If you live near Church Street, High Street or Woollards Lane, or along Cambridge Road and Hinton Way, 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, then provide a quote. Many homes along Cambridge Road and Hinton Way have long gardens, often backing onto farmland. That length matters when deciding which parts of the garden to include in the scope. Around Church Street, older homes sit within the conservation area, so the proposed layout needs to take their setting into account. If you’re worried that preparation will add to the cost later, the quote includes ground preparation in the scope. Patio, paths, turf, fencing, drainage and planting appear as separate line items, so you can see the breakdown for each stage before agreeing to the work. ## Questions we get in Great Shelford ### Does the conservation area affect plans for my Church Street garden? The Great Shelford Conservation Area covers Church Street and the older village core. The garden plan needs to take that setting into account. ### Can a long garden on Hinton Way be included in one plan? Yes. Houses along Hinton Way often have long gardens, and [hard landscaping](https://www.cambridgelandscapegardeners.co.uk/services/hard-landscaping) and planting are scoped together so the different parts of the garden are considered. ### What other areas do you cover?
