Front garden, Rayners Park.

Project overview

Having recently moved in, the neglected front garden needed re-imagining to match the quality of the home behind it and to create a more welcoming arrival.

Before and after

This Victorian terrace in Rayners Park needed to be brought up to date with the rest of the house, adding more kerb appeal and a more inviting welcome home. The old, tired materials were replaced with a cleaner layout and a more generous front path.

Project description

Whilst not much time is spent in most front gardens, they are seen by passers-by and are the first thing you see when you return home after a long day. This front garden had been neglected for some years, and it was time to give it some much-needed kerb appeal.

We worked with the client on their requirements, which centred on creating a more luxurious welcome home. Smooth sandstone was selected for the main surfaces, along with a custom bull-nosed step complete with an air vent drilled into the front. Bin storage and the practicalities of standing them on hard ground were also a key consideration, so we used clay pavers to complement the sandstone and provide that durable standing area. A cost-effective front fence was installed to neatly frame the space.
