A substantial garden patio decking project in Sevenoaks Kent, involving enlarging the existing patio area to take a new timber deck. The new decking patio will give added recreation space in the garden. All of the decking timber will be tanalised - which carries a 15 year anti-rot guarantee. The client have already had one of our timber patio decks installed at a previous house. Recommendation enough! Considerable excavation was undertaken using a mini digger. Total volume of soil moved = approx 30 cubic metres. Spoil will be removed from the site using a 'grab lorry'.

The area of the new garden decking patio being excavated by our ace digger driver Michael. The area excavated measured 20m x 2m. This added to the existing patio area will give us a deck space of approx 95 sq metres of decking. Before the decking can be installed, there will be around 30 metres of retaining wall to build - to include steps up from the deck to the higher level garden. All images can be clicked for enlargement. Concrete foundations are in for the
retaining wall. The plastic sheeting prevents the concrete from drying out
too quickly - allowing it to 'cure' before brickwork starts. Top
Row: Michael inspects the foundations - they are ok so the bricklayer
gets going. RH image shows the scale of the excavation that took place. Snow forecast for tomorrow - Oh joy!! Go to Slide show of this project in progress
