The Project
This garden had reached the point where patching things up was no longer worth it. The old slabs were cracked and uneven, the borders had grown over, and the space was doing nothing for the house.
We stripped it back to bare ground, excavated to a proper depth, and rebuilt the levels on a compacted stone sub-base. It is the least glamorous stage of any patio and the most important one: get the base wrong and no paving will save it.
On top of that base we laid large-format porcelain in two complementary tones, stepped between levels, with recessed LED strips along the step edges and borders. New composite fencing closes the space in, fitted with up and down wall lights, and the remaining ground was regraded ready for a new lawn.

AfterHow We Built It
Clear and excavate
Old paving, overgrown planting, and waste removed, then the whole area excavated down to solid ground.
Sub-base and levels
A compacted stone sub-base laid and levelled to correct falls. This is the part you never see in finished photos, and it is what stops slabs sinking and cracking years later.
Porcelain, fencing and lighting
Two-tone porcelain laid with tight, even joints, composite fence panels fitted, and LED lighting wired along the steps and boundaries.
After Dark
The lighting is what makes this garden work in the evening: recessed LED strips along the steps and borders, and wall lights on the new fencing.
