Garden Renovation Services in Haxby

We needed access for a wheelchair without turning the place clinical. Dan set shallow steps and a discreet ramp with matching paving.

Levels read natural and the handrail is there when needed. It looks elegant and works quietly in daily life. We’re genuinely pleased.

Dan shifted our seating a few metres to catch evening light and it changed everything. He widened the step, set a mat well that actually works and placed a narrow boardwalk to the shed so the grass stays neat.

The new planting is tough but still cheerful. He took time with my dad who wanted to understand levels and drainage. No jargon, just plain English and a pencil sketch. We use the garden without thinking now which is exactly what we hoped for.

Dan kept the good sleepers and spent budget on the terrace. Honest advice that saved money and waste.

We appreciate that.

Dan phased the lawn last to protect it from muddy paws. Sensible approach and a tidy finish.

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.

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.

Dan solved a long running puddle that made the back door a chore. He set a slim drain along the wall, raised the terrace slightly and kept the look gentle so it doesn’t shout about itself.

A small cooking corner sits out of the wind and the path lands sensibly at the table. He followed up a week later to check the first storm behaved. It did. The hallway no longer smells damp and our weekends feel longer.

Dan handled levels that once tripped my mum. He split a tall step into two shallower rises and added a handrail that sits kindly in the palm.

The porcelain has a soft texture so it stays friendly in drizzle. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping kept to the quote and checked back after frost. It feels safe without looking like a ramp.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping swept nightly and left the lane spotless. The handover felt calm.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping cleared brambles, laid porcelain and left a calm layout. The garden finally suits the house.

Dan suggested screening to soften the view of the garages. Slats make a huge difference without boxing us in.

Simple idea that solved a daily annoyance.

Dan moved the main seating to catch late light and tucked a small storage wall behind slats. He aligned paving joints with the kitchen tiles so the view feels longer.

The lawn edge is crisp and there’s a mat well that actually works. He followed up a week later to check drainage after rain. Calm, straightforward and proper care of detail.

Dan planned for our spaniel and our toddler. He phased the lawn last so muddy paws didn’t ruin fresh turf and built a shallow ramp that looks like part of the path.

The bench hides toys and the little herb strip sits near the door for quick snips. He answered daft questions kindly and never pushed extras. It’s practical without losing charm and we end up outside after tea most nights because the space invites it.

We’re not gardeners. They gave us a straightforward plan with tough shrubs and gravel.

Looks sharp and requires almost nothing from us.

We’d been guessing for years. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping produced a simple drawing with levels, drainage and planting notes.

The renovation followed it exactly. No puddles, no awkward steps and the lawn meets the path cleanly.
