  • What is hard landscaping?
    Hard landscaping refers to the construction and installation of non-living elements in outdoor spaces, such as patios, driveways, walls, and paths. It forms the foundation of your landscape design.
  • How long does a typical hard landscaping project take?
    The timeline varies depending on the scope and complexity of the project. For example, a simple patio may take a week, while a complete garden transformation could take several weeks.
  • What materials do you use for hard landscaping projects?
    We use a range of materials including natural stone, concrete, bricks, timber, and composite materials, depending on the design and your preferences.
  • Can you work within a specific budget?
    Yes, we can tailor designs and material choices to fit your budget while maintaining quality and functionality.
  • What’s the best material for a patio?
    It depends on your preferences, budget, and intended use. Options include natural stone for a premium look, porcelain for durability, or concrete for cost-effectiveness.
  • Do you install block paving driveways?
    Yes, we install block paving. A significant amount of preparation goes into ensuring a solid foundation, as this is crucial for creating a durable and visually stunning block-paved driveway. The result is a driveway that is both beautiful and long-lasting.
  • How do you ensure drainage on driveways and patios?
    When designing patios or driveways, correct drainage solutions are essential to ensure functionality and longevity. We carefully consider factors like water flow, incorporating a slight fall to direct water away from the surface. For enhanced drainage, we can install channel drains to collect and redirect water to the nearest waste drain. In some cases, we use gravel channels for natural drainage, offering a visually appealing alternative based on your preferences and grounds. Additionally, soakaways can be implemented to prevent surface water buildup, ensuring your patio or driveway remains free from pooling water.
  • Do you build retaining walls?
    Yes, we design and construct retaining walls using materials such as stone cages, concrete blocks or wood sleepers to suit the landscape.
  • Can you create bespoke steps for sloping gardens?
    Yes, we create bespoke steps for sloping gardens. We can also transform a sloping garden into a tiered design, complete with retaining walls and steps connecting each level. This approach not only enhances the garden's visual appeal but also maximises usability, turning previously unused sloped areas into functional and enjoyable spaces. Our designs are tailored to make the most of your garden, ensuring a practical and beautiful result.
  • Do you offer outdoor lighting solutions?
    Yes, we install outdoor lighting to enhance safety, highlight features, enabling you to enjoy your garden in the evenings.
  • What’s the difference between composite and timber decking?
