Custome built gate and fence replacement kidlington
Another job completed for a customer in Kidlington! We replaced the old, barely hanging-on gate with a custom-built, stronger gate, fully oak-stained for a sleek, durable finish. Check out the before and after pictures to see the transformation! While we were at it, we also swapped out the old fence panel, giving the entire area a fresh, upgraded look.
Decking replacement in kidlington
We started off by ripping out some old, worn-out decking from a sloping garden in Kidlington (the kind that really makes you question your knees), and replaced it with a custom-built decking area. The new frame and decking are now sturdy and ready to withstand whatever the garden throws at it. 💪
All of this hard work was carefully supervised by our feathered foreman, The Inspector Robin, who made sure we were sticking to the highest standards (bird code, of course).
See if you can spot him in the photos — he’s always on the lookout!

double slatted large pergola.
We built this stunning pergola for a customer in Bicester, Oxford. The large pergola was designed to fit seamlessly around the customer’s existing decking area, requiring 6 posts for added support. To provide extra shade due to the strong sunlight in the garden, the customer chose double slats across the top. The result is a beautiful, functional outdoor feature that enhances the space perfectly!
house mounted pergola.
We built this Pergola in Kidlington to the customer’s exact size and shape requirements. Due to its positioning, we mounted the back to the wall and used 2 posts at the front for support. The pergola features single slats on top, chosen to suit the sun positioning in this area of the garden. To ensure durability, all posts are 1 foot deep into the ground, providing extra support and sturdiness for a long-lasting outdoor feature.
Decking Refurbishment!
We completed a decking refurb in Oxford for a walkway used by 4 flats. Over time, the decking had endured significant wear and tear and started to rot. We carefully ripped up each deck board and replaced them with much thicker and more durable decking boards. The walkway now looks completely transformed and is built to last for many years to come! A strong, reliable upgrade for the community.
