Services
Garden landscaping across Surrey, Hampshire & South West London
Garden landscaping brings the separate parts of an outdoor space together: where you sit, how you walk through the garden, what you see from the house and what you will have to look after. Dan and Adam plan the paving, lawns, boundaries and planting areas as one job, so levels, edges and materials work together instead of being added piece by piece.
Many of our projects combine several services. A garden remodel might include a new patio outside the back doors, a path or stepping stones to the end of the garden, fresh turf, new fencing and timber-sleeper beds for planting.

Planning advice
Planning a garden makeover: what to consider
- How you will use the space
- Think about where you sit at different times of day, how many people you need room for, and whether you need space for children to play, a shed or bins. The answers shape the size and position of the patio, lawn and paths.
- Sun and aspect
- Note where the sun falls in the morning and evening. A seating area in the right spot gets used far more than one placed simply because it is next to the back door.
- Levels and slopes
- Sloping gardens can be turned into usable terraces with retaining walls and steps. Every change of level needs thought about drainage and safe, comfortable access.
- Drainage
- Rainwater has to go somewhere. New hard surfaces should fall away from the house and drain onto a lawn, border or soakaway, never towards buildings or a neighbour's property.
- Access and deliveries
- Paving, aggregates and soil arrive in bulk, and old material has to leave. Side access, parking for deliveries and room for a skip all affect how a project is planned.
- Planning permission
- Most back-garden landscaping does not need planning permission, but some features can: fences over 2 metres, decking more than 30 centimetres above the ground, and some front-garden paving. Listed buildings and conservation areas have extra controls. Your district or borough council is the planning authority.
FAQs
Garden landscaping: common questions
Can you work within a specific budget?
Yes. We understand the importance of staying within budget, and we work closely with you to tailor the project to what you want to spend.
How long does a garden landscaping project take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the job. We aim to give you a realistic timeline and keep you informed throughout the project.
Do you take on smaller jobs?
Yes. We take on projects of all sizes, from smaller improvements to complete garden transformations.
Do I need planning permission to landscape my garden?
Usually not for a back garden. Exceptions include fences or walls over 2 metres (1 metre next to a road used by vehicles), decking more than 30 centimetres above the ground, and new hard surfacing over 5 square metres in a front garden unless it is permeable or drains onto a lawn or border. Listed buildings and conservation areas have extra controls, so check with your local planning authority.
