Latest job for a lovely couple in Belper.
The customer struggles with balance issues and areas of the garden were either hard to get around or hard to maintain. We cleared overgrown areas and added w**d membrane and covered in slate . We added new boundary fencing and some shallow steps and paving to help with access.
We removed the old broken/damaged greenhouse and installed a new one. In addition we replaced the entire roof of the shed including roof bearers with new thicker bearers,18mm ply and rubber roof with correct trims

Latest project . Completely rotten and dangerous decking up. Area prepared and buff stepping stone patio laid with gravel infill. We filled the gaps with top soil before membrane and gravel added. Customer planning to add some plants and grasses to make a living patio . Look forward seeing the results. In addition we added a new secure heavy duty garden gate.

Nice to see when customers put their own stamp on projects we have completed . A recent sleeper bed we created now planted up and looking lovely and will be amazing when in full bloom! 👌🏼

Our latest project working for a customer who had his plan ready for us. I’m sure we did it justice. We removed old fencing, rotted decking and turf. We constructed a new timber frame that we fully waterproofed. Which we finished with charcoal black composite decking and matching trim. We added Venetian panelling which we painted urban slate grey (garden shades) and a new 8ft by 6ft shed painted slate grey also. We prepared the central area and created a porcelain paved picture frame with black grout lines. This was finished with 40mm elite artificial grass.

Another visit to a regular customer to add a composite decked area.
We changed the last few panels of fencing to composite after changing the majority last month. The disused shed has gone and now a charcoal black composite deck area opens up the area for a great outdoor space.

The middle area was back filled, covered with w**d membrane and finished with black ice gravel . The top area was laid to graphite grey composite decking in two tiers with lots of steps!

🎈🥳 SwiftScape is 10!! 🥳🎈
10 years ago today Andy made the incredibly bold step of starting up his own business. Neither of us knew what to expect or whether it would succeed. We’ve absolutely had our challenges, multiple house moves, a baby, a wedding, the most crazy weather, a global pandemic and a chopped off finger to contend with but here we are! 😂
If you know Andy you will know he is the most hardworking, selfless man, nothing he ever does is for himself but for his family.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years, our friends, family, suppliers and accountant, and to our amazing customers. We are also so grateful for our team of staff who work incredibly hard so thanks to all, past and present.
Most of all thank you Andy, there aren’t enough words to say how proud I am of you and the life you have built for us. Here’s to the next 10 years. I love you # # # Becky # # #

A quick little project for us again involving drainage issues. A concrete pad that was a collection point for water was broken up and removed. We then added a treated timber frame which we finished with graphite grey composite decking and a matching trim
Suppliers FINCH Composite Decking

In this project we tried to rectify drainage issues that are a common occurrence in new build gardens. We removed the lawn and paving and excavated down by 150mm. We added gravel and sand and new top soil to help with drainage before laying a new lawn. We layed a large patio area using 900mm by 600mm roca grey porcelain with dark grey grout lines. We used old pavers to create a shed base with porcelain stepping stones from the new patio to the proposed shed. The garden was finished with decorative limestone gravel. Slabs provided by Royale Stones, turf from talbot_turf and aggregates and grabs provided by Bosworth Grab Hire

Our latest project involved real blood, sweat and tears!
Removed and old dangerous rotted decking area. We then added a new treated decked frame which we then waterproofed to protect. The decked area was constructed using black composite decking with matching trim, composite newel post with matching rails and Spindles. We added deeper steps with a lower rise for safety . Timber was supplied by and decking supplied by

Out with the old rotted raised beds and replaced with new blocked bed with gravel drainage. The bed was finished with grey split face tiles and basalt porcelain coping..

When I’m not busy with the team landscaping your gardens, my lovely wife is putting my Handy Andy skills to the test by doing some DIY at home and getting me to change our little loft access! I have used a much bigger, more practical loft hatch with a pull down ladder. This will make it a much more accessible place for storage. I just need to finish the look with some architraves and once we have redecorated it will look really smart.

Becky Swift

Our latest project involved a lovely doggy called Ralph. Well I say it involved, more like he is the reason for the makeover as it needed to be dog proof as he had terrorised the garden. So we cleared trees, grass, old paving and soil. We added a treated deck frame and finished with mocha deck boards and a matching trim. We cleaned the existing walling up and prepared the area with aggregate and drainage channels. The area was paved with fossil mint Indian sandstone and a stone grey grout line.

This is our latest project in between working for our wonderful customers, a shed in my garden. After trying to source a decent shed it occurred to us that many were overpriced and made from poor quality materials. So with the help of my great reliable timber suppliers, my fabulous team and my beautiful wife Becky on the paint brush, I decided to build one from scratch. I made it to the dimensions I wanted, to reach my expectations of quality. I’m really pleased with the result and if there’s an earthquake it’s where I’m going!

Super happy for our boy Connor who passed his driving test yesterday! What a month you’re having, well done mate!

Wow! What a journey! After 6 weeks on our latest project and over 100 tonnes of materials added, we have finally finished this garden and we definitely think it was worth the wait.
We removed the lawn, planting, two trees, rooted sleepers and bottom fence panels. We added concrete fence panels and retainers, sleeper walls with galvanised steel posts.
We created a higher fencing area using decorative Venetian panelling. A treated deck frame was added with extra support to house the summer house. We finished the deck with graphite grey composite boards and trim. We added various aggregates to level up the land but not compromise drainage. This area was finished with top soil and fresh new turf. We created a large paving area with separate paths and a secured area for the dog using silver grey 900mm by 600mm porcelain. This was finished with dark grey grout lines and split faced tile fascias. In addition we added more raised beds and all were fitted with w**d control membrane and finished with black ice decorative gravel. On the decking we built a summer house with anthracite upvc windows and door, painted in cream timber care. Outside the summer house we built a bespoke bench with sleepers, treated timbers, gabion mesh and panda pebbles.
To finish the look we added a Venetian panel fence and gate to the separate the dogs area from the main garden, we constructed a pergola and stainless steel drain covers .
In addition a shed base and shed was erected adjacent to the garage.
