Our Landscaping Process

1

Design Consultation

Site visit to understand your vision, assess the space, and discuss materials, drainage, and access. We can work with your designer or provide our own concepts.

2

Ground Preparation

Clear the site, excavate as needed, and install foundations. Level the ground and ensure proper falls for drainage.

3

Structural Work

Build walls, steps, and any structural elements. Install drainage, electrical for lighting, and any underground services.

4

Finishing & Planting

Lay paving, install decking, erect structures. Add finishing touches, borders, and coordinate with landscapers for soft planting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for garden structures?
Most garden buildings under 15m² and 2.5m high do not need planning permission if placed more than 2m from boundaries. Larger structures or those in conservation areas may need approval. We can advise on your specific situation and handle applications if needed.
What is the best paving material for gardens?
Porcelain is low-maintenance and slip-resistant but can feel less natural. Natural stone (sandstone, limestone, slate) ages beautifully but needs more maintenance. Concrete slabs are economical but less durable. We will help you choose based on use, style, and budget.
Can you work with my garden designer?
Yes, we regularly work with landscape designers and architects. We can build to their specifications, attend site meetings, and coordinate on technical details. Alternatively, we can provide our own design concepts for simpler projects.
How do you handle drainage in gardens?
Poor drainage is the main cause of garden problems. We assess existing drainage, install soakaways or French drains where needed, and ensure all hard surfaces have proper falls. For larger projects, we coordinate with drainage specialists.
Do you handle soft landscaping (planting)?
We focus on hard landscaping (construction), but we can coordinate with trusted landscaping partners for planting, turfing, and soft features. This ensures the structural work is complete before planting begins.
