Behind-the-Scenes: Look at Our Latest Landscaping Project
At CHS Landscapes, we believe every great garden begins long before the first plants go into the ground. It starts with careful planning, precise groundwork, and a clear vision of how the space should feel and function. Our latest project is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and skilled workmanship can completely transform a property – from a raw, uneven plot into a beautifully structured and welcoming outdoor living area.
In this blog, we take you behind the scenes of the transformation and share how our team brought this stunning garden to life.
Starting with Strong Foundations
Before any paving, planting, or construction could begin, the first stage involved comprehensive groundworks and excavation. Using specialist machinery, including mini excavators and dumpers, we reshaped the land, removed old materials, and created a level, well-drained base for the new garden.
Good ground preparation is essential. It ensures stability, longevity, and prevents issues like sinking patios or water pooling later on. Our team carefully mapped out each section of the garden to match the design plan, preparing different zones for pathways, lawns, and structural features.
Crafting Curved Pathways with Precision
One of the standout features of this project is the series of elegant curved pathways that sweep through the garden. These curves create a natural flow, guiding visitors through the space while adding a modern and sophisticated touch.
To achieve this, we installed curved edging blocks laid into fresh concrete. This edging forms the backbone of the design, keeping materials in place and defining the landscape. Precision is key here – every curve must be smooth, symmetrical, and perfectly aligned with the rest of the layout.
Once the edging was set, our team began building the sub-base for the path itself, ensuring it will remain firm and steady for years to come.
Preparing Structural Bases for the Garden Building
This garden also features a timber-framed pergola, a focal point that provides year-round outdoor living space. Before construction could begin, we installed concrete foundation pads designed to support the structure securely.
These foundations are crucial for stability and weather resistance, ensuring the pergola remains solid no matter the season. With all bases in place, we were able to move forward confidently with the build.
Bringing the Space to Life with Hard Landscaping
With the groundwork complete, our focus shifted to the visible elements that make the garden functional and beautiful. This included:
- Laying the patio beneath the pergola
- Completing the pathways with high-quality surface materials
- Installing new lawns and fresh planting beds
- Creating a seamless transition between each area of the garden
The finished result is a balanced and inviting outdoor space that blends structure, comfort, and natural beauty.
A Stunning Transformation
The completed project shows just how much a garden can change with the right design and expert craftsmanship. From a rough, uneven site to a modern and usable outdoor space, this garden now features:
- A spacious timber pergola for dining and relaxation
- Smooth curved pathways connecting every area of the garden
- Freshly laid lawns and landscaped borders
- High-quality paving that complements the surrounding features
It’s a space that the homeowners can enjoy throughout the year – perfect for family time, entertaining, or simply relaxing outdoors.
