Our work. Your confidence.
Welcome to the JJN Groundworks project gallery, where we showcase our commitment to engineering excellence beneath the surface, ensuring lasting beauty above. See how we transform challenging spaces into functional, stunning outdoor environments across Midhurst and surrounding areas. We're proud of every detail, visible and invisible.
High-end porcelain transformation
Turning a dated yard into a luxury outdoor room. We don't just lay slabs; we engineer the ground to ensure your porcelain remains perfectly level for years to come. Before: A tired, uneven concrete yard with weeds and standing water. During: Excavating the old surface and installing a geo-textile membrane and a laser-leveled, compacted sub-base. After: A sleek, modern porcelain terrace with precision-cut edges and integrated drainage.
The 'sloping garden' solution
Reclaiming the land. By restructuring the levels and installing professional drainage, we turned a steep slope into a functional, multi-tiered living space. Before: An unusable, steep garden that was difficult to mow and impossible to sit out in. During: Heavy machinery on-site to terrace the land, including the installation of structural retaining walls and hidden drainage runs. After: A multi-level garden with a flat lawn for the kids and a raised patio area for dining.
Driveway & entrance refresh
Curb appeal built to last. A driveway is only as good as the ground beneath it. We focused on the structural prep so the finish stays flawless under pressure. Before: A cracked tarmac driveway that was dragging dirt into the house. During: Full muck-away of the old driveway, followed by a heavy-duty sub-base installation and edge-restraints to prevent shifting. After: A clean natural stone driveway that adds instant curb appeal and handles heavy vehicle use.
Complete site clearance & turfing
From wasteland to garden. We handled the full clearance and waste removal, leaving this site transformed, tidy, and ready for summer. Before: An overgrown, "lost" garden full of brambles and rubble. During: A total clearance of all green waste and debris, followed by soil conditioning and leveling. After: A clean, blank canvas with freshly laid premium turf and defined borders.
The invisible engineering behind lasting beauty
What makes JJN Groundworks projects stand out isn't just the stone you see on top; it's the invisible engineering and the "over-finished" details that most contractors overlook to save time. When a neighbour looks at a JJN project, they see a "nice patio," but a professional—or a savvy homeowner—sees these four specific markers of quality:
The 'laser-level' precision
We don’t just "eye" the levels. Because we are groundworks-led, we use laser levels to ensure that every patio, pathway, and driveway has the perfect fall. The difference: Water never pools in the middle of your terrace. It always moves exactly where it’s supposed to go—away from your house and into the drainage system.
The multi-layer sub-base
Most patio failures happen because the "bones" were weak. We treat a garden patio with the same structural respect as a driveway. The difference: We use a high-density, multi-layer sub-base that is compacted in stages. This prevents the "dipping" or "rocking" of slabs that you often see in cheaper installations after a single winter.
Surgical masonry & cutting
On high-end projects like porcelain, the "cuts" make or break the look. The difference: We use precision wet-saws for every cut. Whether it’s fitting stone around a curved border or a manhole cover, the gaps are uniform and the lines are crisp. We don't settle for "close enough"; we aim for a kitchen-standard finish outdoors.
Seamless drainage integration
Nothing ruins a luxury garden like a big, ugly plastic drain grate in the middle of a beautiful stone floor. The difference: We specialise in recessed manhole covers (where the stone is cut to fit inside the lid) and slot drains. This makes your essential drainage almost invisible, allowing the beauty of the stone to take centre stage.
Your investment, engineered for confidence.
After seeing a completed JJN Groundworks project, we want you to feel total confidence. You want it to feel solid, permanent, and premium. This was built once, and it was built right. The crispness of the lines and the lack of standing water should send a clear message: The person who did this knew exactly what they were doing under the surface.
The details were never an afterthought. When you see how a patio wraps perfectly around a corner, or how a drain cover is hidden within the stone, the message is care. It shows that we didn't just rush to get to the next job; we treated your home with the respect of a craftsman. Your investment is safe. High-end landscaping is expensive. When the job is done, you should feel a sense of relief and pride. You shouldn't be looking for cracks or worrying about the first big rainstorm. You should feel that every penny you spent is visible in the quality of the finish and the stability of the ground.
The beauty you see is supported by the engineering you don't. Ultimately, you'll stand on your new patio and proudly say: "I’m so glad I went with JJN. I watched them do the prep work—they didn't cut a single corner. It feels like it's part of the house now, not just a layer of stone on top of the dirt."
