	On the left a retaining wall built of railway sleepers. On the right a crazy paved flight of steps.
	Curved brick and slabbed steps in a small Brighton garden, all materials were carried through the house!
	Two curved steps at the Clergy House in Cuckfield on the left & on the right in a character Lindfield property.
	We completed all the works in this garden including the made to measure summerhouse with underfloor storeage

The above photos were a simple but very effective set of steps rising up a very steep bank at a property in Ovingdean.
