About us
Based in Elmdon which is just a 10 minute drive from Saffron Walden we cover all local villages & surrounding areas and have built a firm reputation of quality garden installations. From modern contemporary low maintenance designs using crisp clean lines such as porcelain tiles & rendered planters & walls to the more traditional such as natural stone patios we have over 20 years experience in hard landscaping & are fully insured. We are totally passionate about our installations and proud of the quality of work we offer and enjoy turning your dream into a reality. We are proud to say we are both Tobermore and Pavestone approved and preferred contractors.
Patios
A few years ago it was all about natural stone such as Indian sandstone but the trend today seems to be all about porcelain, maybe its the huge range and variety available & the fact its so hard wearing and low maintenance so what ever your style or budget we have many years experience and can help & guide you to make the right choice.
Below is a photo of a beautiful porcelain patio with the tiles supplied by Mandarin stone in Cambridge which offers a huge usable space with minimum maintenance, to complete the look we constructed a stunning wall with flint sections to bring modern with older traditional materials together and finished with down lighters which completely change the look at night.
Before photo showing the very beginning of groundworks a total of nearly 100 tonnes of material were removed from the site, drainage system was added before construction could begin. After photo showing the finished product with brick & flint walling with a stunning porcelain patio area which totalled over 200 metres square.

Natural swimming pools
Working on the very same principle as fish ponds but on a much larger scale natural swimming pools offer the best of both worlds. No chemicals needed so kinder to the environment and a lot cheaper to run as you do not need to heat the water. Filtration is taken care off by Mother nature using a natural combination of bio filters & Plants. You can enjoy all year round if you are brave enough! Custom built to meet individual needs so you can really let your imagination run wild in the design.

This pool is constructed using concrete blocks with a series of piping running to bio filters, it also uses a natural plant area to clarify the water. The pool uses no chemicals so wildlife is encouraged to develop although we do not recommend stocking fish in the pool due to the waste element that they produce.
Composite Decking
​
We no longer fit & supply wooden decking due to its high maintenance but we still install composite decking. It comes in a whole host of colour ranges and finishes and we can offer a 10 year warranty. The amazing thing with composite decking is its virtually maintenance free and is UV stable so it wont fade as fast a wooden boards & unlike wood it is more stable in variable temperatures meaning the boards will not shrink or expand. Pressure wash or a gentle hose down to keep it clean.
Glass & stainless steel balustrading
We have completed various decking with glass & stainless steel balustrading which offers clean and modern lines and especially works well with composite decking boards. It allows functionality while at the same time leaves clear open views and works well in both larger & smaller gardens.
Brickwork & flintwork
Above left is a beautiful brick wall we constructed in Ickelton and it used Imperial handmade bricks laid in classic English bond with a tile crease to allow for water run off. Double skinned with built in piers on the other side for added strength.
Above right is still one of our favourites which we really enjoyed constructing. Using a concrete block behind to which we faced off with flint & brick with built in down lighters.
