Rebuilding a Broken Front Garden in Morningside
A tired Morningside front yard rebuilt as an entertaining space — regraded levels, a firm hoggin path, grey pavers, river pebbles and railway sleepers set on concreted posts.

This Morningside front garden was doing very little for the house it belonged to. Broken concrete covered most of the usable area, and an uneven lower lawn met the street at an awkward step. Franc Landscapes stripped it back, regraded the site so the levels flowed from footpath to door, and rebuilt the whole space as an entertaining area. A compacted GAP 20 base sits under the new surfaces, with grey pavers underfoot, a pale hoggin path softening the approach and river pebbles marking the entrance. Railway sleepers, secured to concreted posts, hold the levels and edge the beds. Filmed with Central Landscape Supplies, who supplied the materials, Kevin talks through the build and what stays hidden beneath it.
