Porcelain Patio & Artificial Grass | Spixworth

What was done

In Spixworth we replaced a tired, uneven lawn with a smart new outdoor space combining a sleek grey porcelain patio and a low-maintenance artificial grass lawn. The patio was laid in large-format light grey porcelain, finished with a striking inset border in contrasting dark paving that frames a seating zone beside the house. A neat shingle margin runs along the brickwork, and the planting beds are retained with timber sleeper edging to keep the lawn and borders clean and defined.

The finished look

The result is a crisp, contemporary garden that works hard all year round. The pale porcelain reflects the light and stays clean underfoot, while the dark border detail adds a designer touch around the dining and lounging area. With a mud-free lawn and tidy planted edges, it’s an easy-care space that’s ready to enjoy whatever the Norfolk weather — ideal for family life and entertaining.

Indian Sandstone Transformation

What was done

This was a tidy transformation for a couple in Attleborough. The team installed a new Indian sandstone patio in the corner of the garden, finished with a light shingle margin against the boundary wall. A neat artificial grass lawn was laid across the centre, edged with stone setts for a crisp, durable border, and a low raised sleeper bed was built along the fence line ready for decorative planting. A small timber deck completes the seating area.

The finished look

The result is a smart, easy-care garden that makes the most of a modest space. The riven sandstone gives a warm, natural seating area for the hanging chair and sofa, while the bright, level artificial lawn stays green and mud-free all year. The sett edging and timber sleeper bed add definition and warmth, tying the corten brick walls, deck and planting together into a relaxed, low-maintenance retreat.

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.

Bovis Estate | Wymondham, Norfolk

What was done

This estate garden in Wymondham was designed and built to blend modern and rustic finishes. The team laid a large grey porcelain patio across the lower level, set against the house with a drainage channel running along the wall. Timber sleepers were used to retain a raised level and frame planting beds, with a turf lawn laid above and a decorative shingle margin between the paving and the grass. New planting and a fresh fence line complete the landscaped scheme.

The finished look

The contrast is the heart of this garden: the cool, shiny grey porcelain plays against the warm, earthy tone of the wooden sleepers for a look that is both sleek and welcoming. The raised lawn and sleeper-edged beds add gentle structure and depth, while the generous patio gives plenty of room for seating and play. It is a visually striking yet genuinely low-maintenance space the family can enjoy easily.

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.

Ultra Modern Garden | Norwich, Norfolk

What was done

This was a front-and-back transformation in Norwich. To the rear, the team installed a curved porcelain patio finished with artificial grass for low-maintenance, year-round use, and built oak sleeper beds to provide a planting area, along with modern lighting to open up the space. At the front, the area was cleared and the ground level reduced, with further oak sleepers forming a planting bed and decorative panda ice gravel laid to lift the kerb appeal. A dark grey stone-effect stepping-stone path runs through the gravel between the raised beds.

The finished look

The finished garden has a clean, contemporary feel. Smooth grey porcelain sits neatly against the bright artificial lawn, while the warm timber sleeper beds soften the modern palette and the pale gravel keeps the front looking sharp and easy to care for. The stepping-stone path adds rhythm and structure, and recessed manhole detailing keeps the surfaces uninterrupted.

Garden Landscape | Kings Lynn, Norfolk

What was done

This full garden design and landscaping project in Kings Lynn was built around a wood-effect porcelain patio and path that runs the length of the space. The team incorporated a 3D stone-clad raised circle for the grass area as a focal point, and created a 3D-clad seated planter area topped with porcelain. Electrics and lighting were installed so the garden can be enjoyed after dark, and a sturdy, secure enclosure was built for the clients’ pet rabbits. Gravel zones with stepping stones, raised stone-clad beds and a slatted screen complete the layout.

The finished look

The finished garden is sophisticated and easy to live with. The wood-grain porcelain gives the warmth of timber decking with the durability of tile, while the textured grey 3D cladding wraps the raised circular lawn and built-in seating in a smart, modern finish. Planting softens the raised beds, the gravel areas add contrast and texture, and the integrated lighting extends the garden’s use into the evening.

Garden Decking

What was done

This was a tidy, full-garden refresh that turned a worn, patchy lawn into a usable family space. The team laid a smart raised deck across one end to create a seating area, set behind a slatted timber privacy screen, and built oak sleeper raised beds along the boundary, which were planted up with neat box topiary and ornamental grasses. The old, tired grass was lifted and replaced with fresh turf, and a gravelled strip was kept beside the existing shed. As noted by the client, low-voltage lighting and two double outdoor sockets were also installed to make the space practical after dark.

The finished look

The completed garden is clean, low-maintenance and ready to enjoy, with a crisp stripe of healthy lawn sweeping up to the deck. The warm tones of the timber sleeper beds and their structured planting frame the lawn nicely, while the screened seating area gives a private spot to relax. It is a simple, well-balanced layout that makes everyday use easy.

Porcelain Patio

What was done

In Attleborough we created a marble-style porcelain patio finished with a pendant grey block border, using a sweeping curve to separate the paved area from the rest of the garden. The before photos show the plot stripped back to bare earth and rotavated, with the ground prepared from scratch. Alongside the paving we laid new turf to give an instant lawn, and built oak sleeper retainers to hold back the neighbouring garden levels. The curved block edge follows the line of the lawn to give a clean division between hard and soft landscaping.

The finished look

The pale marble-effect porcelain has a smooth, reflective surface that brightens the space and works neatly with the home’s grey bifold and French doors. The darker block border traces the gentle curve where the paving meets the freshly laid turf, softening the transition between patio and lawn. With the new grass established and the sleeper retainers tidying the boundaries, it makes for a family-friendly garden that is easy to maintain and pleasant to relax or play in.

Front & back garden transformation

What was done

This Wymondham project was a complete front-and-back garden transformation. At the rear we removed the old concrete slabs and reworked the sloped garden, building a brick retaining wall with a step up to a smaller patio area and a new lawn behind it. We then laid a larger Indian sandstone patio with drainage and a path running round to the front of the house, with recessed grid covers set into the steps for discreet access. At the front we lifted the old lawn and replaced it with two paths and artificial grass for a low-maintenance entrance, set off against the existing block-paved and tarmac drive.

The finished look

The riven Indian sandstone has a warm, rustic tone with natural variation from slab to slab, giving the paths and patio a mellow, established feel against the red-brick house. The brick retaining wall with its banded coping neatly handles the change in level and frames the rear lawn, while the crisp triangle of artificial grass at the front sits sharply between the sandstone paths. The overall result is a tidy, practical layout that works hard front and back yet stays easy to look after.
