Garden Renovation & Garden Building Base in Market Harborough

We are stripping the garden back, reusing the existing paving and creating a properly prepared 5 × 2.5 metre base for a future timber garden building.

The project

A level, practical garden with a solid base for what comes next.

The paving beside the house, the circular patio and the concrete borders are being removed. Rather than wasting usable materials, the slabs lifted from beside the house are being retained for the new garden-building base.

The rest of the garden will be dug back and levelled before a new weed-control membrane is installed. The existing decorative stone will then be relaid across the garden and brought neatly up to the house.

Starting point

The original layout and first clearance.

These photographs record the paving beside the house, the wider gravelled area and the first stage of clearance before excavation and base preparation continue.

This page shows the garden as work gets under way. We will add the groundwork, paving and finished photographs as the transformation progresses.

The plan

Three practical stages.

The finished result starts with careful removal and preparation. Existing materials are being reused wherever they suit the new layout.

01 • Under way

Lift and retain

Remove the paving beside the house, the circular patio and the concrete borders, keeping suitable slabs for reuse.

02 • Next stage

Prepare the 5 × 2.5 metre base

Hand dig the former circular-patio area, install Type 1, compact it with a Wacker plate and relay the retained slabs on a solid mortar bed.

03 • Final stage

Relevel and finish

Dig back and level the wider garden, install new membrane and relay the existing decorative stone neatly up to the house.
