An unusual remit: get rid of the box parterre and create a sunken area to place a swedish-style wood-burning hot-tub! The client wanted the area ready for Christmas and the hot-tub was the family Christmas present.

We dug out about 16 cubic metres of soil, built a retaining wall, made a reinforced concrete hard-standing and placed shingle on top of crushed hard-core. We then man-handled the hot-tub into position ready for December 25th. The hot-tub has been used on numerous occasions throughout the year giving a huge amount of enjoyment to the client's family. All in all a great success.
