Synthetic Turf

Synthetic Turf

Synthetic Turfing job, which I think is one of the best looking low maintenance gardens we did in 2016. After installing the families small corner deck, we were asked to lay the synthetic turf lawn for the customer.

Might I say that these types of garden makeovers are great if looking for the easy garden option with little care needed to keep the lawn green for years to come.

Where The Idea Came From

The idea for this garden were totally that of the owner and customer Kim, who was quite picky on what she wanted from her garden. We settled on the design for the decking and sleeper beds, which we completed in two days before moving on to the turfing.

While this is easy to care for, it is the way that you lay the grass that really matters, as this sets the stage for how it will look for years to come. You cannot just lay this on top of the old grass, it has to be laid in the right manner.

The Steps We Took

First you must strip back the old garden sod or grass and make the area deep enough to take 75-100mm of small crusher run stone for solid base. After this has been totally compacted you then need to install weed membrane, so that weeds will not come through nice new synthetic lawn.

After which in goes the sand which makes it softer to walk on while give perfectly flat base, the lawn will sit on. you also need to installed grips around the edge which can be either steel or treated timber in this case treated timber.

When all these steps are completed, you should lay out the grass and get into potion, to glue the edges together with super strong glue this takes a bit of experience which we have. After everything is said and done the customer was very happy with the outcome and so are we.

6ft Close Board Fence

Fencing

Project Challenges

Erecting 20 meters of fence in 2 days of none stop work. As far as fences go this one was pretty straight forward, the same old story rip down the old fence and install new.

The only difference between this and other fencing projects, is the fact that next door had built his garden up 2 feet against the old fence. That was the challenge we faced, how not to have next doors garden touch the new fence…?

How We Solved Them

We solved this with placing slabs between the garden and new fence stabilising the earth, while also stopping it touch the new fence. This is not the ideal situation to erect a new fence but we managed it with a little fuss.

The fenced area now looks great and the customer is over the moon with there new fenced garden. David is also fit and healthy again, he will be back at work soon to help build all the new fencing orders we have.

Customers Review

Bespoke Joinery

Bespoke Joinery

This hot tub is one of my favourite joinery builds from last year, the reason being it was fun and unique. I had never done one of these before so Allan who is a master joiner and excellent in every aspect of joinery led the way.

What was really enjoyable is that it was total free hand joinery with no plans to speak of, just the tools and the hot tub. The customer explained what they were looking for and that was it.

 How It Was Built

The materials we used for the framing was 2×2 framing and decking boards for the side’s and lid, also we used some dressed 4×2 for the lid holding frame. We started with taking measurements from the tub and got on with cutting the timber to frame the tub.

Once we had the frame built we cut the decking boards for the sides of the frame and designed the layout of the boards around the edging. As the hot tub was going to be removed from the wooden shell in the winter months, we created a removable side and in doing so found another really great use for the structure.

If the hot tub is removed the area space inside the frame can now be used as a bar area or barbecue food serving station. The hight was perfect for this type of use and why not get two benefits for the price of one, happy days.

How It Looks

The end result is very impressive for the actual cost involved in purchasing the hot tub and building the frame. It was finished with a couple of coats of clear coat wood preserver and rope handles so that the lidd can be removed easily by 2 people.

If you keep in mind that these hot tubs can be purchased second hand for half the price than when new it makes it even more attractive
