Creating a Large Garden Bar with WC and Decking in Bangor
1. Project Overview
Located in the heart of Bangor, this family garden was transformed from a plain lawn into a stylish and functional outdoor living space. The homeowners wished to elevate their garden aesthetics and usability, making it perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.
2. Client Goals & Challenges
- Modernise the space with a contemporary finish.
- Enhance usability for family and guests.
- Include low-maintenance elements with durable materials.
- Overcome level unevenness and shade from adjoining properties.
3. Our Approach
- Initial Consultation & Design
On-site survey to assess sunlight, drainage and topography. - Collaborated with the family to pinpoint desired features: seating area, borders, and hidden storage.
- Presented visual layout options, balancing practical flow and aesthetic cohesion.
- Preparation & Groundwork
- Cleared existing turf, leveled the ground, and installed proper drainage.
- Built recessed sleeper borders to define zones.
- Laid a sub-base and compacted hardcore for long-term stability.
✅ Key Installations
Grey composite decking, chosen for its weather-resistance and maintenance-free finish.
Artificial grass, providing a lush, evergreen look without mowing.
Discreet storage box integrated under seating for garden implements.
Solar-powered LED light strips along deck edges for atmospheric evenings.
Planted native shrubs along the boundary, adding privacy and greenery.
4. Materials & Features
- Decking Premium-grade grey composite
- Lawn 35 mm pile artificial grass
- Borders & Steps Weather-treated sleepers
- Lighting Solar LED strip lighting
- Planting Western red cedar timber planter with evergreens
5. The Transformation
Before entry was a flat, overgrown grass area with no structure. Following our work, the space now features a structured layering: a raised decking “stage” for socialising and dining, bordered by manicured lawn and greenery. The result is a sleek, contemporary garden that feels bigger and more usable.
6. Results & Client Feedback
✅ Visual appeal: Striking contrast between light and dark finishes created a modern aesthetic.
✅ Low maintenance: No mowing, seeding, or frequent repairs – ideal for busy homeowners.
✅ Built for all seasons: Solar lighting ensures the garden shines from day through night.
