Landscapers in Haslemere
Haslemere sits in hilly countryside close to where Surrey meets Hampshire and West Sussex. Its gardens are often sloping, so levels, steps and retaining walls matter as much as the paving and planting on top.
DNA Landscapes is run by Dan and Adam. We design and build sleeper retaining walls and terraces, patios, lawns, fencing, driveways and complete garden makeovers.
We take on landscaping projects in Haslemere and across Surrey, Hampshire and South West London.

FAQs
Landscaping in Haslemere: common questions
Do you take on projects in Haslemere?
Yes. We take on projects across Haslemere and the surrounding villages.
Can you make a sloping garden usable?
Yes. We have built timber-sleeper retaining walls, steps and gravel terraces on steep slopes, turning banks that were hard to use into practical garden space.
Which driveway surfaces work on a slope?
Block paving and resin give a firm, bound surface that copes well with a gradient. Permeable block paving needs its sub-base designed for the slope, and gravel suits gentler slopes, ideally with stabilising grids.
Who handles planning applications in Haslemere?
Waverley Borough Council is the local planning authority. Surrey County Council is the highway authority and approves new or wider dropped kerbs.
Good to know
Before you start a project in Haslemere
Most back-garden projects need no planning permission. These are the local points that are still useful to know.

Haslemere Town Centre Conservation Area was designated in 1974 and extended in 1975, 1985 and 2005. In it, most tree work needs six weeks' notice and some boundary and front-garden changes may need consent.
