Before & after

Drag to compare.

A garden that was mostly bare slope now has a lawn, a lower seating level and steps you can use after dark.

The job

How we built it.

  1. 01

    Levels and retaining wall

    We dug out the slope and built a block retaining wall across the full width of the garden to hold the upper level.

  2. 02

    Wide steps

    A run of full-width steps with dark treads was built into the wall, so the two levels connect properly.

  3. 03

    Finish

    The walls were rendered and capped, artificial grass was laid on the upper level, and lights were fitted into the steps and walls.
