New natural lawn beside stepping stones in gravel in Dulwich Hill

The project

Backyard Refresh

A Dulwich Hill backyard that was entirely concrete slab. The slab was broken out and removed, the base was prepared for a lawn profile, timber edging was set, turf was laid, and a pebble path with dark stepping stones was run from the rear door out into the garden.

Project details

What the site presented, and what was built

The constraints that shaped this project and the work delivered.

What the site presented

The whole yard was slab

The yard was one concrete slab, which held heat and left no soft ground at all.

Water with nowhere to go

The aged slab shed everything to the surface, which contributed to the drainage problems.

What we built

Slab removed and base prepared

The concrete was broken out and taken away, and the ground beneath was prepared to a lawn-ready profile.

Lawn and access path

Turf was laid within timber edging, with a pebble and stepping stone path creating a route from the rear door through the yard.
