Landscapers in Milford
Milford is a village just south-west of Godalming, on the edge of the heathland of Witley and Milford Commons. Its gardens range from cottage plots near the village centre to larger family gardens on its outskirts.
Milford is a short drive from our base in Godalming. Dan and Adam design and build patios, driveways, fencing, lawns, decking, sleeper walls and complete garden makeovers here.
We take on landscaping projects in Milford and across Surrey, Hampshire and South West London.

FAQs
Landscaping in Milford: common questions
Do you take on projects in Milford?
Yes. Milford is just south-west of Godalming, a short drive from our base.
Which planning rules apply in Milford?
Waverley Borough Council is the planning authority, and the Witley Neighbourhood Plan applies alongside its policies. Surrey County Council approves new or wider dropped kerbs.
My garden backs onto the common. Can you replace the boundary fence?
Usually, yes, as long as the new fence stays on your side of the boundary. If you are not sure where the boundary runs or who owns it, check your title plan before work starts.
Which driveway surface should I choose?
Block paving and permeable block paving offer patterns and borders, gravel is natural-looking and drains freely, and resin gives a smooth, seamless finish. Each can meet the front-garden rules, by letting rain soak through or by draining to a lawn or border. We will talk through the options for your drive when we visit.
Good to know
Before you start a project in Milford
Most back-garden projects need no planning permission. These are the local points that are still useful to know.
The Witley Neighbourhood Plan
Milford is in the parish of Witley & Milford Parish Council, which is covered by the Witley Neighbourhood Plan. Waverley Borough Council made the plan in June 2021 after a referendum, and it is used alongside Waverley's own policies when planning applications in the parish are decided.

Witley and Milford Commons
The National Trust's Witley and Milford Commons, heathland now part of the Wealden Heaths National Nature Reserve, lie beside the village. Where a garden adjoins the common, keep new fences, paving and garden waste within your own boundary, and choose edge planting that suits the heath.
