Garden Renovation Services in Anlaby

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping shaped a curved path that guides you from kitchen to pergola. Feels natural, not forced.

Neighbours already noticed.

Dan suggested lifting the lawn a touch so it met the terrace cleanly. He set a slim slot drain and widened the step so trays don’t wobble.

The planting is simple but has colour in spring and late summer. We eat outside more because it works, not because we feel guilty about wasting space.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt a tired lawn, set a gravel route to the compost and gave the shed a little pad so it sits level. The pram now rolls out without a wrestle and the dog comes back in without carrying half the border.

The plan was clear, the crew friendly and the finish clean.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping turned our overgrown patch into a simple plan we could trust. New patio, fresh borders and safer steps.

It already feels like a room we’ll use.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping transformed a gloomy rectangle into something we actually love. Porcelain against brick, a simple pergola for shade and planting that carries spring into autumn.

They kept the gate shut for our excitable spaniel and stacked tools neatly away from small hands. It rained on handover and the terrace behaved perfectly. I made tea and watched the water slide away. That small moment sold me.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping cleared years of brambles, reshaped the slope and built a simple retaining wall that doubles as seating. The porcelain terrace sits level with the doors so trays stop wobbling.

It looks modern without feeling cold and the dog has a sensible loop to run.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping tied fencing, paving and lighting into one plan. The glow at ankle height guides feet gently at night.

Dan listened first, then suggested moving the seating to catch evening sun. Small switch, big change.

The layout finally works with how we live.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping planned the renovation so deliveries never blocked the lane. Old patio out, sub base compacted, porcelain down in one clean run.

The border planting is tough but still colourful. They left a simple drawing with plant names and watering notes which helped a lot. We ate outside the next evening with blankets on our knees and felt like we’d pinched an extra room from nowhere.

Dan saved money by keeping our sound sleeper wall. He repaired the weak spots and put the budget into the terrace and lighting.

The difference in evenings is huge. Soft glow along the path, no glare in windows and a spot for the pizza oven that doesn’t hog space. Practical advice that felt like someone on our side.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping reused good sleepers and spent budget where it matters. The new paving ties into the brick nicely and there’s a tiny bench that catches morning sun.

I make tea and sit there with the paper while the cat does lazy patrols. Worth every penny for that routine alone.

They rebuilt steps as two shallow risers that feel kinder on knees. The handrail sits comfortable in the palm.

Thoughtful detail.

We wanted less mowing and more time outside. They replaced a lumpy lawn with porcelain and pockets of planting.

It looks crisp without losing warmth.

They rebuilt our wobbly sleeper steps in concrete with a timber face. Looks warm, feels solid.

The kids run up and down safely at last.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping blended old brick with new porcelain so it looks like it grew together. The steps are wide enough to sit and the little handrail is kind on chilly mornings.

They kept radios low, swept nightly and left the road clean. You can tell they respect people’s homes. The garden feels welcoming rather than showy which is exactly what we asked for.
