If you live in Sawston, from the High Street and Church Lane to Tannery Road and Park Road, 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 a quote is prepared. Along the High Street, some older homes have long, narrow plots, so your garden’s layout needs to account for its shape. Terraced yards in the historic core can leave less outdoor space to work with. East of the High Street the soil is chalk; towards the Cam, river gravels and seasonally wet ground make the drainage check particularly relevant. If you’re weighing up gravel for your garden, the quote shows it as a separate part of the work rather than hiding it in one figure. Patio, paths, turf, fencing, drainage and planting also appear as separate line items. You can see what each stage includes before agreeing to the work. ## Questions we get in Sawston ### Does a long High Street plot affect the garden plan? Yes. Some older High Street homes have long, narrow gardens. The survey checks levels, drainage and soil type before the layout is quoted. ### What if my garden is near the River Cam? Ground towards the Cam includes river gravels and alluvium, and can be seasonally wet. The survey checks how the ground drains before the work is scoped. ### What other areas do you cover?
