Full garden transformation with astro grass and a slatted fence in Clapham

William's garden in Clapham needed a full transformation. We laid new astro grass with paving and a footpath all around it, put up a new slatted fence, laid stepping stones with shingle between them down the side return, fitted 3 new doors, repointed the garden wall, clad 2 steps, fitted a manhole cover and did the front garden in gravel. Around 2 weeks, £18,860 including VAT, with waste removal included.
