Another enjoyable project completed in Ely ✅

The existing patio was broken out and recycled as part of the new sub-base, with additional MOT Type 1 imported to build up the new levels and create a solid foundation.

Concrete footings were then excavated and poured to support a border/steps of tumbled grey tumbled walling, creating split levels for the hot tub and seating area. The project was finished with Global Stone Jewell Ashen porcelain paving, giving the garden a clean, modern finish.

A fencing project completed last week☀️

The existing boundary fencing at the front and rear of the property had deteriorated over time, with several broken panels and rotted posts.

We removed the old fencing and installed new Jacksons Fencing in the original positions, providing a durable, high-quality replacement while giving the property a much cleaner appearance.

At the beginning of the year, we undertook the refurbishment of an old wildlife pond. Before work began, the fish, newts, and snails were carefully removed and relocated to a temporary holding tank. Water lilies and other aquatic plants were also lifted and stored while the pond was drained.

Once drained, years of accumulated silt and debris were removed from the pond, helping to improve water quality and create a healthier environment for wildlife. The marginal plants and grass sections were then excavated and set aside ready for replanting.

The existing liner and underlay were cleaned and reused as the new underlay before a new pond liner was installed.

Once complete, the pond was refilled to its finished level and the aquatic and marginal plants were returned to their original positions. Finally, the fish, newts, and snails were safely released back into their newly restored habitat.

Another enjoyable project completed last week in Denston, near Stradishall ✅

The existing concrete pathway was broken up, crushed, and re used as part of the hardcore base, helping to reduce waste and skip cost.

A new border was installed using tumbled kerbs and finished with Raj sandstone paving slabs forming a new pathway. The same design was then mirrored on the new rear patio and steps, creating a seamless finish throughout the outdoor space.

We recently completed a project for West Suffolk Council involving the relocation and restoration of the historic ‘Gateway’ sign, originally gifted to Haverhill by its twin town in Germany in 1983.

The Gateway was carefully removed and taken away for refurbishment, where rotten timbers were replaced, the structure was fully sanded back, and a new protective treatment was applied to restore its appearance and longevity.

The existing plinth and surrounding area were then demolished and cleared from site. New topsoil was imported and the area was prepared and seeded.

The restored Gateway has now been relocated to the centre of Jubilee Plaza. The structure was reassembled on a newly constructed concrete foundation, with a new plinth built using grey and charcoal tumbled blocks. Thank you to Bruce, Elaine,David and rest of west Suffolk council for the opportunity.

A few turfing jobs we’ve completed over the last couple of weeks ✅

All areas were prepared with additional topsoil and cultivated to ensure a high-quality finish. We also installed tumbled blocks on one project to form a mowing strip and make future maintenance easier.

A front garden project we completed near Haughley ✅ The old paving and retaining wall was removed along with the planting.

The existing wall was reduced in height to create the feeling of openess.

A new retaining wall was constructed and rendered along with the reduced original wall and finished with a one coat silicone render.

The old paving area has additional drainage installed, new steps constructed with tumbled walling and finished with porcelain paving slabs.

Today we completed a job in Great Sampford to replace a failed timber retaining structure. The old sleepers and posts were removed, galvanised RSJs were concreted into place, and new oak sleepers were installed with a damp-proof membrane.

A perforated pipe and shingle were added for drainage, and the job was finished with new topsoil and freshly laid turf.
