Snakey!!

Spot (the) Light

In a few days we have the beginnings of a hefty wall going up.

With a break of a week or so for half term we arrived back to continue this section of the wall.



Bit grim down at sea level though.



Blockwork Begins

Into February and the blockwork phase begins....

Now we are into the month of February, we think to ourselves that as the days are getting longer we might be able to get an after work surf in!!! 

Praa Sands

Something special about sunsets, this taken at Praa last night, such beauty!!...

As mentioned the next stage is the pouring of the footings

A good foundation is always essential!

Keven 'de-bubbling' the concrete 

Now, let the blockwork begin!!...

Into 2012..

Coast to Coasts's first project of the year sees us working in Praa Sands, a beautiful part of the coastline of Cornwall.

We are working on a terracing job on a site that is very steeply sloping. The original terracing work had very shallow footings with 4 inch concrete blocks and had started to move, crack and crumble.

We started in Mid January and Timmy our mini digger man came and dug the footings.

Huge footings were needed due to the sloping site, and a roughly 15 tonne pile of topsoil and subsoil stored on-site ready to be recycled back into the beds.

Next will be the pouring of the footings.....

Further 2011 Projects.... Working with Wood

We created plenty of great structures, from fencing to sleeper constructions, raised beds and decking.....

Photographic examples of earlier work in which the plants have matured. This shows how they complete the garden design.

A selection of our 2011 projects

Our first full year of trading under our new name and we were busy with projects throughout the year. Here are some of them....

Somewhere on the Lizard peninsula, a project that involved re-surfacing the driveway with gravel sourced from the Lizard. We designed and built some sleeper steps, and a curved retaining wall using sleepers again. We also created a picket fence and a cobbled pathway.

Nearly there!

Of particular interest is this bench created by Keven's expert hands from English Oak and Monterrey Cypress.

Cobbling a path is always pleasurable and creative work!!

From the 'Before stage'...

...To the after!
