Landscaping
Patios and paving, timber decking, fencing, gates and brickwork – the hard landscaping that makes a garden usable, built on proper foundations.
A garden you can actually use
A level patio for the table, decking that turns a slope into somewhere to sit, a fence that stands up to the wind – hard landscaping is what turns a garden into part of the house.
Most of what makes it last is out of sight. A patio is only as good as the ground under it; decking is only as good as its frame; a fence is only as good as its posts. We spend the time on those parts, so the bit you see stays flat, firm and straight for years.
Landscaping often goes hand in hand with our other work – the patio outside a new extension, or the decking around a garden room – and it’s just as welcome as a job on its own.

What we build
Built from the ground up
Patios & paving
Dug out and laid on a compacted sub-base, with a gentle fall to shed rainwater away from the house and edges that stay put.
Timber decking
Ground-level or raised decks, steps and balustrades, on a properly fixed frame with room for air to move underneath.
Fencing & gates
Close-board, panel and slatted fencing on posts set to stay upright, and gates that open and shut properly year after year.
Walls & brickwork
Garden walls, retaining walls that hold back a slope, raised beds and decorative brickwork that ties the garden to the house.

Questions
Patios, decks and fences
Patio or decking – which is better?
It depends on the garden. Decking copes well with slopes and uneven ground, and sits level with a back door that’s above the lawn. A patio needs a level base but asks for less looking after. Plenty of gardens have both. Tell us how you want to use the space and we’ll suggest what suits it.
Do I need permission for a new fence?
Usually not. Fences, walls and gates up to 2 metres high are generally permitted development, but the limit drops to 1 metre next to a road or its pavement, and listed buildings and conservation areas have their own rules. Agree the boundary line with your neighbours before work starts.
Does raised decking need planning permission?
Decking more than 30 centimetres above the ground usually does, because it counts as a raised platform. Lower decks are generally fine. If your garden slopes, we’ll talk you through the options.
Tell us about your garden
A few details and a rough idea of what you have in mind is plenty. We’ll call or message you back to talk it through.
Thank you – that’s with us.
We’ll be in touch shortly to talk it through. Photos of the space help: you can send them on WhatsApp.
