Where we started
The brief
Helena wanted to replace an old timber barn at the end of the garden in Cheam with a new paved seating area.
Removing the barn and clearing the waste were part of the job, so the whole project was handled in one go. It is a good example of the patios in Cheam and garden clearance in Cheam we take on.
