Monday Paving

Monday today was good, got the paving started looks great. Finished off the base and now ready for the rebated manhole cover to be laid.  Sounds a bit boring for a blog I know but thats life in the landscapers time.
 
Still we get to see it when its all finished.
 
See you all soon!!

Sunday

today was a good day getting use to the new laptop.  Sorted two quotes, just one more to go, the biggest.
 
watched X Factor and then recorded Downton Abbey. 
 
Its Funny this must the first sunday for a long time where I have not got that sunday night feeling.
 
Must be something wrong.
 
see you all soon!!

What a weekend

Well an eventful weekend, it all statred with my desktop computer blowing up on friday, made a clicking noise and then started to smoke, first the mouse would not work then the whole thing just blew.  I had been thinking of getting a new laptop for a while so this was the decider.  So at last I am up to date, not bad for 59 year old.  Got it from Tesco gillingham lovely laptop, Acer Aspire, 6gb Ram and 750 gb memory  all the other facts and figures are over my head but it is quick.
 
Started a great job last week, a patio front and back, this one is for a family in Medway, they have a brave young lady as there daughter.  The work is for her, she was left blind in one eye and partial in the other after an horific crash she is without doubt a special and brave young lady and it is our pleasure to do the work. After montyhs of plastic surgery and other visits to hospital she has come through it all.
 
And then today Sunday my Dad would have been 93 I heard from my daughter that her cat had passed away at the top of the steps outside where he always slept.  So my dad has a new companion.
 
Looking forward to this week.     Ps I have got to get a mouse, not use to this pad thing on the laptop!
 
see you all soon!!

Decking

Another huge deck nearly completed, 93 Deck boards on this one, looks great!!  This one is in Minster Isle of Sheppey.  

Graduation

Hello I have had a good two days, took Friday off to go to the Barbican in london as my lovely Daughter Hayley was graduating she is now a Bcs(Hons) in Psychology.  She got a 2:1 which the higher class.  So proud.

And took granddaughter Amber, she will be 4 in October, shopping, she loves going shopping but what little girl doesn't.   

So a lovely weekend.  See you all soon.

 

Wooky

Keeping the Patio theme moving, we have today finished another one.  This one was for a husky breed called Malamute, his name was "wooky" great dog very friendly.  The area was 45 x 45cm light grey slabs 100 in total, channel drainage at the end, after washing down the slabs,  at the end of the paving was a large Kennel, I do mean large, complete with railings and a 8 x 4ft shed like kennel.  Great area for the dog to roam around!!  Happy roaming wooky!! 

New Products soon

Pleased that we now back on track. After a soaking week.  Looking ahead for the winter months we will have new products and great prices.  Something for all the family.

See you soon!!

Base

What a week, both of us have not only taken through the customers house 8 tonnes of ballast and sand, we have taken 80 slabs, 20 solid concrete blocks, laid steps and channel drainage, laid the concrete base to take all the slabs, got wet two days on the trot.  What a week!!.  All ready now for the laying of the slabs on Monday.  

Husky

Hello a great week.  Finished a huge garden in Rainham on Friday, the main product was Astro Turf, all 32 metres of it. Looks great see the picture on the site home page.  The brickwall around the pond was built by Neil Pocock my second in command.  A great job Neil.  The weather played its part last week and this week coming we are in Chatham laying a patio.  The customer has a huge dog, a husky I think, his head is up to waist.  But I have told he is lovely, I say he it might be a she, guess I will find out tomorrow.  Still being a husky it might help us pull the materials through to the garden.  Anyone got a sleigh I can borrow.   See you soon!!
