Overview
About Landscaping
Most gardens have one thing holding them back: a slope nobody has tackled, ground that stays wet, or a patio in the wrong place for the evening sun. Landscaping is the work that sorts the ground itself, so the planting and the furniture finally have somewhere sensible to sit. We build the hard structure of a garden, the paving, the retaining walls, the steps and the levels, and we set the whole thing out so water runs away from the house rather than towards it.

The process
How the job runs
- 1
Set out where it should go
We work out where the sun lands in the afternoon, how the patio meets the back door, and what has to be dug out or built up to reach a level surface.
- 2
Dig out and prepare
The area is excavated, a compacted base is laid, and the finished height is set clear of the damp proof course so water can never track back into the wall.
- 3
Lay to a fall
Paving is bedded on full mortar, not on dabs, with a fall running away from the house. Slabs on dabs are the reason patios rock and joints crack.
- 4
Finish and walk it with you
Joints are filled, the edges finished against the lawn or border, and once the surface is washed down we walk the patio with you and go through how to keep the paving and jointing looking good.
The price
Landscaping costs
No two jobs price the same, and anyone quoting over the phone without seeing it is guessing. These are the things that actually move the number, and the visit to work them out is free.
- The area involved, and how much of it has to be dug out rather than built up
- How far machinery and materials have to travel from the road to the garden
- Whether the ground has to be retained, which means footings and drainage behind a wall
- Your choice of paving, from concrete block through to porcelain
- How much spoil has to be carted away, which is a lorry cost rather than a labour one
Landscaping we take on
Why choose us
Why people call us for this
- 1
Private homes only
We only work on private homes and gardens, so a domestic job is the job, not a gap between contracts.
- 2
The groundwork gets its time
The groundwork gets the time it needs. That is unglamorous, and it is the whole difference between a surface that lasts and one that moves.
- 3
Waste leaves with us
Waste leaves with us, so you are not left disposing of spoil, old slabs or brash.
- 4
One point of contact
You deal with the person doing the work, so nothing gets lost between a salesman and a fitter.
