The story

Step by step

01After

Patio and walls

The lawn sits higher than the floor of the extension, so the patio was cut in and the ground retained with low brick walls that double as informal seating.

02After

Paving

Sandstone in mixed sizes was laid in a random pattern. A gravel margin keeps paving and splashing rain away from the house wall.

03After

Side path

The same stone continues along the side of the house, with gravel either side for drainage.
