Wood Deck Design & Pond Makeover

Category: Wood Deck Design & Wooden Structures

Garden Design Project: DKGLMF001

This photo shows the start of the project with a steep slope of uneven, patchy grass covered with bricks and sloping to the sides.

Not very inviting for outdoor living.

All the rubbish is taken by barrow to the front and removed by skip.

Bitumen paint was applied to the inside for extra protection.

After regular watering for 2 weeks it was rolled to help root growth.

A pond was excavated sloping down to a depth of 1 metre.

The base was covered with a layer of building sand for a smooth finish.

A hardcore base was laid for the new paving area and compacted.

Natural stone paving was then laid on a mortar bed for the new patio area.

Newel posts were also attached for the hand rail.

Bracings cut and screwed to the sub frame for additional strength.

Centre line was then set for the main wood deck design area.

Come rain or shine at Terra Firma we always try to make the best of what the weather throws at us.

The overhanging deck boards were then cut to length.

A secret removable board is also on this picture for a clothes dryer.

Electrics were pre installed by a competent qualified electrician.

Lighting has also now been installed under the balcony.

Children's play area, relaxing area and entertaining deck area.

Now a totally usable garden to enjoy.
