Before

This garden started with a tired, patchy lawn, an old unused brick pond feature that needed removing, and no real outdoor living space to speak of. It’s a common starting point for many of the gardens we transform across Braintree, Shalford, the Notleys, Coggeshall and Sible Hedingham.

The Transformation

Our team got to work clearing the site, removing the old pond feature, and building a brand new deck and groundwork for the patio beyond. Every project starts with solid preparation — proper levelling, drainage and a secure sub-base — to make sure the finished result lasts.

After

The finished garden now features a spacious porcelain patio, a stylish pergola with comfortable seating, and a new composite deck complete with a rope handrail for a distinctive finishing touch. It’s a complete transformation from bare lawn to a genuine outdoor living space the whole family can enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a full garden makeover take? Most full garden transformations, including patios, decking and pergolas, take between one and three weeks depending on the scope of work and ground conditions. We’ll always give you a clear timeframe before work begins.

Do you offer free quotes for garden makeovers? Yes, we provide free, no-obligation quotes for every project, whether it’s a single feature like a new patio or a complete garden transformation like this one.

What’s included in a garden makeover like this? This project included site clearance, groundworks, a new composite deck with handrail, a porcelain patio, and a pergola seating area — but every garden makeover is tailored to the space and what the customer wants to achieve.

Can you work with an existing garden layout? Often, yes — but where features like an old pond or a worn-out lawn are holding a garden back, we’ll usually recommend removing them so the new design can start with a clean slate.
