Stanley Paving 2024

🌿✨ Garden Transformation in Stanley Village, Derby ✨🌿

We’re thrilled to showcase a recent landscape transformation we completed for a customer in Stanley Village, Derby. The client had previously had a composite deck installed by another landscaper, but now wanted to make the rest of their garden more functional, beautiful, and ready for future planting.

To help break the cost into manageable stages, we began with the landscaping work in 2024, with plans for planting in the gravel and lawn areas in 2025. Here’s how we brought their vision to life:

🔨 Step 1: Creating Tiered Levels with a Sleeper Retaining Wall
To maximize the space and create a more useable garden, we installed a new sleeper retaining wall with a step, tiering the garden into three levels. This not only added visual interest but also made it easier to work within the space, creating distinct zones for relaxation, planting, and access.

🌞 Step 2: Indian Sandstone Patio in Sunset Blend
The second level of the garden features a stunning Indian Sandstone patio in Sunset Blend, with vibrant oranges and reds that bring a Mediterranean feel to the space. This sun-drenched patio will be perfect for the customer to enjoy, offering a beautiful spot to unwind in their south-facing garden.

🌿 Step 3: Curved Pathway & Lawn Area
We then created a curved pathway from the existing composite decking to the step-down area leading to the third level. This pathway provides a seamless transition and added flow to the garden, making it easy to navigate. Alongside this, we installed a fresh, lush lawn area and an additional planting zone, ready for the customer to fill with plants in the years ahead.

🏖️ Step 4: Oyster Cobble Decorative Stone & Utility Paving
On the third tier, we laid Oyster cobble decorative stone, adding texture and elegance while creating a durable surface. To make the brick shelter on this level more usable, we installed utility paving slabs underneath, providing a cool, shaded area where the customer can escape the intense heat of the south-facing sun during the summer months.

🌿 The Final Touches
With the landscaping completed, the garden is now divided into functional zones, ready for planting and designed to make the most of the available space. The beautiful Indian Sandstone, tiered levels, and curved pathway offer a stunning aesthetic, while the new lawn and planting areas provide the perfect foundation for future greenery.

We’re so pleased with how this garden has transformed, and we look forward to returning in 2025 to help the customer plant up the areas we’ve created. Thanks to our customer for trusting us with their garden design and landscaping vision. 🌷🌳
