Past Projects 2006
Operation Francis
  
As you can see even a mess like this can be transformed in a couple of days. The shed and
deck frame is constructed. The job is completed with a nice ramp. Now its just
waiting for the shed to be delivered.
Operation McDonald
  
  
This garden is just long grass and uneven ground. After removing all the
grass a granite base is set down and compacted at the correct level. The natural
stone patio is installed. Here Dave is cutting stones into shape with a diamond
blade. The lawn is prepared and grass is laid.
Operation Allerdice
  
This small garden has a slope down to an old patio. Richard and Collin
are going to install a low wall and step, then build a natural stone path and
patio. Because of the impending hose pipe ban, the customer will wait until the
Autumn to turf.
 
As you can see if you look carefully at the bottom left picture, drainage
covers can be subtly lost in the patio using a recessed manhole cover tray. The
stones are cut and laid as they would have been if the drain had not been
there. On this occasion four different stones fell onto the drains position.
Operation Christie
A falling garden is to be brought up to level using 9 x 4 timber retainers
  
The garden slopes so the lawn isn't much use. A timber wall is constructed
make the
whole garden level. Then we imported forty tons of Consolidator and top soil
to fill the void.
  
The brick on edge footings are cut into shape and laid in cement.
  
Because the levels were changed all the existing drains had to be raised to
match.
  
Fresh topsoil and quality turf is laid. Here you can see how Greg has made
the drain vanish.
Operation Lever
 
Here we can see the how the frame for a large deck is constructed
