather, we completed extensive groundworks including two new soakaways, removing the old boundary wall, and raising the lawn and cesspit chamber to a new level. We then laid around 120m² of beautiful ivory cream porcelain paving, built raised sleeper planters and retaining walls, and extended the driveway — fitting gravel grids at the entrance to stop stone migration.

The finished look

The completed garden is bright, generous and beautifully ordered, with the pale ivory porcelain flowing across multiple levels and through a striking shingle-channel inset. The timber sleeper planters add warmth and useful growing space, while the contrasting dark sett edging frames the paving against fresh lawn. Out front, the extended gravel-grid driveway gives clean, practical parking. Front and back, it’s a genuine “wow” difference for the homeowners.

Tobermore Duo Blocks

What was done

This was a complete front-and-back transformation in Banningham. The team stripped out both areas and removed around 110 tons of excess soil, installed two outbuilding bases (each with electrics run to them), replaced sections of fencing and removed four large trees. A fossil mint sandstone patio was laid around the house, linking through to a new block paved driveway finished in Tobermore Duo blocks in graphite, silver and sandstone tones. The remaining areas were given planter beds and surrounded with 20mm decorative gravel.

The finished look

The finished driveway has a smart, contemporary pattern, with the mix of graphite, silver and sandstone blocks creating subtle movement underfoot and a charcoal kerb defining a gentle curve against the gravel. The pale fossil mint sandstone keeps the surrounds bright and natural, while the gravel zones and edged planting beds tie the two new timber outbuildings into a clean, low-maintenance layout.

Extended Gravel Driveway

What was done

For this Attleborough project the team extended and reworked the front of the property into a practical, off-road parking area. As the excerpt confirms, an overgrown laurel hedge was removed at the front and replaced with smart cross-top picket fencing, opening up the space. The existing ground was dug out and levelled using a mini-digger, then a new gravel driveway was laid across the plot. A new Indian sandstone path and step were installed to the front door, and a block-paved entrance strip was set at the road edge to stop loose stone migrating onto the pavement. Fence panels and a gate were also replaced.

The finished look

The finished frontage is open, neat and welcoming, with warm honey-toned gravel contrasting against the new timber fencing and the red front door. The block-paved threshold gives a clean, defined entrance, while the sandstone path provides a firm, attractive route to the door. It is a low-maintenance, hard-wearing result that adds useful parking and kerb appeal.

Marshalls Argent Priora Permeable Driveway

What was done

We installed this permeable block paving driveway in Wymondham using Marshalls Argent Priora paving, finished with a graphite border and a curved charcoal edge that follows the line of the grass. The before photos show the original surface fully excavated, with palletised Marshalls blocks delivered on site and a tracked digger used for the groundworks. Being a permeable system, the Argent Priora blocks allow surface water to drain away through the joints into the sub-base, removing the need for separate drainage channels while meeting the regulations for new driveways.

The finished look

The Argent Priora has a light silver-grey, granite-aggregate finish that gives the drive a clean, modern face, while the darker graphite and charcoal borders frame the area and pick out its gentle curves. The sweeping charcoal edge against the lawn keeps the boundary crisp, and a recessed inspection cover blends discreetly into the paving. It is a smart, hard-wearing and free-draining driveway that lifts the whole front of the property.
