Garden Design & Full Landscaping

A full landscaping project is the largest decision most homeowners make about their outdoor space, so we treat it like one. We start with how you actually want to live in the garden, morning coffee, summer dinners, somewhere for the children, low-maintenance planting, and design backwards from there. You get a considered plan before a single slab is lifted.

Garden Design & Landscaping

Design first, build second

Every full landscaping project begins with a site survey: levels, drainage, aspect, soil type and the existing planting worth keeping. From that we produce a scaled concept plan and a planting scheme so you can see the finished garden before committing. Changes on paper cost nothing; changes in built stone cost a great deal.

One team for hard and soft landscaping

Because we handle groundworks, paving, structures and planting in-house, the levels of your patio relate properly to your lawn, your drainage is designed in rather than fought later, and the planting suits the light each bed actually receives. You are not left coordinating three different trades who blame each other.

Built to last in a real climate

Foundations, sub-bases and drainage are the parts you never see and the parts that fail first when they are skimped. We build the unglamorous structure properly so the beautiful surface stays flat, drains, and survives a wet British winter for decades.

Garden Design & Landscaping questions

Frequently asked questions

A small courtyard can be finished in one to two weeks. A complete family garden with paving, structures and planting typically runs three to six weeks, weather depending. We give you a realistic schedule with your quotation.
