If you live in Cottenham, from the High Street and Green End to Top Moor or the Conservation Area, your garden is covered. Tell us its size, how you want to use it and what the ground does in winter. We schedule a survey at your home, where drainage, levels and soil type are checked before quoting. On the High Street, older houses often sit close to the road, so access to the garden is worth raising at the survey. On Cottenham’s fen edge, flat ground and nearby waterways make surface water an important part of the layout. The survey checks levels and drainage before the plan is scoped. For fencing work, if you’re worried about what the quote includes, fencing appears as its own line item. Patio, paths, turf, drainage and planting are also priced separately. You can see the cost of each stage, including ground preparation, before agreeing to any work. ## Questions we get in Cottenham ### Could access affect work at my High Street home? Yes. Some older High Street houses sit close to the road, which can constrain garden access. Raise your access route when you describe the garden. ### How is drainage considered for a fen-edge garden? The survey checks levels, soil type and drainage before quoting. Cottenham’s flat fen-edge ground and nearby waterways make the route surface water takes relevant to the layout. ### What if my garden is in Cottenham Conservation Area? The area includes historic homes, so changes may need to respect its established character. Describe the work you want and any features you want to keep. ### What other areas do you cover?
