Parking or driving on grass????
This is the answer, eventually with luck, seed, rain and some good weather, it becomes a hard wearing natural looking lawn that’s stable enough to drive on without getting bogged.
The panels lock together, they help to stop the ground from compacting whilst letting water through, the grass grows and can still be mowed like any other lawn. The large area spreads the weight stopping your car, boat, caravan or other equipment from sinking in or making deep grooves in the ground.
Let me know if this is something you’d like.

A Change of colour for a cheap and easy freshen up. The lady who owns this house is keen for a bright fun summer feel.
Nothing major, just paint, fly screens small jobs she wished she still had the energy to do.
I am happy to help. So if you have any jobs big or small just ask.
Paint, repair, remove, replace, fix even bodge back together with tape (maybe not) but I do try to economically repair rather than replace.

Knocked up this little verandah to keep the rain and weather off the back door (and the dog)
“No deck to small”
Call or message if I can do anything for you.

Just managed to squeeze this deck re-coating in before the rain. It was covered in moss, lichen and It was slippery when wet. Now it’s protected from the elements and will last for years.
Get in now if your deck needs some maintenance to get it looking its best.

Called out when the BBQ wouldn’t light, I couldn’t get it to go even with new batteries in the igniter. Had to use matches or a lighter.
The problem was that someone had cooked the ignition like one of uncle Bobs snags.
Got a new one and the expensive BBQ was fixed for a pittance.
Now we are cooking with gas.
Call me if your bbq needs a fix.

Nice little veranda over the back door. Before the weather would come in and the dog had no where to go if it rained and no one was home.
Now there’s a roof and the back door can stay open without any water coming in.
One happy dog.

The gate at the rental property had broken its hinge’s. The sea air has taken its toll on both the steel gate frame and the hinges. So the order of the day was make it safe and work.
A new pair of hinges and it’s fixed for now.
If you have gates that don’t open or close properly or hang crooked give me a call.

How’s this for opulence! Electric sliding gate.
This home owner found that if she parked in her driveway she couldn’t close the swinging gates, so she wanted a sliding gate. And for a little extra she went with a motor, 5 remote controls, including a keypad outside.
If you have an interest in doing something with your gates let me know.

Been a few weeks since I posted. It’s been so busy with some of the strangest stuff. But this might be of interest. I was asked about a pair of gates that would always sag and drag across the drive. They were so heavy that the post would be pulled over. Then a friend offered me a pair of gates, steel frame pine pickets, less than half the weight of the other two.
They were about 500mm narrower than the gap but that meant I could put in a better post and brace it to the other one, this meant it would resist being pulled over.
With a fresh coat of paint it looks great and both sides open and close perfectly.
If you have gate problems give me a call.
And stay tuned as next week I will post electric gates.

Another verandah that had cracked grout that was in need of a refresh.
If your tiles are looking sad and the grout cracked let me know. I can even replace cracked or broken tiles if you have spares.
