What are the benefits of landscaping? +

Landscaping does more than beautify your outdoor space. It can increase your property’s value, enhance curb appeal, and create functional areas for relaxation and entertainment. Well-planned landscaping also improves energy efficiency, reduces soil erosion, and contributes to environmental sustainability.

How much does landscaping cost? +

The cost of landscaping depends on your garden’s size, the complexity of the design, and the types of plants or hardscape materials you choose. We provide tailored quotes after an on-site assessment to ensure you get a solution that fits your budget.

How long does a landscaping project take? +

Project timelines vary depending on the scope of work. Simple maintenance or planting may take just a few days, while full garden redesigns or hardscaping projects can take several weeks. We provide a clear timeline before starting any work.

Do you offer garden maintenance services? +

Yes! We provide ongoing maintenance packages to keep your garden healthy and looking its best year-round, including mowing, pruning, weeding, fertilisation, and irrigation checks.

Can you work with my existing garden design? +

Absolutely. Whether you want to improve certain areas or completely redesign your outdoor space, we work with your existing landscape, making recommendations to enhance aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability.

What types of hardscaping do you offer? +

We design and install patios, pathways, retaining walls, driveways, decking, water features, and other hardscape elements. All projects are custom-designed to complement your garden and home.

Are the plants and materials you use eco-friendly? +

Yes. We focus on sustainable practices, including native planting, water-efficient irrigation, organic fertilisers, and environmentally-friendly materials wherever possible.

Can landscaping increase my home’s value? +

Yes. Professional landscaping can significantly boost your property value by improving curb appeal, creating functional outdoor living spaces, and enhancing the overall aesthetic of your home—often offering a strong return on investment.

Do you provide garden design consultations? +

We do. Our team offers design consultations to understand your needs, preferences, and budget. We provide 3D visualisations or plans to help you see how your garden will look before any work begins.

How do I get a quote? +

You can request a quote by filling out our contact form, calling our office, or scheduling an on-site consultation. We’ll assess your garden and provide a personalised plan and estimate.

Do you offer project management? +

Yes, we manage every stage of your landscaping project, coordinating schedules, materials, and subcontractors to ensure timely completion and high-quality results.

Can you install a driveway? +

Absolutely. We design and install driveways using block paving, resin-bound gravel, or tarmac, tailored to suit your property and aesthetic preferences.

What is the best time of year to landscape a garden? +

Spring and early autumn are ideal for planting and hardscaping projects. However, our team can plan and carry out work year-round, taking into account seasonal considerations for plant health and soil conditions.

Do I have to have my whole garden changed? +

Not at all. We can improve specific areas of your garden, refresh planting schemes, or redesign select spaces without altering the entire garden.

What is involved in installing block paving? +

Installing block paving involves excavating the area, laying a suitable base, compacting it, and then carefully placing the paving blocks. Finally, we finish with jointing sand and compaction for a durable, level surface.

What are the benefits of patios? +

Patios extend your living space outdoors, providing areas for relaxation, dining, and entertainment. They enhance the aesthetic appeal of your garden and can increase property value.

How do I maintain my patio? +

Regular sweeping, pressure washing, and sealing (for certain materials) will keep your patio in top condition. Our garden maintenance packages can include patio care to ensure it always looks its best.

What makes your work stand out? +

We combine meticulous design, skilled craftsmanship, and personalised service. Every project is tailored to your vision, ensuring beautiful, practical, and long-lasting results.
