Areas we cover
Garden landscaping in Cobham
Cobham sits on the River Mole in the borough of Elmbridge. Village streets, family homes and larger properties set in mature gardens give a wide range of outdoor spaces, from courtyard patios to gardens that need a complete rethink.
DNA Landscapes is run by Dan and Adam. We design and build complete garden makeovers as well as individual patios, driveways, fencing, lawns, decking and sleeper walls, with the levels, drainage and finish planned together.
We take on landscaping projects in Cobham and across Surrey, Hampshire and South West London.

FAQs
Landscaping in Cobham: common questions
Do you take on projects in Cobham?
Yes. We take on garden landscaping, patio, driveway and fencing projects in Cobham.
Who handles planning applications in Cobham?
Elmbridge Borough Council is the local planning authority. Surrey County Council is the highway authority and approves new or wider dropped kerbs.
My garden is near the River Mole. Does that matter for a new patio?
It can. Check the Environment Agency's flood map for your address. In a flood zone, keeping hard surfaces permeable and avoiding raising ground levels near the river are sensible precautions, and larger changes may need advice from the council.
Can a new driveway work with the garden as one project?
Yes. A driveway, front garden and boundary are often best designed together, so the paving pattern, edging, planting and drainage suit each other and the house.
