In 2014, while working on a client’s garden, Steve realized he couldn’t find a quality, made-to-measure shed that would complement the garden’s design. Most sheds on the market were either mass-produced or low quality, lacking the bespoke touch he envisioned. That’s when inspiration struck—why not build the sheds himself?

Excited about the idea, Steve shared his plans with Lauren, his soon-to-be wife and mother of their two small boys. It was only nine months before their wedding, but Steve’s passion and vision were unstoppable. He had big dreams: rent a workshop, start making sheds full-time, and turn his lifelong goal into reality.

Lauren, ever the practical partner, immediately saw the potential. She stepped in to help structure the business, handling the logistics while Steve focused on building. Lauren took the business to social media, gaining traction with post after post. Before they knew it, orders were rolling in, and she was juggling deliveries, paperwork, and customer requests. Their small workshop quickly became too cramped to handle the growing demand.

With business booming, they made the bold decision to purchase a larger property with a yard of its own. They hired more staff, expanded their offerings from sheds to summerhouses, and then to gazebos and garden rooms. Steve, once the sole craftsman, found himself spending more time in the office designing and selling his products than actually building them. By this point, their family had grown as well, with two more boys rounding out the family of six. Lauren was busy managing the children but still found ways to help keep the business on track.

But something was missing. Steve missed the hands-on work—the very thing that had driven him to start the business in the first place. Though the company was growing and thriving, Steve realized that he had lost touch with what he loved most: being on the tools, crafting each building with care and attention. The office work, though necessary, wasn’t the dream he had in mind.

So, Steve and Lauren made a tough decision. They reduced their staff and shifted the business back to its roots—focusing on handcrafted, bespoke garden buildings. Today, every structure is custom-built on-site, right in the customer’s garden. There’s no factory, no mass production. Every building is unique, designed and made by Steve & his team with the care and craftsmanship that made the business special in the first place.
