Garden Renovation in Petts Wood: Planning a Full Makeover

A full garden makeover in Petts Wood means clearance, levelling, paving, fencing, lawns and planting — under one contractor. Here's how we plan and sequence a BR6 renovation.

Garden Renovation in Petts Wood: Planning a Full Makeover

Why Petts Wood gardens need a full-plan approach

Petts Wood's 1930s semis and larger family plots around BR6 often arrive at a renovation with the same list of problems: an uneven lawn, a tired patio, failing fencing, and planting that's outgrown its space. Tackling each in isolation — a paver one month, a fencer the next — leaves you with a garden where nothing quite sits together. A full renovation under one contractor fixes that.

The Rubin Constructions renovation sequence

  1. Design visit — we walk the garden, agree what stays and what goes, and produce a clear, itemised plan and fixed quote.
  2. Clearance & ground — old features, waste and poor soil come out; the ground is levelled and drainage prepared.
  3. Build phase — paving, fencing, structures and lawns go in, in the right order, by our own team.
  4. Planting & handover — planting, final clean-down and a walk-through so the garden is ready to enjoy.

What a full makeover typically includes

  • Clearance, waste removal and soil import/export
  • Ground levelling and drainage
  • A porcelain or sandstone patio
  • Close-board or slatted fencing on concrete posts
  • Artificial grass or turf, and sleeper raised beds
  • Planting and, where wanted, a pergola or garden structure

One contractor, one standard

The advantage isn't just convenience — it's consistency. Every element is built to the same premium standard and designed to sit with the next, so the finished Petts Wood garden reads as one design rather than a patchwork.
