Back Garden Transformation, Sutton in Ashfield

A Stunning Back Garden Transformation

For this project, our team was tasked with renovating a large back garden for our clients in Sutton in Ashfield. The back garden needed some help and the clients desired a unique, usable space that the whole family could enjoy whatever the weather.

This was a complete garden transformation which required several areas of work to deliver the best results for our clients, from paving to patio development and even the installation of a summer house.

Laying The Foundation For The Design

The first challenge was clearing the space and taming the land so our creative vision could begin to take shape. As part of our complete garden design service, our team handles the preparation as well as the installation and finishing touches to ensure complete satisfaction every time.

A large portion of this back garden transformation required paving, with custom designs to fit the space, which is why our first task was setting a durable foundation. Once the designs were marked, our team laid a 20-millimetre crush run as the foundation for future paving work.

This was then compacted for additional stability, creating a solid base for our team to work on ahead of creating the garden of our client’s dreams.

Winding Roads: Circular Paving Installation

This back garden transformation had a unique theme – circles. Rounded paving was to be installed across the garden, along with unique circle features to offset the design and help the land work stand out.

To create the waving pathways, charcoal block edging was put down. This created the frame for the paths, circles and patio areas, which would be filled with concrete for a durable foundation.

Following this, the paving areas were then paved using Belize Riva porcelain paving which creates a sleek, luxurious appearance to the garden. All paving joints were filled with PremJoint jointing compound to ensure lasting stability.

For the finishing touch, the paths were then covered with 20mm resin pearl blush to add colour to all the areas and create something truly unique for our client.

Softscaping And Wooden Garden Features

Now that the hardscaping was complete, it was time to add some softer elements to deliver a comprehensive garden design. For this, we installed grass areas into the two circles we had created with the paving border to add some natural tones to the landscape.

A beautiful wooden circle sculpture was added on a walkway between the two grassed areas, serving both as an eye-catching feature and an elevation element to make the final design completely unique to our clients.

While we also created the spaces and structures for planting, this was left bare by our team as the client wished to add a personal touch by planting the garden themselves. We simply created the groundwork for this to be possible.

Tranquillity Guaranteed: Summer House Addition

This back garden transformation was not complete just yet – as we also installed a summer house for our clients, allowing them to enjoy the beauty of their new garden no matter the weather.

This summer house was set on the newly resin-paved patio, with winding paving leading directly to its doors, to create a perfectly tranquil corner.

A Vibrant Final Result

The final result of this back garden transformation was a unique space teaming with colour, interesting shapes and functional areas.

This was a particularly interesting and enjoyable project for our team due to the meticulous circular design to create a bespoke outdoor space that fits the landscape perfectly.

Our client was very happy with the final result and was so pleased with our workmanship that they later hired our team to design and install a new resin driveway at the front of the house. This is a testament to our quality of work and our commitment to client satisfaction, which is guaranteed in everything we do.

From the first meeting with Kevin I knew I was in safe hands. I had previously dealt with other ‘landscape’ companies who only seemed interested in charging above what they should for a poor quality job. Kevin knew what was needed not only to satisfy my needs but more importantly my plot. Plans were drawn up and changed a couple of times, I’m quite hard to please at times. The work started and all the team were amazing, hard working, polite and knew what they were doing, Kevin was always on hand to keep me calm and make sure my OCD (lol) was ok. The garden was handed back on time and on budget and WOW what a transformation. Kevin has been back a couple of times to sort out a couple of snags and nothing is too much trouble. My garden is now an extension of my home and I’m so pleased I was introduced to Knightingale Landscapes and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kevin and his team..

I have been planning my garden makeover for a couple of years and never thought it would ever look like it does now and that is thanks to Kevin and his great team. From the planning stage through to work commencing on the garden Kevin was so helpful and knowledgeable, giving me advice on materials, and how everything would work together. Our garden is on different levels so we now have steps up to our lawn and patio which look amazing. The work was carried out to the highest standard and each day when they had finished the lads cleaned everything and left things neat and tidy. I cannot thank Kevin and his team enough for giving me a garden to be proud of. My husband and I are never out of it now and know that we will have many happy times spent in our beautiful new outside space. If you want your dream garden contact Kevin and his great team, I am so glad I did.

We cannot recommend Knightingale Landscapes enough. From the first contact we had with Kev he was very professional and delivered a great customer service. We were clueless as to what we wanted apart from the fact that our back garden needed to be dog friendly. Kev came back to us with a design that was perfect. We had our back & front garden landscaped along with new fencing. From start to finish Kev and his team worked so hard, kept everything tidy, with regular updates on progress. We requested additional work and nothing was too much trouble. The final result is a beautiful garden that we enjoy so much. A fantastic job completed by reliable, professional people.

We have a smallish, awkwardly shaped garden surrounded by walls and fences on a new development. We go away frequently enough to want a low maintenance garden but also need sufficient plant interest to keep enjoyment of our outdoor space not just limited to sitting out with a glass of wine. Kevin surveyed the plot, produced an imaginative design, gave us a quote and offered us a start date. He and his team duly started on the date they said they would. Each day just enough materials for that day’s work were delivered and at the end of each day the site was left clean and tidy. The job took exactly the length of time Kevin said it would and cost exactly what he said it would. We are delighted not only with the result but also with the whole experience. As it happened we were away for the last few days of the project but such was our trust in Kevin and his team that we were happy to leave him to finish the job and make any last minute adjustments to the planting.

I cannot speak highly enough of Kevin and his team, they are professional hard working and just lovely people. My garden went from being a mass of weeds and stinging nettles and generally uncared for (the house was rented before we bought it) to being a lovely space for us to spend time in. The work was carried out during the school half term so they had two 5 year olds asking questions all the time and they were extremely patient with them. So if you are going to have a garden makeover Knightingale Landscapes are the best people for the job.
