// PROJECT DETAILS
// THE BRIEF

Old concrete that needed a refresh.

Tammy's garden was dominated by a failing patio laid over a thick, poured concrete base. The raised terrace sat 600mm above the lower lawn, but the old paving was breaking up, and large drainage covers cut right across the space. It was a big footprint that was dragging down the feel of the property.

// The Concept
New Autumn Brown Indian sandstone patio in 900 by 600 slabs, with a sleeper wall raising the terrace to house height and matching sleeper steps leading down to the lawn.
// The Garden
// THE GARDEN VS. THE CONCEPT

Same angle. Same crop.

// THE SOULTUON

What we changed.

Over a few weeks we reworked the full 80-square-metre terrace. We stripped the failing slabs, prepared the concrete sub-base and laid a new surface in Autumn Brown Indian sandstone. To keep the finish clean, we fitted recessed drain covers that hide the pipework beneath the stone. To safely support the 600mm height, we built over 20 linear metres of three-tier sleeper retaining walls, with two large integrated sandstone steps leading down to the lower lawn.
