Barry

This property was being managed by Peter Alan Lettings and i was asked to visit and provide a free estimate, upon arrival we were greeted by the tenant and she warned us we were in for a suprise

Barry

she opened the back door and we were faced with this hidious sight

Barry

the whole garden was about 4ft high with grass and the dreaded horse tail weed. horse tail shares the same reputation as japanese knotweed as it also is a nightmare to get rid of. we knew we were in for a hard graft.

Barry

after two hard days our effort was rewarded with a cleared area which we were prepping ready to lay turf

Barry

we were laying a top quality turf from herefordshire and good quality topsoil locally sourced in caerphilly.

Barry

the end product truly was something to be proud of we had done it.

Barry

and now each day when the family would return from school and work going out the garden was no longer a dreaded time and they had all summer to enjoy it

Caegarw
Mountain ash

in caegarw i was asked by a close friend to turn his "building site garden" into a usable outdoor space for the family being a friend i said no problem.

Caegarw
Mountain ash

ther was 50sq meters of natural stone slabbing to be done

Caegarw
Mountain ash

the garden was an "L shape" and we had to come off the french doors without using a step down

Caegarw
Mountain ash

there was also a small side entrance that needed completing

Caegarw
Mountain ash

after a couple of days the slabs were down

Caegarw
Mountain ash

that old stone and mortar wall was hidden with some new feathedge fencing which set off the natural stone

Caegarw
Mountain ash

the intergration with the french doors was complete and was a smart touch to a superb job

Caegarw
Mountain ash

with the side entrance now slabbed the back garden was finally complete at last.....

Newtown Mountain ash

in newtown the residents at this home were experiencing damp due to blown render on the gable end. we hacked off the bad render and gave the gable end a waterproof scratch coat

Newtown Mountain ash

when the scratch coat had dried it was ready for the finish coat of pebble dash

Newtown Mountain ash

due to the weather we protected the walls with plastik sheeting incase we had any down pours

Newtown Mountain ash

applying the top coat was going well and at this rate we would be finished soon

Newtown Mountain ash

after a few hours of grafting we had completed the dashimg and all that was left to do was to drop the scaffolding

Newtown Mountain ash

and as well as looking good its completely water tight once again

Pontardullais

Pontardullais was a typical garden overhaul. we had to install a wrap-around patio around 60sq meters over a large grassed area and provide a pathway to the bottom of the garden for access to the shed . with a circle patio feature mid-way to support the bird bath

Pontardullais

all the grass needed to be removed and the ground prepared for the installation of the huge patio

Pontardullais

the pathway will divide the rest of the lawn area in half and provide all weather access to the garden shed some way away

Pontardullais

this huge lawn was soon to become a manageable gaden of many uses

Pontardullais

the fitting of the wrap around patio took some time with hundreds of slabs to be expertly laid

Pontardullais

the finish product was smart stylish and modern

Pontardullais

this was now a large space which would catch the sun all afternoon

Pontardullais

and truly made into a space all the family can enjoy

Pontardullais

the steps were fitted for access from the existing patio down onto the new large patio area

Pontardullais

the gravel pathway leading from the new patio area down to the garden shed served a dual purpose

Pontardullais

this large lawn now divided into two smaller manageable pieces

Pontardullais

and the circle patio feature was soon to home the bird bath

Rhiwbina Cardiff

Rhiwbina was a challenging project at the early stages of the founding of the company. there was a large back garden that i was asked to turn into a child friendly area but also a place where friends and family could be entertained.

Rhiwbina

the dying lawn was an awful sight and you can see the remains of the concrete path removed prior to our arrival. in the overgrown shrubs needed some desperate attention

Rhiwbina

the children made do with what they had but thier farter had a few changes in mind....

Rhiwbina

this unstable old brick wall would rock in the wind and posed a real safety threat for the family

Rhiwbina

we installed a medium sized natural stone patio area onto the back of the house where the family entered the garden.

Rhiwbina

and put in a pathway leading to the side entrance

Rhiwbina

the tired neglected shrubs got a re-vamp and looked much smarter in this new stylish garden

Rhiwbina

the brand new lawn installed gave the garden some soft play area for the children and adults to enjoy

Rhiwbina

and a raised decking area was fitted and provided an area where the family could entertain friends and family throughout the year

Rhiwbina

with that unsafe brick wall now gone there was three fence panels fitted giving the family peace of mind whenever they were using their brand new outdoor living space created by the oddjobs gang
