FAQs

What's the best time of year for landscaping projects?

While we complete hardscaping projects year-round, the ideal seasons are spring and autumn when temperatures are moderate. Winter projects are possible for hardscaping elements like walls and paving, though we carefully monitor weather conditions. Summer installations require additional attention to moisture levels, particularly for newly laid turf and plantings. We'll advise on optimal timing for your specific project.

Do I need planning permission for garden walls or paving?

Most garden walls under 2 meters tall don't require planning permission, though front garden walls over 1 meter may need approval. Paving typically doesn't require permission unless you're covering more than 5 square meters with non-permeable materials or in a listed property. Our team can advise on specific requirements for your property and handle any necessary applications.

How long do typical landscaping projects take to complete?

Project timelines vary based on scope and complexity. A standard patio installation (30-40m²) typically takes 1-2 weeks, brick wall construction averages 1 week per 10 linear meters, and complete garden transformations generally require 3-6 weeks. Weather conditions can affect schedules, but we provide detailed timelines during planning and keep you informed throughout the project.

What types of paving materials do you recommend?

We work with a wide range of premium paving materials, each with distinct advantages. Natural stone like limestone and sandstone offers timeless beauty and durability. Porcelain provides exceptional stain resistance and minimal maintenance. Concrete pavers offer excellent value and versatility. Our team can help you select the ideal material based on your aesthetic preferences, practical requirements, and budget considerations.

What does a typical landscaping project cost?

Landscaping costs vary significantly depending on materials, size, and complexity. As a general guide, quality paving installation typically ranges from £80-£150 per square meter depending on material choice. Brick walls average £300-£500 per linear meter. Complete garden transformations start from £10,000. We provide detailed, transparent quotations following our site assessment to ensure clarity on all costs involved.

How do you ensure proper drainage in your landscaping projects?

Proper drainage is critical for all our landscaping installations. We incorporate appropriate drainage solutions into every project, including proper sub-base preparation, calculated surface gradients, and installation of drainage channels or soakaways where necessary. For larger projects, we conduct thorough site assessments to develop comprehensive drainage plans that prevent water pooling and structural issues.

What maintenance will my new landscaping require?

Maintenance requirements vary by material and installation type. Natural stone paving typically needs occasional cleaning and resealing every 3-5 years. Porcelain requires minimal maintenance beyond regular cleaning. Brick walls should be inspected annually for mortar deterioration. Upon project completion, we provide detailed maintenance guidelines specific to your installation, and offer maintenance services for clients who prefer professional upkeep.

Can you incorporate lighting into my landscaping project?

Yes, we integrate various lighting solutions into our landscaping projects. Options include recessed path lighting, uplighters for walls and features, spotlights for trees and plants, and ambient lighting for entertainment areas. We plan lighting circuits during the initial design phase to ensure cables are properly concealed. All electrical work is completed by our qualified electricians in compliance with current regulations.
