What we do
A clear plan for how your garden should look, feel and work—from first ideas to the completed space.
Precisely laid porcelain, sandstone and natural stone patios with careful preparation and clean finishing.
Fresh turf, practical borders and planting schemes that bring structure, colour and life to the garden.
Fencing, gates, sleeper beds and bespoke timber details designed to sit naturally within the space.
Dependable groundwork, drainage and hard landscaping for practical, long-lasting outdoor areas.
Currently on site
Follow our current landscaping projects as they develop, from the first stages through to the finished result.

In progress
We’re completing a new block-paved driveway to create a smart, durable and practical entrance to the property. Alongside the driveway, we’ve designed a dedicated pedestrian pathway and new lawn area, clearly separating the landscaped space from vehicle parking.
In progress
We’re creating an expansive outdoor living area using nearly 100 square metres of sandstone-effect beige porcelain paving. The warm, natural tones will provide the character of sandstone with the clean finish and durability of porcelain.

Project 01Great Glen, Leicestershire
This complete garden redesign transformed the existing outdoor space with contemporary grey porcelain paving and freshly laid turf. New pathways were installed around the property, creating a cleaner and more practical route through the garden. The main patio was finished with a smooth, sweeping curved edge, allowing the paving to flow naturally into the new lawn.
The combination of crisp porcelain, carefully shaped detailing and fresh turf created a smart, balanced garden that feels both modern and welcoming.







Project 02Evington, Leicester
This small front garden was transformed into a smart, low-maintenance porcelain patio that makes much better use of the available space. The grey porcelain was carefully laid around the shape of the property, with precise cuts following the entrance, exterior walls and narrow side passage.
Although compact, this project shows how thoughtful design and skilled workmanship can completely transform even the smallest outdoor space.




Project 03Wigston, Leicester
This patio was completely restored using the customer’s existing concrete slabs. The slabs were carefully lifted, cleaned and re-laid on a properly levelled base, giving the area a much neater and more stable finish.
A fresh step was also constructed outside the patio doors, improving access and completing the renewed space. This project shows how existing materials can be reused effectively to transform a tired, uneven patio without replacing everything.

Project 04Quorn, Leicestershire
This complete garden redesign transformed an unfinished outdoor space into a modern, inviting garden built for both relaxing and entertaining. Fresh turf created a generous central lawn, surrounded by bespoke Venetian-style fencing and matching slatted planters.
An integrated seating area was incorporated between the planters, creating a comfortable feature space that complements the garden’s clean and cohesive design.






Project 05Loughborough, Leicestershire
This previously unused section of the garden was transformed into a smart and practical porcelain patio. Dark grey porcelain paving was laid in a varied pattern, creating a contemporary finish that complements the surrounding property. Timber edging and a decorative stone border provide a crisp boundary and complete the area neatly.


Project 06Thurnby, Leicester
This large, disused pond was transformed into a peaceful gravel feature area designed for relaxing and enjoying the surrounding nature. Warm-toned gravel was combined with natural slate stepping stones to create an informal route through the space.
A traditional bird bath provides a central focal point, while a timber bench offers a quiet place to sit and enjoy the established woodland surroundings.


Project 07New Lubbesthorpe, Leicester
This overgrown and underused garden was completely redesigned to create a clean, practical outdoor space with a balanced combination of hard landscaping and greenery. Natural stone paving was installed around a freshly laid central lawn, providing a generous area for seating, entertaining and everyday use.
Contrasting block edging creates a crisp border around the turf, while decorative gravel neatly finishes the perimeter of the garden.


Project 08Aylestone, Leicester
This spacious courtyard was transformed with natural sandstone paving, creating a welcoming and practical area that complements the character of the surrounding property. Sandstone slabs in a mixture of sizes and natural tones were laid in a traditional pattern, bringing warmth, texture and variation to the finished patio.
The paving was carefully fitted around the buildings and existing garden features, with decorative gravel borders providing a clean finishing detail.



Project 09Oadby, Leicester
This tired gravel driveway was redesigned to create a cleaner, brighter and more clearly defined entrance to the property. Fresh light-coloured gravel provides a smart and practical parking surface, framed by contrasting charcoal block edging.
The carefully formed curved border follows the existing lawn, creating a softer transition between the driveway and garden while giving the entire frontage a neat, cohesive finish.


Project 10Thurmaston, Leicester
This garden was redesigned with natural sandstone paving and freshly laid turf, creating a balanced outdoor space with plenty of room for relaxing and entertaining. The mixed-size sandstone slabs bring natural colour and texture to the garden, forming a generous main patio and continuing neatly around the side of the property.
Light decorative gravel borders provide a clean finish, while the fresh central lawn softens the hard landscaping and gives the completed garden a welcoming appearance.



Project 11 · A personal favouriteGroby, Leicester
This complete garden redesign transformed a tired and overgrown space into a distinctive garden combining contemporary landscaping with natural features. A smooth, light porcelain patio and freshly laid lawn provide a clean foundation for the design.
Large porcelain stepping stones set within blue ice gravel create a striking pathway towards a timber pergola and peaceful seating area. A newly created pond brings movement and wildlife interest, while the dedicated log garden feature introduces texture, planting opportunities and a natural woodland character.








Project 12Loughborough, Leicestershire
This family garden was redesigned to combine a clean contemporary finish with practical spaces for gardening, relaxing and outdoor activity. Grey porcelain paving creates a spacious patio and a neat pathway around the property, while freshly laid turf provides a generous central lawn.
A custom gymnastics bar set was securely incorporated into the garden, and two substantial raised sleeper beds complete the design with plenty of room for flowers, vegetables or seasonal planting.





Project 13Beaumont Leys, Leicester
This outdoor space was transformed into a modern, private and low-maintenance porcelain patio. Large-format grey porcelain tiles create a clean and spacious surface, neatly finished with decorative gravel borders.
Composite fencing and a matching gate provide a smart, durable boundary, while a bespoke timber frame was constructed ready for the customer’s hammock swing.


Project 14Coalville, Leicestershire
This expansive courtyard was transformed from a neglected and uneven area into a bright, welcoming space finished with golden self-binding gravel. The warm natural colouring complements the surrounding property and established greenery, while the compacted surface creates a smooth, durable and practical finish.
Existing stone edging was carefully retained, preserving the character of the landscape while clearly defining the newly restored area.



Project 15Hinckley, Leicestershire
This light porcelain patio was designed as a welcoming outdoor space where friends and family can gather, dine and make lasting memories. The generous layout provides room for both relaxed lounge seating and a separate dining area, creating an easy, sociable setting for everything from quiet afternoons to summer get-togethers.
Crisp porcelain paving, a bright decorative stone border and the soft lawn edge give the finished space a clean, contemporary look while keeping it warm and inviting.


Project 16Humberstone, Leicester
This once-overgrown garden was transformed into a bright, welcoming outdoor retreat designed to make the most of every inch. A fresh lawn brings softness and colour, while the light porcelain patio creates a comfortable place for dining, relaxing and enjoying cosy evenings or warm summer days.
Porcelain stepping stones form a neat route across the lawn to the new garden shed, and a painted sleeper bed adds a simple planted feature that ties the whole space together.
