Our clients asked us to remove their rotting deck and to replace it with a contemporary style patio, which would offer enhanced access to the rest of their garden. After the removal of the timber and considerable earthmoving, the patio was laid in sawn Indian sandstone, which brightened the area and reflected light into the house. We constructed steps and beds to connect the patio with the rest of the garden, with the step-treads laid in brick to match the house.
