Great work, expertly done, by a friendly and reliable team. Couldn't have been better. Would recommend these guys without reservation.

Miles Craven April 23, 2023

I recently had Home and Garden Project fit a new patio in my backyard, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! From start to finish, they were fantastic. The crew were on time, hard working and incredibly polite, which made the family feel at ease. The materials they used were top-notch, giving me a patio that's not only stunning but also sturdy. I highly recommend Home and Garden.

Nick Bennett February 15, 2023

I recently had the pleasure of working with Home and Garden Project to install new fencing in my garden, and I must say that the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the initial consultation to the final installation, their team displayed professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to delivering outstanding results.

Harrison Turner September 22, 2022

Absolutely pleasure to have these guys working for me. Punctual, courteous and the workmanship couldn't be bettered.

Extension & Renovation update Here’s an update on our extension and renovation project, after a few material hold ups, the roof, fascia and soffits are pretty much done. The interior is almost ready for plaster board and the electric and plumbing 1st fix is complete. The under floor heating will be down in the next week, then the floor will be screeded. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #firstfix #insulation

A little bit of everything The boys have been hard at work on this landscaping project and, we’ve had a bit of everything to do. We began by putting in a new feather edge fence to create 2 parts to the garden and replaced the old feather edge fence down the far side of the garden. We then dug a new soak away and levelled the area for slabbing. We laid 90 square metres of light brontë Indian sandstone and put in drainage integrated into one end. Finally we left a French drain border around a portion of the patio and turfed the whole garden, leaving one bit out for a future fire pit. Mead Plant & Grab always there for the heavy machinery. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #featheredgefence #indiansandstone #slabbing #lightbronteindiansandstone #frenchdrainborder #turf

Old and new, what a privilege to work on these projects. It’s been an absolute privilege to work on this grade 2 star listed property and help the owners to preserve and future proof this incredible late 15th early 16th century building. The job entailed taking up the old (but modern in relation to the age of the property) concrete floor and terra forma below to allow for insulation and underfloor heating. This will allow the house to breathe and stay damp free to allow the 500+ year old timbers to survive for centuries to come. Also, a long overdue update on our extension and renovation project. We now have the majority of the tiles on the roof and windows and doors to match the fascia. The stud work is now constructed inside and the ‘fun’ job of insulating has begun 🥵. Enjoy the sunny weekend and COME ON ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 tomorrow. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #grade2starproperty #15thcentury #underfloorheating #rooftiles #doorsandwindows

Nice addition to the garden room. Great work from everyone along the way to complete this latest landscaping project. We began digging out and putting down a layer of hardcore before building and securing the pergola. We then slabbed around the garden room and finished the front edge with the same slabs. Grouted and some topsoil to neaten the edges completed the job. Hopefully we get more weather like this week and the customers can enjoy it throughout the summer. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #pergola #gardenroom #indiansandstone #slabbing #summerready

It’s been a while It’s been a while since we’ve done a pergola and slabbing, but it’s taking shape nicely. We removed an old brick base, levelled and hardcored the area, so we could build and concrete in this pergola. We got a good chunk of the slabs done, leaving a little to lay tomorrow. Then we will be feathering in the front edge of the slabbed area to the lawn with soil and turf. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #pergola #gardenroom #indiansandstone #slabbing

Out with the old in with the new. Nice little job to finish the week off, replacing some very rotten sleepers and creating a little planting area. We put in additional support posts, the old sleepers were only held up by 2 concrete posts. To ensure the sleepers last longer than 5 years (yes the old sleepers were only 5/6 years old!), we ensured a larger area behind the sleepers, was left to put membrane and stone for drainage. In addition to this the sleepers purchased have been pressure treated to increase longevity. Finally, a bit of metal border edge was put in to create a planter area behind the sleeper wall. Happy Friday everyone! #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #sleeperretainingwall #rottensleepers #borderedge #outwiththeoldinwiththenew

Storm ready fence, ready for any tornado! This storm ready metal fencing can withstand gusts of wind up to 130mph, so they should hold up to anything the British weather can throw at it. We were asked to find and match the existing metal fence, so we could move and extended it to the new boundary. Let’s hope we don’t start getting tornados, well at least this fence will still be standing. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #stormreadymetalfence #metalfence #fencing

What a S#*t hole It’s all got to go somewhere and this septic tank will hide it all away. As well as getting the septic tank and pipes ready, we also dug out a new soak away with the plastic crates. The extension and renovation project is now weather proofed with membrane and batons, good job with the weather we’ve been having recently. Big thank you to @bendouglasroofing for doing the dormer window flat roofs. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #lovealocaljob #timberwork #roofstrip #handcutroof #dji #dronepics #wrapped #feltandbaton #soakaway #septictank #shithole

That should stop those stones. Although the weather has been a bit on and off, the boys have done a great job to get this done today. We are putting in a section of block paves at the front of these driveways. It looks really smart compared to just having stone up to the kerb and, helps prevent stone spilling on to the road. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #cambridgedriveways #blockpave #borderedge #stopthosestones

Nearly ready for some tiles The new opening for the staircase has been cut out along with some of the velux windows. The main roof structure is almost complete just the dormers left to get ready before we can membrane and baton. Really good push this week from everyone @j.p.mcnally_carpentry1 a lot of progress made. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #lovealocaljob #timberwork #roofstrip #steel #handcutroof #veluxready #dji #dronepics

Up on the roof A lot of work has been done since our last update on this extension and renovation project. The steel for the roof went in late last week and we’ve begun the timber work for the roof. Hope the weather is kind to us so we can get it done (I’ve just jinxed us). More updates to follow. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #lovealocaljob #timberwork #roofstrip #steel #handcutroof #dji #dronepics

Turf ready for summer Gardens in Haverhill can be notorious for having a lot of clay and no one likes leather jackets, put these 2 together and you have a recipe for a rubbish lawn. We have been called to one of the new developments to help sort their garden. Firstly, we dug out and levelled the garden, removing between 4 and 8 inch’s of clay. We then put back a mix of sharp sand and topsoil, for added drainage and a top layer of topsoil before laying the turf. We put in a 500mm wide plater either side, using some landscaping baton. Once the roots are established, it should be a great area to enjoy this summer. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #turf #leatherjackets #grass #grassforthesummer

Off with the roof, down with the floor boards. Lots has been done since our last update and probably most obvious, the roof is off! The floor joists over the new extensions have been put up and we have begun laying the floor boards. Once the rest of the floor boards have been glued and screwed we can crack on with the timber structure and create the new layout. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #demolishwork #stripout #lovealocaljob #timberwork #roofstrip #floorboards #joists #roofoff

I hate brambles! We are back at an old job we started a couple of years ago, but the customer is now at a stage to get the garden completed. The site was in need of a complete clean up because the brambles had taken over the garden. We had ‘fun’ getting a mini digger down the side of the house and up the garden using a series of ramps to get to the third tier. We have levelled the top tier of the garden in preparation for footings so a retaining wall/ planters can be built and rendered. Plenty to do and we have the front of the property to tackle as well, stay tuned for more updates. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #ihatebrambles #levelling

Happy Easter Happy Easter everyone hope you’re enjoying the bank holiday!! We got Bruce’s garden ready yesterday for an Easter egg hunt today. We put bark down to create a little wild garden walk way (great place to hide eggs) and made the pond child safe by reusing an old fence.

Latest project update. It was good to have all hands on deck today, at this project, it’s been a while. A bit of a change from our last update, most notably the timber structure and scaffolding. The boys have really made progress with the chippy work, and blocking up old doorways and windows or creating new ones. We also took down one side of the roof, in preparation for building the new roof, to tie into the extension. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #demolishwork #stripout #lovealocaljob #concretepour #oversite #timberwork #roofstrip #dji #dronepics

No oversight with the oversite. The oversite has been prepared with hardcore, blinding of sand, damp proof membrane and finally the concrete pour. Around the exterior of the extension, we back filled and added hardcore, for a mud free and solid surface to work on and for the scaffolding. Timber work and interior strip out to follow. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #demolishwork #stripout #lovealocaljob #concretepour #drainage #oversite

What a waste Just an update on our latest project, the waste and drainage pipes are now in and the soak away has been filled and covered. @bert_89 has completed the block and brick work brilliant as always. The over site has been filled with hardcore ready for a blinding of sand and the DCM. Concrete arrives tomorrow for the over site then the timber work can begin. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #demolishwork #stripout #soakaway #lovealocaljob #concretepour #footingspoured #drainage #oversite

So satisfying We poured the footings for the extension and renovation project this week. It is always so satisfying, watching the concrete run through and fill up the trench (sad I know)! We have also started putting in the drainage and finishing off the soak away. On track to begin laying blocks and up-cycled bricks, taken from the old extension we ripped down, as a base for the new timber structure extension. Thank you @cardinalisconcrete great service, they phoned to ask if we wanted the concrete earlier, so we were all done half an hour before they were meant to turn up 👌🏻. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #demolishwork #stripout #soakaway #lovealocaljob #concretepour #satisfyingvideo #footingspoured

New Renovation & Extension Project And so a new project begins and probably one of my favourite parts, breaking stuff, well some stuff! We are saving as many of the bricks as possible for the extension. This project consists of a new extension to the side and back of the property and renovating the inside of the old part. We’ve been busy this week, already taking down the utility room, the old extension at the back of the property and dug the soak away. Who else would we get a digger and dumper off of course @Mead Plant & Grab. Lots more updates to follow as the project progresses. #homeandgardenproject #cambridgedecking #cambridgefencing #cambridgegroundworks #cambridgelandscapers #cambridgepatios #cambridgerenovators #cambridgenewbuilds #cambridgeextensions #demolishwork #stripout #soakaway #lovealocaljob
