Garden Sleepers & Patio Work in Addiscombe, Croydon
For this patio paving project in Addiscombe, Croydon, the customer asked us to reuse the existing slabs in her rear garden. We lifted the existing slabs and relaid them in an old vegetable patch to create a usable paved area, alongside two raised sleeper flower beds.
I excavated the area and removed the old vegetable plants and saved the soil. Area was excavated at 150 mil deep and I installed a membrane and sub base of type 1 compacted and sand and cement bed to lay the slabs on. These were pointed.
Once the slabs were laid and pointed I installed two raised railway sleeper flower beds and cut to size.
Once the sleepers were installed and stabilised I stapled a membrane inside the sleepers and backfilled the existing soil into the flower beds.
I installed organic compost to help with the planting. I placed a membrane around both sleepers on the floor area and installed bark chippings surrounding the sleepers for a softer look. I jet washed the paving to make them look new.
The customer was very happy with the work carried out and that I had managed to recycle the existing slabs as she requested
