Both David and Julia had old red brick walls and concrete floors. David's path was 70's fleck tiles.

David suggested, with Julia's agreement, that we restyle and rebuild the two fronts together.

We 'undid' the two walls and took up the concrete and tiles from each side.

We used reclaimed stone bricks and copings to reconstruct both walls, both brick and coping matching the existing stonework on both houses.

Both paths and bay floors were tiled with black slate. David's bay front included a raised bed for planting and Julia's was left plain.

Reclaimed slate fire mantels were used for the front and back steps.

Rope edgings were used to denote a planting area between the two terraces.

David's raised bed was planted with a selection of appropriate low maintenance shrubs, some less common.
