DCM Surfaces joined the DIY SOS team to help transform the home of Nathan and his family. Our team installed the bright yellow surfacing that winds through the garden and continues into the covered play area.

In the BBC One episode A Home for Nathan, presenter Nick Knowles and the DIY SOS team travelled to Bewdley, near Kidderminster, to help Nathan and his family. The aim was to make the house safer and easier for Nathan to move around in, while giving the whole family more space to spend time together.

Hundreds of volunteers joined local tradespeople and businesses to help transform the home. The garden was part of that wider effort, with DCM’s team helping get the outdoor space ready for the family’s return.

Marcin and the DCM team worked late into the night to finish the surfacing in time for the reveal. The yellow pathway connects different parts of the garden and brings a splash of colour to the new outdoor space.

The yellow pathway curves around the lawn, linking the area beside the house with the covered play space. Under the timber shelter, the same yellow finish continues beneath the play equipment. Using one colour across the path and play area gives the two spaces a clear visual connection.

DCM’s contribution focused on the outdoor surfacing. The team worked along the curves of the path and around the edges of the lawn and planting beds, where the bright finish makes those details stand out. The completed garden shows how surfacing can help define a route and give a play area its own character.

Thank you to Marcin, the DCM crew and everyone who helped bring the project together. We were proud to play a part in the transformation for Nathan and his family.
