Porcelain Paving, Timber Beds & a Clean, Low-Maintenance Finish
This full garden renovation in Midlothian focused on balancing clean design with practical features for everyday use. We installed custom timber flower beds, porcelain paving with block edging, bin screening with hedging, and lighting to make the space both functional and stylish. The final result is a modern outdoor space with smart details and long-term usability.
Project Details & Materials
This garden in Midlothian was a full renovation from the ground up. The client wanted a clean, modern layout with defined zones for seating, planting, and storage.
We incorporated raised timber beds, porcelain paving, and slate edging to give the garden structure and flow. The end result is a smart, functional space built for everyday use and long-term value.
Porcelain slabs for main patio and paths
Slate block edgers to frame paved areas
Treated timber used to create raised flower beds
Gravel pathway with porcelain stepping slabs
Hedging and timber screens to conceal bins
Outdoor lighting installed to enhance visibility and mood
We built raised timber beds and installed porcelain paving edged with slate blocks for contrast and definition.
Down the side of the house, we created a gravel path with spaced porcelain stepping slabs — a practical, modern solution that works well in narrow spaces.
The bin area was screened off and softened with hedging for a tidy, seamless finish.
We also fitted outdoor lighting to bring the garden to life in the evenings.
Despite the detail involved, everything came together smoothly and was completed within the planned timeframe.
