Thanks so much –we are really pleased with the final product – the extra sand and the ‘buffing’ has really tightened up the surface and it looks great. Thanks for coming over so quickly.

Wansdyke School

Wiltshire

Super exited to see the New Secondary Playground being transformed for our learners, how lovely to see them enjoying their new outdoor area. The outdoors is a key learning and play environment for our learners. Being outside allows them to interact with their environment, greatly aiding their development. DBD met extremely short deadlines and the customer service was excellent.

Calthorpe Academy

Birmingham

Our most complex learners are now better able to engage with an increasing range of outdoor learning opportunities.

Outdoor spaces are vital to help those who experience multi-sensory processing difficulties develop their senses and gain and understanding of their place in the world.

The garden will not only enable a more holistic learning experience but will support overall health and wellbeing.
