The garden was very long but also narrow with a horrible wire mesh fence, the only thing between them and their neighbours.
The brief was to create a space that they could feel comfortable in on the few days off that they have and also Sue said a 'pond to play in' for Colin.
The couple were getting married so the garden would have to wait for a few months and Shadows received a call in March 2011 to give the go ahead for work to begin.
The first and most daunting task was to maneuver all of the equipment and materials through the terraced house and past a large aquarium.
The 6ft fencing had to be brought in as 3ft tall sections instead as the doors and stairs made it impossible to have 6ft panels delivered.
So 47 2.4m long sleepers, 32 3ftx6ft fence panels, 45 decking boards, 6 8ft posts, 15bags of sand, 5 bags cements, 17 fence posts and 1 ton of shingle and all the smaller items went through.
Work began amongst the mountains of materials.
Below are pictures of the before and after along with some of the 3D design work that was done on the raised pond feature.
