Slate paving, new lawn and French drain in Clapham
Victor's back garden, between Brixton and Clapham, took 10 days. We prepared and laid a new lawn, installed a new French drain, and built a new footpath and paving section in slate to Victor's own design, plus a concrete base for a shed. The existing deck and fence were pressure washed. £9,220 including VAT, with waste removal included.

Where we started
The brief
Victor had a design in mind for the new footpath and paving section, and wanted a new lawn and French drain in the garden, plus a concrete base for a shed.
The deck and fence were already there, so these were pressure washed rather than replaced. It is a good example of the landscaping in Clapham and garden drainage in Clapham we take on.
