Did you see our FutureDek EasyClean Silver Birch composite decking in last night’s episode of Love Your Garden? You can learn all about Kirsty, her remarkable story and the difference that her brand-new garden and decking will make here.
Kirsty’s Story
This Love Your Garden project was in aid of Kirsty and her twins Phoebe and Sam who tragically lost their husband/father Kevin after he suffered a brain aneurysm on New Year’s Day. Kirsty made the brave decision to have Kevin’s organs donated to others in need, and finds comfort in the fact that Kevin has helped save the lives of countless other people.
Kirsty and her daughter Phoebe both have an inherited hereditary condition called Stickler syndrome which can cause problems with vision, hearing and movement. Without her husband Kevin around to help, Kirsty is battling her disabilities to care for her two little ones single-handedly. She is unable to drive and struggles with limited vision and hearing, so she loves to keep the twins entertained at home or in local outdoor spaces whenever she can.
With the strength and courage that Kirsty has shown over recent years, we were only too happy to contribute our FutureDek EasyClean composite decking to her Love Your Garden transformation. The new garden has helped create a safe space for the children to play and a comforting environment for Kirsty to remember her late husband, Kevin.
The Garden Before the Transformation
Kirsty and the twins recently moved from a flat into a house with a garden, but the garden was in desperate need of some work! Phoebe’s condition means she needs a safe and sensory garden to explore with her twin brother Sam.
There was a large space outside the back door which the Love Your Garden team wanted to transform using our FutureDek EasyCleancomposite decking, a TimberTech composite rail and a SunSpaces Aspire veranda & awning. Let’s take a look at the finished results…
The Finished Results
Our FutureDek EasyClean composite decking offers a gorgeous wood-like finish with a silver/grey two-tone effect, making it visually more appealing than traditional brown decking. Boasting unbeatably low-maintenance properties, Kirsty will never need to paint, seal or stain this deck so she can spend more time enjoying her new garden and spending time with the little ones!
The Love Your Garden team complemented the new deck with a composite handrail and a veranda from SunSpaces, separating the two gorgeous spaces and keeping Kirsty and the twins safe and secure and out of the rain at all times. With their new garden, they’ll be able to spend quality time outdoors all year round.
Further down the garden, Alan and his team added a brightly coloured slide for the youngsters, another sensory seating area and an array of different plants to really bring Kirsty’s garden to life.
We’ve loved being a part of this transformation, and we hope Kirsty and the twins will enjoy their new garden for years to come!
