It all started with an overgrown tennis court, cracked with large holes and difficult to tidy up. The original plan was to remove the tarmac and sub stone and replace with top soil and to seed. Whilst removing the unwanted material we decided to leave the section closest to the house and to build a sunken seated area. The photos attached show the process of stripping back the court, digging the hole, building the outer blockwork and stonework face of the sunken area, followed by new set of steps, a large two section stone patio with raised brick bedding areas and finally the lighting. So many people to thank as everyone played an important part in a difficult and long project (Paul Read, Grant Taylor - groundwork, Mark Wenn, Mark Hutchings from MJH Electrical, Steve Hembury - Gardner, Ryan Baxter, Keenan, George Busby from Busby’s Reclamation, Adrian Sharpe and Nigel). All we need now is some time for the grass seed and planting to mature. Roll on the summer.
