At RDLG Joinery & Renovations Ltd, we take pride in transforming outdoor spaces into beautiful, functional areas that our clients can enjoy year-round. Recently, we had the opportunity to build a stone decking and lay down paths in an established lawn for a customer. The project also included the construction of a wooden gazebo with a felt roof on the raised decking, providing a sheltered area to relax, regardless of the weather. Here’s a detailed look at how we executed this project, showcasing our craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Initial Consultation and Design

The project began with an in-depth consultation to understand the customer’s vision. They wanted a raised stone decking with a wooden gazebo, along with paths laid in their established lawn. We discussed the design, materials, and specific requirements to ensure that every detail was tailored to their needs.

Building the Stone Decking

The first phase of the project involved constructing the stone decking. This required precise planning and execution to ensure a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing foundation for the gazebo.

Stone Decking Construction

  • Site Preparation: We cleared the area and prepared the ground for the stone decking, ensuring a level surface.
  • Laying the Stones: High-quality stones were carefully selected and laid down to form a durable and attractive decking.
  • Sealing and Finishing: The stones were sealed to protect them from the elements and to enhance their natural beauty.

  • Laying the Stones: Stones were laid down with precision, taking care to preserve the integrity of the surrounding grass.
  • Finishing Touches: Edging and finishing touches were added to create a polished look.

Constructing the Wooden Gazebo

The highlight of the project was the construction of a wooden gazebo on the raised stone decking. We employed Robert’s extensive knowledge of carpentry and expertise in building precision wooden structures to deliver a sturdy and beautiful outdoor area. Gazebo Construction

  • Framework Construction: A solid wooden framework was built, providing the structural foundation for the gazebo.
