A three-month garden redesign in Bidford-on-Avon with a new soakaway, patios, paths and turf, plus a bespoke 8m x 6m brick-built golf simulator.

Having just moved into his home in Bidford-on-Avon, our client inherited a garden with serious problems. Poor drainage was flooding the patio in wet weather, the lawn was muddy and mossy, and two old sheds were close to the end of their life. As a keen golfer, he also wanted somewhere to play at home. Over three months, we redesigned the entire garden, starting with a new soakaway to fix the drainage, followed by a 4m tall brick-built golf simulator, new patios, paths, sleepers and turf, plus a new block paved driveway at the front of the property.

Our client had just moved in, and the garden had major issues. Poor drainage meant that during wet spells, water flooded onto the patio and towards the house, raising real concerns about damage to the property.
Most of the garden was muddy, mossy turf, and the two old sheds were not going to last much longer. On top of fixing the basics, our client, a keen golfer, wanted a way to play golf at home all year round, and that is why he called Plex.
To tackle the drainage, we installed a soakaway in the centre of the main garden, giving surface water somewhere to go instead of pooling against the house. Both existing fences were replaced, improving access and clearly defining the working area for the build.
We designed a 4m tall, 8m x 6m brick-built golf simulator, secured planning approval from the council, and had the plans for the rest of the hardscaping signed off. At the front of the property, the old driveway was removed and replaced with new block paving.

The project ran over three months. The first month covered the foundations, the concrete base for the simulator and the soakaway installation.
Brickwork then began on the simulator itself, taking four weeks from the first course through to the finished EPDM rubber roof. With the simulator complete, we installed the patios, paths, sleepers and new turf to finish the transformation.
Our client now has a garden that stays dry in even the wettest conditions, with no more water flooding the patio or threatening the house. The new patios, paths and lawn have turned a muddy, unusable space into somewhere he can genuinely enjoy.
The centrepiece is the golf simulator: a solid, brick-built building that lets him play day or night, whatever the weather, and is built to last for generations.

From the initial meeting to the final clear up Patrick and Luke were unfailingly polite and professional. Patrick’s quotation for the work was sensible with a detailed breakdown. The work was started on time and was kept to time. The resulting terracing exceeded expectations and the work area was left cleaner than when the team arrived. I cannot thank Patrick, Luke and Jake enough for all their work and would have no hesitation in recommending PLEX Group.
It has been a pleasure having Plex work with me on my garden project. Totally engaged, very communicative and prompt. Access to my property is difficult but they just worked around any problems with a refreshing 'can do' attitude. I would happily recommend Plex to anyone working on a garden project.
Fantastic work and would highly recommend. The team were professional, friendly, considerate, hard working and flexible to ensure the works met our needs and expectations. Really nice team to have on site and were respectful and kept it as tidy as they could. Very impressed with the work and looking to get them to come back to do a couple of other jobs for us in the future.
I am really happy with the work that Plex did. They came up with solutions to problems that arose quickly, efficiently and without any stress. They were friendly, professional, organised, efficient and had excellent communication.
We have recently had a new garage installed from the Plex team and we are thrilled with the finished product. Can't thank Patrick Luke and their team enough. Would highly recommend.
I would highly recommend Luke and Patrick and their team. They are all extremely polite and hard-working. They put up a new pergola in our back garden and tidied up the edges of the garden. An excellent job.
Patrick, Luke and their team have transformed our sloped garden giving us a lovley functional space. They removed a hedge sadly over run with brambles with a fence gaining us a couple more meters of garden too! Despite having a week of rain they did their best to clear up at the end of the job. We would highly recommend this professional team.
Luke and Patrick have completed two projects for us now. They are the most polite and professional people with a hardworking team of individuals. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
Luke and his team are really lovely and professional. Cannot recommend him enough.
Luke and the team are absolutely brilliant. A passion for what they do and personal but professional, so pleased to have found them!
Really pleased with the concrete base for my carport that was completed by the team , worked really hard in poor weather conditions . Great job would definitely recommend the team .
Our garden has never looked better - hard-working, thorough, and also great at getting in touch if there's a change to the schedule, etc. They have nursed our box hedging back to health. Before and and after photos are a bonus!
Competitive price wise even though the work carried out was to a very high standard. I was very pleased with the end result and impressed with the tidiness they left the garden after all the work was carried out. A very happy customer!
Very obliging and efficient we have worked out a schedule that suits us both.

Ivy roots into the core of a drystone wall and forces the stones apart, and pulling it off makes the damage worse. Plex Group explains what is happening and the right way to fix it across the Cotswolds.
