Companies We Work With

From ground prep to finished gardens

We deliver both hard and soft landscaping. That means preparing sub-bases and levels; laying patios, paths and paving with tidy edges and proper falls; forming steps, kerbs, borders and small retaining features; and installing drainage where needed to move water away cleanly.

We set out lawns with fresh turf or seed, import and grade topsoil, and plant shrubs and trees with the right mulches and staking.

Fencing, screens and simple features (seating, planters) tie the space together; lighting or irrigation can be included where specified.

Throughout, we keep sites neat, protect existing surfaces and hand over with clear care guidance.

Durable finishes, tidy details

Good landscaping lasts because the unseen work is done right.

We compact sub-bases properly, set falls for drainage and use jointing suited to the materials. Edges are straight, cuts are clean and levels meet thresholds neatly.

Planting is conditioned to the site—soil improved where needed, roots watered in and beds mulched to hold moisture.

You get understandable progress updates and a clean handover with care notes.

FAQs

Either is fine. We can price from a sketch and material preferences, then confirm layout and quantities after a site visit. If you already have plans, we’ll follow them and flag any buildability tweaks.

We typically supply and install to an agreed spec (paving, edging, turf, plants). If you have preferred ranges, we’ll source those where practical or suggest close matches with reliable lead times.

We plan falls and permeable layers where suitable and add channels or soakaways if required by the design. In poor weather we’ll protect sub-bases and pause sensitive works to avoid future failures.

We segregate materials, reuse where sensible and remove the rest with licensed carriers. You’ll receive transfer notes where applicable, and sites are left clean and ready to use.

Time depends on size, access and material lead times. At quote stage we give a realistic programme and keep you updated as work progresses.

Yes—your handover includes simple care notes for paving and planting (watering, weeding, first cuts). If you want seasonal maintenance or replacements, tell us and we’ll price it separately.
