Private garden transformed with paving, planting and pathways

Homeowners looking for a garden transformation might have just the smallest inkling or the biggest creative concepts in mind before they commission a designer or landscaper. That is why we find it helps immensely to translate hopes and dreamscapes into a visual interpretation of your garden plans.

Design and build

This rear garden transformation in Shepley followed this journey from design to build to completion. Armed with a visual design and concept agreed from the original brief and discussions, the build plan could be agreed at the earliest stage. This allowed the transformation to progress with both client and designer confident in the end goals and how it would be achieved.

In March 2021, JPL started to guide the garden in its first steps towards completion. The old pathways were removed and old turf replaced, ready for porcelain paving, manicured lawns, seating and a water feature.

Preparation is key

With grand ideas agreed, ground cleared, old paving and vegetation removed, the build phase could begin in earnest. The customer wanted clean, crisp lines reflected in the paving, pathways and lawned areas. Planted pockets would flank the garden with shrubs and perennials for seasonal and foliage contrast. A water feature would add interest and movement and a further seating area would sit at the foot of the garden with views across the countryside beyond.

The Transformation

Using the finest Marshall Symphony Classic porcelain paving in barley finish for the opening and circular patios and Fairstone cropped porphyry setts in the pathways to complement the low level stone walls, the hard landscape is pinpoint perfect. The paving is sleek, clean and slip-resistant.

The new planted beds will establish and form natural framing around the landscape, with lighting adding evening focus on features and space for outdoor entertaining.
