Dan checked sunlight at different times, then placed the cut line so the table sits on paving rather than grass. He trimmed around the apple tree cleanly and left a hand-drawn watering schedule.
The lawn sits level to the terrace and looks like it has always belonged there.

Dan recommended a tougher turf for football, then shaped gentle radii so the mower flows without three point turns. He left timings for watering, feeding and first cut.
After one soak the seams blurred and the colour evened out. It feels like a little park.

Dan swapped guesswork for a plan that fits how we live. Tougher mix where football happens, softer feel near the bench, and a cut line that means chairs stay on paving not grass.
He wrote a simple schedule for watering and the first two feeds. After a light shower the surface drained evenly and there was no squishy corner by the shed. The mower wheels track straight now. That quiet order makes the garden easier to love, which is all we wanted.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping lifted weeds, improved soil and laid turf that meets the raised beds neatly. The mower strip keeps gravel at bay.
It’s fresh and easy to keep.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt the ground where the shed sat. Turf meets the stepping stones neatly and the mower no longer snags.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping brought in topsoil, corrected dips and tucked turf neatly around the patio curve. It reads finished, not fiddled.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping laid turf that suits our shady side. The curve by the pergola looks intentional and the hose no longer pools.
It’s a different garden.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping improved the soil where builders had compacted it, then levelled to the patio sightline so the lawn reads true from the kitchen. Edges are crisp, the hose point no longer creates a swamp and the mower wheels track straight.
A simple plan for the first two weeks means we’re not guessing. It’s already the nicest thing we own.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping added topsoil, aligned joins to the patio view and set a slim timber edge. It already reads settled.

Dan studied where shadow falls at four in the afternoon and picked a blend that keeps colour under the apple. He raised a marshy corner by the fence, then laid turf snug to the path so there’s no ragged seam to catch a shoe.
A quick hose test proved water moves on. Rolling again after soaking locked everything down. He even checked the gate swing at the new height. It already feels lived in rather than new, which was the hope from the start.

Dan trimmed clean around the tree well, set a narrow timber border and rolled once more after watering. The mower tracks straight and the colour sits rich in shade and sun.
The garden finally smiles back.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping cleared every scrap of thatch, rotavated deeply and mixed in topsoil where the old paddling pool had left a dent. Turf went down tight to the path, then a firm roll settled it.
They explained watering by days, not guesswork, and suggested a gentle first cut. Children ran out barefoot after tea and came back clean. From the kitchen window it reads calm instead of chaotic.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping cleared every weed, rotavated the lot and brought in topsoil where the old path had sunk. Fresh turf went down tight to the patio edge, then a firm roll settled it.
They rinsed the slabs and left watering guidance. Our shoes stay clean and the garden finally invites you out.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping removed the old mat of weeds, improved the topsoil and laid fresh rolls that meet the stepping stones perfectly. The curve by the shed looks intentional now.
They swept the paths before leaving and rinsed the patio. It’s a calm, even green that makes everything else look smarter.

Dan studied where shade sits in late afternoon, then chose a blend that keeps colour under the apple. He lifted the low patch by the shed, set a tidy timber edge along the gravel and laid turf tight to the curve.
Rolling after watering locked everything in. He left a small reminder on blade height. The garden looks composed and is easier to live with.
