December 2010: Best Patio Transformation under £5000

In December of this year we entered one of our patio transformations into the Marshalls regional competitions. All of the Marshalls Registered contractors can put forward their installations into these competitions. On the 11th December 2010 Marshalls hosted a big meeting where all of the contractors where invited to discuss new products, landscaping ideas and much more. This is also where they announce the winners of their competitions. It was with great pleasure that we accepted the award for best patio transformation under £5000.

We installed Marshalls Natural Slate paving in Midnight blue creating a patio area. We also installed Marshalls Livinglites which lit up the whole garden at night making the patio look spectacular.

Other items we installed included:

⇒ Oak timber pergola
⇒ Hardwood decking
⇒ Rock and water feature
⇒ Rockery
⇒ Raised sleeper beds
⇒ Planting of trees and pants in low maintenance borders
⇒ Decorative bark and slate chippings
⇒ L E D lighting to light up the pond area and the planting
⇒ A circular lawn edged with cobbles

We also received an award for being on the Marshalls Register for 10 years.

"Plus it doesn't matter if we all know plants are better value. I'd make the point of this to the customer but if they want trough grown at the extra cost that's their choice I'd just do it"

"I've done 5ft Thorne troughs. Very easy to plant just got a mini digger dug the trench then drop them in couldn't be easier however £250 per m does seem expensive. "

Thought I'd sign up to this forum. And I hope I'm allowed to post stuff for sale on here as this will be a one off? I have for sale a tiny pro robot, it's not the new edition but it's the bigger one of the two. If anyone is interested then please…
