Project Overview
This Nelson property was in need of a full outdoor renovation to bring both the front and rear areas up to modern standards. The old driveway and patio were dated and impractical, and the garden levels lacked structure and flow. The client wanted a large, stylish driveway with a standout feature, a practical side path, and a new rear patio with clear, defined spaces for relaxing and entertaining.

Before and After
- Before: The front driveway was worn and uninspiring, the rear patio was uneven, and the garden areas were undefined with little appeal.
- After: The property now features a striking block paved driveway with a diamond feature in the centre, a charcoal border for contrast, a neat side path leading to a fresh Indian Sandstone patio, and two sets of steps with wooden sleepers for flower beds, creating structure and style in the garden.
Project Steps
- Excavation & Ground Prep: The project began with the removal of the old driveway, patio, and surrounding overgrown sections. All areas were excavated to the required depth, with new hardcore foundations installed.
- Driveway Installation: The large front driveway was paved with high-quality block paving, featuring a decorative diamond pattern at its centre for a standout look. Charcoal borders were added to define the edges and give a crisp, modern finish.
- Side Pathway: A new pathway was constructed to connect the front driveway to the back garden, ensuring seamless flow and practical access.
- Patio Installation: At the rear, a new Indian Sandstone patio was laid, providing a bright, attractive outdoor space. The patio was designed to complement the driveway while offering its own distinct character.
- Garden Features: Heavy-duty wooden sleepers were installed to create raised flower beds, bringing natural warmth and definition to the garden. Two sets of steps were constructed to connect to the lower levels of the garden, ensuring both practicality and style.
- Final Touches: The newly built spaces were cleaned, jointed, and finished to the highest standard, leaving the property with a smart, modern exterior.
Conclusion
This Nelson property has been completely revitalised with a large block paved driveway featuring a bold diamond centrepiece, a neat charcoal border, and a complementary Indian Sandstone patio at the rear. The addition of wooden sleeper flower beds and new steps has given the garden structure and depth, while the overall design offers both practicality and visual impact. The result is a property that looks modern, cohesive, and built to last.
