Shire Lodge, Preston, Lancashire – Boundary Walls & Landscaping Transformation
At JJones & Co, we take pride in delivering high-quality brickwork and landscaping solutions tailored to both functionality and aesthetics. One of our standout projects was at Shire Lodge, Preston, Lancashire, where we were entrusted with making the exterior of the property as safe and practical as possible, while maintaining a seamless, high-end finish.
Project Overview
This was a full start-to-finish project, where we managed every aspect, including:
- Labour & Materials – We supplied all the required materials and an experienced workforce.
- Drainage & Excavation – Ensuring proper water management and structural integrity.
- Plant Hire & Muck Away – Efficient waste removal and site management.
By carefully selecting materials and executing precise craftsmanship, we delivered a project that not only enhanced the property’s appearance but also improved its longevity and structural stability.
Boundary Walls – Strength & Aesthetics Combined
A key element of the project was the construction of large boundary walls, ensuring security, durability, and a seamless match with the property.
- Material Choice – We sourced the exact same bricks as the house and used a recessed joint finish to maintain a consistent look.
- Scale of the Build – Over 40,000 bricks were used in the walls, showcasing the scale and precision of our craftsmanship.
- Footing & Concrete Work – Our team handled excavation, footing installation, and concrete pouring using our own plant and machinery for complete quality control.
Finishing Touches – The client requested a double tile crease and brick-on-edge finish, adding both aesthetic appeal and durability.
Hard Landscaping & Patio Installation
Beyond brickwork, we carried out extensive groundworks and preparation for a 300m² porcelain patio, creating a premium outdoor space designed for long-term use.
- Blockwork Planters – Custom-built planters featuring hidden drainage for efficient water management.
- Integrated Seating – Stylish seating areas in front of the planters, offering both function and design.
Premium Porcelain Paving – Durable, weather-resistant, and visually striking, enhancing the outdoor space.
