Small Garden Modernisation  | Wymondham, Norfolk

What was done

This compact rear garden in Wymondham was reworked to make the most of a tight space. The team laid a run of ocean grey porcelain paving finished with a contrasting natural slate sett border, creating a crisp, low-maintenance surface that runs from the house out toward the lawn. A timber raised sleeper bed was built along the boundary fence and filled with soil ready for planting, and drainage channels were installed to manage surface water and keep the new paving dry underfoot.

The finished look

The result is a simple but effective layout that lifts the whole garden. The pale grey porcelain sits neatly against the dark slate edging for a clean, modern contrast, while the raised sleeper bed adds warmth and a ready-made spot for planting. With a tidy lawn alongside the paving, the space now feels usable and well defined rather than awkward and unfinished. A smart example of how thoughtful garden landscaping can make a small plot work hard.
