Softwood decks and astro grass in Streatham Common
Jodie's long, narrow garden in Streatham Common was a lawn. We replaced it with two softwood decks, one at each end, and artificial grass in the middle, with new closeboard fencing on wooden posts with gravel boards. Everything was supplied and installed in four days for £5,000 including VAT.

Where we started
The brief
Jodie wanted the lawn in this long, narrow garden in Streatham Common replaced with decking and artificial grass.
A deck at each end with artificial grass between them splits the garden into separate areas. It is a good example of the smaller decking in Streatham and artificial grass in Streatham jobs we take on.
