The back garden of this Bentley property was a confined space, characterised by uneven, dirty paving slabs and cracked concrete paths. Existing brick and timber planters were in disrepair, and the overall area felt neglected and uninviting.
Our work began with clearing the old surfaces and dilapidated structures. We installed a new, level patio using large format grey porcelain tiles, extending the paved area across the main garden and into the side passage.
Along one boundary, new horizontal timber slat fencing was erected, providing a consistent backdrop. Built-in planters and seating were constructed from rendered blockwork, topped with natural timber for the bench seats.
The finished garden is a bright, tidy, and low-maintenance outdoor space. The light grey porcelain gives a clean aesthetic, complemented by the warm tones of the timber fencing and seating. Integrated planting adds greenery without requiring extensive upkeep.
