If you live near Histon High Street, The Green or Station Road, your garden is within the area 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 a quote. Many homes around The Green have mature trees nearby, so your garden’s existing setting needs to shape the plan. Histon’s river gravel sits over Gault clay, and groundwater can be close to the surface in some spots. If winter leaves your lawn waterlogged, the survey checks the ground before drainage or levelling is scoped. A patio or new fencing can look like one job until ground preparation enters the quote. If you’re worried about added costs, the quote lists patio, paths, turf, fencing, drainage and planting separately. It includes sub-base, topsoil, drainage and levelling in the scope, with each stage shown before you agree to work. ## Questions we get in Histon ### What if my garden near The Green has mature trees? Nearby mature trees are part of the setting around The Green. The survey checks levels, soil type and drainage before the garden work is scoped. ### Does clay ground affect a garden quote in Histon? Yes. Histon sits on river gravel over Gault clay, with poor drainage in some spots. The survey checks how the ground drains before drainage and preparation enter the quote. ### What other areas do you cover?
