Landscaping a garden, time-lapse music video. (info in description)
This is a complete garden build from February 2018. A great design and fantastic customers. The second day on the project was the start of the Beast from the East which lasted most of the project
and was followed by record rainfall.
Egyptian limestone (Pyramis gold) paving
globelstone tudar clay pavers
everedge lawn edging
george davis turf.
This is one of our favourite projects to date.
Time scale around 6 weeks with an extra 2 weeks lost at the beginning due to the snow on the ground.
The existing garden had a level patio stepping down onto a level lawn which both held water. By using the correct 1:80 fall on the new patio and slightly raising the lawn to continue the fall , it allows water to run off to the gravel area at the back. It also eradicates the need for the step.
Paving and paths were both layed on 100mm of compact mot type 1 with a fabric membrane underneath.
The path edging course was bedded length ways and pointed giving a solid edge for the other blocks to be infilled. The infilled pavers were set on a narrow bed (20mm) of screeded compact sharp sand about 3mm higher than the edging. They then have kiln dried sand brushed in and are wacked with the compactor to level and secure the whole path.
The patio is layed on a full bed around 50mm thick of sharp sand and cement 5:1. A primer is made up of neat cement and SBR whisked into a thick consistent paste and rolled onto the backs. Traditional pointing of a semi dry soft sand and cement 3:1 mix with a tiny amount of feb additive.
The lawn areas where temporarily boarded to prevent over compaction whilst working in the rain. Once clear, everedge lawn edging is clipped together and hammered into the ground to create the boarders. The lawn area then rotovated with a petrol cultivator to aerate the soil. Its then raked out and topped up with lawn grade silica soil. Its all then raked level and compacted under foot to firm it up – know as ‘pigeon stepping’ or the ‘horticultural shuffle’. The flattened soil is then raked out to the final level known as a tilth ready for the turf. Turf rolls are rolled out in a staggered pattern starting one side and then working back and forth from one side to the other. The rolls are knitted together meaning they are carefully butted up without a gap or overlapping. Boards are placed over the turf so not to be walked on whilst laying, they are also used to jump on and flatten the rolls at the end. The edges are cut in with a serrated bread knife making sure there are no small cuts that could dry out too quickly while the grass establishes.
It was a real testament to George Davis Turf to be able to supply grass this quality after the 6 weeks of awfull weather the country just had.
Thanks for watching!
build by Sam keep and nathan stone.

Dobra robota๐
very impressive gentelmen!

Hi great work. Very inspiring watching use hard at work.
I hope you donโt mind me asking a few questions..
I want to start my own business one day soon. Iโve just finished my level 2 RHS practical horticulture, looking to start my level 3 diploma in landscape construction.
Is there anything else you would recommend me learn/do?
Also what size van do use?
Tools needed for this job?
How much roughly can you make a year doing this?
Whatโs the biggest contract youโve had?
Wow, itโs so nice to see a job done with pride,no shortcuts in this job.
Well done guys.
I’m not really one for curved features but this one looks good
๐๐ฅ
Beautiful! Such hard work.
When landscape more expensive than the house lol
Amazing job, just curious what you’re painting on the underside of the pavers?
A lot of attention to every single detail. The only constructive critic would be at the end, with the plant of the tree. I think it should have more care, like a bigger hole, spread the roots, cut damaged roots, cut roots interoverlapping, apply a planting pruning to root and first level story of the tree.
Grand job gents. I don’t envy you working in that snow let alone doing all that back breaking work ๐๐
Very nice and very satisfy… The design and the artwork involved blow me way. I want my garden that way.
Outstanding and very impressive.
You guys did an excellent job on hardscaping. Congratulations on a job well done.
Absolute Perfection well done ๐
Great job guys! Beautiful result! ๐

Compacting the topsoil by foot? That was hilarious. You guys should post the entire time lapse of that because it looks so ridiculous. It would probably go viral

The design had some jarring angles that were eventually softened by plants. The work was very good quality.
