I think I'd be a bit miffed to dig up the patio to find a huge plastic bag packed under there by the shed, in years to come. Given there was other rubbish, why wasn't that also disposed of properly?
Having the water feature right at the gate is awkward positioning, and the pergola blocking the entry to shed inhibits or makes harder getting equipment in and out of it. This effort needed more though in the flow of the space. Also, the shed is an eyesore and neither it or the plant around it were touched.
The shed is for part 2 😉, I agree with you, also the ‚organic‘ form of the water feature is more than strange in this geometrical landscape. Besides, they do have to cross the humid lawn every time they go to the shed or pergola. It is not a big distance but the lawn in that corner will suffer.
Hope the chap with the hat appreciates how much time he spends on his phone in a working day as it really shows up on the video, that and his standing staring with hands on hips!!! The brickie seemed to do everything!! However, I realise, we don't see everything properly when it's time lapsed!
Nice. But my OCD would drive me crazy at the brick & white paver by the pond. The corner not lining up. Plus the pole in front of door for shed. As long as homeowner is happy, is all that counts, and not my opinion.
Looks nice - only thing, you have to walk across the grass to gain access to the other patio/pagoda/shed. I reckon some stepping stones will have to be let into the grass at a later stage. Nice job though. Thanks for sharing.
Looks greats, only thing which was not right was laying new turf down on a existing lawn even tho they put toil soil down in the summer the soil will over heat and cook to new turf

Border of pond needs taking down 2-3" all round, then slates placed on the sunken margin to hide pond liner. Lazy not to cut slabs adjacent to the pond. Lawn looked very compacted, so should have been spiked and aerated or rotovated before top soiling. One extra slab would have made walking from patio to pergola easier, rather than having to cut across lawn. Slabs seem to be laid flat (judging by jetwashing), should be a nominal fall away from house/dpc. Access to shed blocked by pergola.
Thought it needs a slab or two to the other slabbed area instead you have to walk on the grass. And they could have done the wood bit a bit bigger covered the whole area. Maybe upgraded the shed put more plants in
I don't think this has been designed very well in my opinion. The pond would've looked better away from the gate and with a stream flowing into it. If these slabs are porcelain, then I think they will also lift as I didn't see them prime the back of them before laying. Any natural slab i.e sandstone or porcelain should always be primed prior to laying, cause they will fail to stick to the cement properly, which will then cause voids underneath where water will gather then during winter it will freeze and cause the slab to lift. It also looked like they didn't put proper hard-core underneath either and just put sand over as the base. These patios won't last long before issues start. I think I would be disappointed if I had paid good money for this to be designed and landscaped.
It really is all personal preference in regards to design I thought the pond looked really well where it is, also do you lay slabs every day? I do and your comment about every natural stone slab needs to be primed is wrong yes porcelain but not sandstone I have done jobs very customers that have tried to lay a patio there selfs watched every CZcams video on the subject and used a primer so we wasn’t able to save any of the slabs when it came to lifting them as of how well they are stuck down yes that sounds good and isn’t a problem unless you want to lift some as natural stone isn’t cheap. If it’s layed on a properly prepared bed and grouted correctly not primer is needed. Also there was a patio originally down witch could of been more then sufficient base below and the landscaper did put a wet screed mix down I’m assuming he did this so the ground below didnt suck the moisture out the mortar witch is very good thing to do. Also the way he prepared the grass area was very good people need to remember these patios are for foot traffic I’m betting this patio will be fine for years to come the only thing I wouldn’t of used is the brush in resin grout but again it’s all personal preference.
@@seanmckinleylandscaping6358 as I said it was my personal opinion. Yes I have had my own business where I used to lay slabs amongst other things. Granted the part where the previous patio was might have had a sufficient base. These looked like porcelain slabs and they didn't prime/slurry the back of the slabs. I was more referring to the patio in front of the shed. I didn't see a membrane or sufficient hard-core going down. I didn't say all natural stone I specifically said porcelain and sandstone. Maybe you lay sandstone without cleaning them or priming them, but if you care to read up on the biggest fails on sandstone slabs it is due to not being cleaned, primed or solid bed. Most manufacturers recommend this prior to laying sandstone. I'm very surprised you haven't had sandstone slabs fail if you haven't. I know of quite a few that have. Yes I may be a female, but I know quite a bit about the landscaping and building industry, infact more than some males. So it's not down to me just watching CZcams videos that I have my experience 30+ years to be precise. I have quite a lot of trade skills from plastering, plumbing, tiling, brick laying etc etc so I think I can justify saying these things. Me personally, I feel the layout could've been designed a bit better. But that's my opinion. We all have different opinions.
@@janinew233 If you look at the amount of type 1 they brought in for the small patio area beside the shed looking at how much they would of had to raise that area to meet the kerbstones that they put in I’m betting that patio isn’t moving anytime soon and a geo textile membrane wouldn’t be needed if this is what you mean by membrane I’m sorry but we overthink and overcomplicate things in the building industry in general by people that think they know from sitting in an office actual experience working with the materials says different, I never assumed because your woman you didn’t work in the industry but I made that assumption from your comment as anyone who does this day in day out would Know chances are there patio is fine again we are watching a time lapses video we have no real idea what went into this. If you watch closely you see them slurry the tiles on the part beside the shed witch is definitely needed for porcelain. Also your comment about not all natural stone but specifically sandstone that needs primed is just wrong maybe if you said granite I’d agree but definitely not sandstone if it’s grouted properly and layed on a full bed this is experience talking I work with sandstone 90% of the time I have it in my own garden yet to see a slab lift up again because of the jointing method now if your using brush in grouts that are permeable then yes there’s a chance but slim if you have layed on a wet bed this is how the slab is sticking to the bed below. I don’t know what slabs you are getting but I’ve never had to clean any before installing yes clean after once it’s installed. These new CZcamsrs promoting slurry’s on absolutely everything paving material do it because they are promoting products maybe with the hope to get sponsored and the companies promoting them do it because they want to sell you a product that they say is needed on everything when it comes to paving. Also I wouldn’t need to read up on anything on the biggest fails as I do this for a living and I’m very passionate about it in fact I only install natural stone I don’t do any block paving my reasons for it are longevity and colour not fading like man made products and maintenance a simple power wash and patio looks just as good as when it was layed and it ages nicely. I’d just like to clarify there is no harm using primers it’s just the promoting of them that they are needed and almost must be used in order for a patio to be installed sufficiently and that’s just where I disagree and I have even explained this confidently to customers that layed there own using a primer and we then couldn’t save any slab I also said if one of our slabs lift then I would come back and relay the whole patio with slurry and admit defeat but that’s yet to happen. Hope it doesn’t come across that I’m being argumentative I am not speaking on things is good nice to see other people opinions and when it comes to slurry it’s a hot topic at the minute
From 06:01 you see no hardcore in area near shed then it’s the next day you see stone brought in after this point I’ve counted 14 wheel barrows they atleast have a ton of type 1 down I’m guessing there 1200mm x 600m porcelain slabs so that area is about 9m2 1ton at 10m2 is 100mm and That’s on top of the hardcore they had down already broken slabs etc then a full wet bed also you see them priming at 9:27 clearly visible I would say if the landscaper has gone through the effort to slurry these he definitely has on the other area why wouldn’t he as he has the slurry to hand? Also the video clearly skips if you watch closely so we don’t see everything and id like to put the landscaper worked hard I know what it takes to do this fair play he grafted just putting times out so people can see what they actually did patio not moving anywhere I’m sure of it
I think the construction aspect was good but the new garden was let down by poor design and weak design elements. Poor design by pond positioning, impractical gazebo structure and lawned area should have been square, no curves No real planting theme to enhance the design or garden elements or screen the fenceline. Many opportunities were missed in this project. The importance of good design cannot be underestimated I give the project 5/10. I am a Landscape Architect
the new tiles it look very slippery when get wet so i dont think that the right choices for the backyards which is no any shades or roof to cover that area. i think this is one of the poor build & design. the original tiles is look more practical then the new one.
Internet haters lol how can anyone criticise the job? If it’s paid work then surely it’s built to the homeowners specifications so what if it’s too small or lifeless to you it could be just what they wanted .....maybe we should all watch ourselves working over a few days we could be shocked by our own performance x
Thank God that the guy with the baseball hat had his phone. He would have been so bored just standing around. You other two,GREAT JOB!!!

How do you video was taken using a phone
Get off the cell phone !! Drove me crazy to see that on a work site.

Were new grass turfs laid over the old grass? Looked like it to me!
Hmm. Makes you stop and think about making plans first.

Yes 😄😄
It’s beautiful got a very middle eastern feel to it well done all x
👍🏼Nice Palm Tree 🌴
I wouldn't have thought you could get so much character in one small space.
Oh yes, in Germany I had an even smaller garden. It was so pretty (and it had everything) that it came out in a garden magazine!

Love this!
Lovely but i wouldn't have put the water feature there. I'd put it in front of the arbour.
They should remove the existing turf first and dig small foundations for the brickwork.
Beautiful.

Just wondering why the pergola doesn't cover the whole patio area? It looks awkward, and too small for the area. Otherwise I love it!
Sehr schön geworden 👍🏼
Yes, excellent indeed.
Hope matey with the phone out constantly wasn’t getting a full days money in
GREAT JOB.
It is unfair that the guy on the phone just watches the other guy graft hard. I would pay the grafter double.
Precioso 🤩
It is to bad two fellas did 90% of the work out a three man crew.
Amazing beautiful garden stay safe Godbless

Hi from Sydney Australia wow that looks beautiful good job guys bravo
Beautiful
So peaceful
Good job guys
Good job... superlike ;)
Very nice. What is the white paver you’re putting down made of?
It is called Luna sands from Pavings direct
WELL DONE
Very good, i like and subscribed
Did you slurry the backs of those white tiles before you put them down?
wow... would never hire these guys...
Me either! Now the shop is in the way 😂😂😂😂
What's the naming for the paving stone, looks really nice?
Beautiful, but I would not have put gravel around the pond but a little greenery to look a little bit natural. Otherwise good job!
Great use of the space does look good not sure if you would struggle to get things in and out of shed .
The before garden was nice. Why change it?
Just the fencing to do then!
👍😍
That shop is an eyesore, it should be in across the yard in a corner
Assalamu alaikum good sharing
Hermoso todo, menos el muro de madera, se salva un poco con las plantas altas
preferred it as it was
My Dad's tiles were an ice rink in the cold rain....
👏👏👏
Nice garden transformation. How much did it cost altogether?
Hopefully not a lot. It wqas an absolute cowboy job.
Does n e one see the magic 🎩 leaf on the wall that just won't fall?
One man doing very little !!!!!!!!!
How are they going to get into the shop ?
I would of fired the dude on phone day one. Sod over grass.... be bumpy mess soon.
pond needs some flora or is this tub?
Nice.
Shouldn’t lay new lawn over old and the pond water will be contaminated, otherwise nice job.
Nice job but strange layout

What about the planting?
Gardening seems to be lacking in a lot of these 'garden makeovers' on CZcams, just hard landscaping!
Thanks for your comment. A lot of plants had to be moved around. We have now bought few plants and have started to fill the planting area.
Designed by people who don’t know garden for people who don’t care!
Damn! That dude standing & watching with his hands on his hips! WTF!
Черный самый работящий
Looks something is missing.
They just covered a huge plastic bag, bricks and other garbage under thin soil. What a trash job.
Very nice
Job well done.
а рыбки почему не плавают !?///
Really wish the silly music wasn't there, very annoying, but the garden is amazing
I would hate to see how scratched those tiles are🙈
That pond needs some work. you can see the liner and there are no plants.
O pergolado muito alto. Preferia só luminárias.
how unimaginative😖
I think the construction aspect was good but the new garden was let down by poor design and weak design elements. Poor design by pond positioning, impractical gazebo structure and lawned area should have been square, no curves

The patio slabs will inevitably need constant cleaning and I don't like it.
You mean the "backyard"
No we dont call it that in the U.K. it’s the back garden 🙄
Yep, it’s the back Garden in the UK 🇬🇧👌🏾
haters gonna hate
The pond advisor will do a better job with that pond .. the design is alright . Not great but I guess it depends on budget
Looks like something tweakers put together in a weekend. Hope this was your personal yard and not a customers.

Absolutely shocking job. No base foundation under the tiling. cement onto grass for the grey / black blocking. Burrying plastic and rubble
