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.

Rustic Pond Area & Sandstone Patio | Attleborough, Norfolk

What was done

This complete garden overhaul in Attleborough started from a tired lawn and old pond, and was rebuilt into a relaxed, characterful space. The team laid a new Raj blend Indian sandstone patio, shaping it around sweeping lawns and a newly enlarged pond fitted with armoured electrics. The pond was finished with a generous pebble surround and block-paved edging to the grass. New fencing was installed along the side using concrete posts and concrete gravel boards with close-board panels, and fresh turf completed the planted areas.

The finished look

The finished garden has a warm, rustic feel: the riven sandstone shows natural variation in tone that deepens beautifully when wet, while the curving lawns and pebble-ringed pond give the layout a soft, organic flow. Block-edged turf and crisp new fencing tie the space together, and the aerial views show how the patio, lawns and water feature work as one cohesive design. Browse more of our garden landscaping.

Naturally Beautiful Limestone Patio

What was done

Over a few weekends our team laid a natural limestone patio and a connecting pathway running down the side of the property to a new timber gate. The work involved excavating and preparing the ground, with a mini digger used on site to dig out and level the area before the slabs were set. The pale natural stone was laid with neat, deliberate straight edges, and a matching path links the rear patio area to the side passage between the brick walls. A solid timber gate was fitted to close off the side access.

The finished look

The completed patio sits flush against the bi-fold doors and the bungalow’s brickwork, giving a clean, usable surface right outside the living space. As the client notes, limestone shifts character with the weather, turning a deep near-black when wet and a lighter shade when dry, so no two slabs look quite the same. The straight-edged layout gives a tidy, contemporary frame to the garden, and the new timber gate adds privacy and a warm natural contrast to the cool stone.

Complete Overhall | Wymondham, Norfolk

What was done

This was a full front-and-back modernisation in Wymondham. At the front, the team fully excavated the old driveway, corrected the drainage, then laid 350mm of permeable Type 1 sub-base before installing Marshalls block paving with a double charcoal border. Brick entrance walls and pillars were built to footings, with data and power cabling run to the garage for lighting and automatic sliding gates. At the rear, a large retaining wall was built and rendered for a sleek, contemporary finish, and a two-tier grey porcelain patio was laid with a black porcelain border for contrast and drainage channels run along the wall. App-controlled lighting was also installed.

The finished look

The result is a smart, cohesive home exterior. The curved brick entrance walls frame a neat block-paved driveway that sits flush and clean, while the rear garden steps elegantly between two levels of pale grey porcelain, with dark steps and a black border drawing crisp lines against the rendered walls. It is a modern, low-maintenance space that opens straight out to the lawn beyond.

Indian Sandstone & Tidy Up | Burnham Market, Norfolk

What was done

This Burnham Market garden was a genuine before-and-after. The old, weathered slabs were lifted and replaced with new Indian sandstone paving that wraps around the house, linking the front door across to a seating area at the rear. The team installed a new soakaway to manage drainage, laid fresh turf across the lawn, put up new fencing, and created a new access point into the garden, removing some trees to open up the space.

The finished look

The finished garden feels open, neat and well-connected. The multi-size Indian sandstone, with its warm browns and greys, looks especially rich when wet and gives a generous, walk-around path that ties the whole plot together. The striped new lawn sits crisply against the paving, and the fresh timber fencing frames the space cleanly. It is a practical, attractive garden that flows easily from front to back.

Large Raj Green Sandstone Patio

What was done

This project was a complete garden overhaul. The team began with full groundworks, bringing in a mini digger to strip out the old surface and prepare the levels before laying a large Raj Green Indian sandstone patio. The multi-tone sandstone runs around the rear of the house and steps down to a lower terrace, with the change in level framed by oak sleeper retainers that double as a raised flower bed. Brand-new fencing was installed to the boundary, and the remaining ground was prepared and laid to fresh turf.

The finished look

The finished garden is warm and inviting, with the naturally varied Raj Green sandstone showing rich pinks, golds and greys that deepen when wet. The split-level layout creates clear zones, the timber sleepers add an earthy contrast to the stone, and the new lawn and crisp fence line give the whole space a tidy, well-defined finish ready for everyday use and entertaining.

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.
