When it comes to home renovations, the garden often serves as the cherry on top. While we all recognise that first impressions matter, it’s easy to overlook the outdoor space after pouring time, energy, and finances into the interior. Unfortunately, a neglected garden can detract from your Norfolk cottages overall charm, with broken or rotting fence panels, moss-covered patios, and poorly planned layouts creating a less-than-inviting atmosphere.
At Norfolk Coast and Country Building and Renovations, we understand the profound impact a well-designed garden can have on your home. It’s not just about aesthetics; it's about creating a serene space for enjoying those lazy summer mornings and warm evenings. Thats why we believe that transforming your garden is the ultimate touch for Norfolk Cottages.
Take, for instance, our recent project with Alex, who owns a beautiful seaside family holiday home in Brancaster, North Norfolk. His large garden had seen better days, suffering from damaged fencing and overgrown borders after heavy rains. As a long-time customer of Norfolk Coast and Country, Alex entrusted us as key holders while he was away. In March 2024, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. We replaced the broken fencing, installed raised flower beds, repaired an existing dog run, installed a new gravel drive and even built a bespoke wood store, breathing new life into his garden. Keeping Alex up to date with progress along the way meant that he was able to make any changes he needed as the project progressed. “The whole family will benefit from this during the warmer weather” he said “Being kept updated with progress was great, its hard to find a company more communicative than Norfolk Coast & Country Building & Renovations”
Further along the Norfolk coast, Rachel, who has a home in Burnham Market, reached out to us with a vision for her outdoor space. She wanted a pagoda for shade, a new decked patio for entertaining, and an outdoor shower—perfect for rinsing off after long days at the beach. We were thrilled to bring her dream to life. “The pagoda is perfect, we can’t wait to sit out there this summer. It's the perfect finishing touch to our holiday home.”
Colin from Holme also sought our expertise for his garden, requesting a new patio and hard landscaping enhancements. “Thoroughly reliable company” were his comments.
Transforming your garden can be the ultimate touch for your Norfolk cottage, as was the case for Sarah, who asked us to lay a path and shingle to create an easy-to-maintain garden, as part of her Norfolk cottage renovations in South Creake, a private patio area was added to serve as the
perfect spot for leisurely breakfasts or morning coffees. “This is a home I look forward to spending my time in” she said “ It was a good day when I met Adrian from Norfolk Coast & Country Building & Renovations. The team are a great bunch of lads, so polite, nothing was too much trouble & Adrian & Michaela kept me updated with progress as we went along and any issues were quickly resolved”
Lastly, in Heacham, holiday homeowner Nick wanted to prepare his Norfolk Cottage garden for summer guests. We laid a stunning new patio, ensuring their outdoor space was ready to welcome visitors. “ Adrian and the team renovated our bathroom for us last year and this year we did not hesitate in calling them back to build our patio, a talented bunch of chaps, the service they offer is second to none”
As we approach the summer of 2025, we invite you to consider how you can transform your garden into a beautiful sanctuary. Whether you’re looking for a simple refresh or a complete overhaul, Norfolk Coast and Country Building and Renovations is here to help you make the most of your outdoor space.
