Driveway, Patio & Landscaping Services in Whitchurch
Two halves of the same trade. One is the hard surfaces at the front of a house, the drives and the parking; the other is what happens behind it, the patios, the levels, the walls and the trees. Most of our work is a bit of both, which is why it is worth having one person deal with the lot rather than three trades blaming each other over the levels at the back door.
Landscaping
The structural half of a garden: paving, retaining walls, steps, levels and decking. If the garden slopes awkwardly, holds water, or has a patio in the wrong place for the sun, this is the work that fixes it.
- Paths & StepsFirm, level routes through the garden, with steps sized so they are comfortable underfoot.
- Brickwork & Retaining WallsRetaining walls that hold a slope back properly, plus garden walls and planters to match the house.
- Swimming Pool SurroundsSlip-resistant surfaces around a pool, laid to drain away from the water.
- Wooden DeckingTimber decking framed to take real weight, with the ventilation it needs to last.
- Composite DeckingComposite boards for a deck you sweep rather than sand, stain and re-oil.
Artificial Grass
For gardens where real grass keeps losing: deep shade, a dog running the same line daily, or a lawn too small to get the mower out for. The result depends almost entirely on the base.

Turfing
The fastest route from bare soil to a finished lawn, and the easiest to get wrong, because most failures happen before a roll is unwrapped.

Tree Services
Trees and hedges are the part of a garden that quietly gets away from you. Reducing, felling, hedge cutting, stump grinding and full site clearance, with the waste taken away.
- Crown RemovalTaking the crown out of a tree to cut down shade, weight and overhang.
- Hedge CuttingHedges cut back to a line you can maintain, with the clippings taken away.
- Tree FellingTaking a tree down safely in a tight garden, in sections where there is no room to drop it.
- Stump GrindingGrinding a stump out below ground level so you can turf or pave straight over it.
- Site ClearanceOvergrown plots cleared back to workable ground, with the waste removed.
New Driveways
Block paving, resin, tarmac and gravel. Almost every failed drive we are asked to replace failed underneath, so the excavation, the sub-base and the edge restraints are where the work goes.
- Block Paving DrivewaysBlock paved drives with proper edge restraints, and single blocks you can lift and replace.
- Resin DrivewaysA smooth, seamless resin bound surface with no loose stone to sweep up or spread.
- Tarmac DrivewaysTarmac laid hot and rolled, the most economical way to surface a large drive.
- Gravel DrivewaysGravel over a membrane and a proper sub-base, edged so it stays on the drive.
New Patios
Where a patio goes matters as much as what it is made of. Set out for the late afternoon sun, laid on full mortar with a fall away from the house and clear of the damp course.
- Block Paving PatiosBlock paved terraces and seating areas that tie in with a block drive.
- Resin PatiosA seamless resin patio with no joints to weed and no slabs to lift.
- Indian Sandstone PatiosRiven Indian sandstone in mixed sizes, laid on a full mortar bed.
Driveway & Patio Cleaning
A drive that looks past it is often just dirty, and the paving underneath is usually sound. Cleaning, re-sanding and sealing costs a fraction of replacing.
