What We Do
Garden Landscaping Services
From drainage and groundwork to patios, turf, fencing and planting, every scope is quoted and carried through in full.
Artificial Grass
On Cambridge clay, a well-prepared aggregate sub-base is essential to stop water pooling beneath the surface. Old turf removal, ground levelling, weed membrane, and kiln-dried sand infill are included in the installation scope, not charged as extras.
Decking
Timber and composite decking differ in maintenance requirements and lifespan. Both need a correctly levelled joist frame and bearer structure to prevent board movement and water pooling. Frame construction, board supply, weed suppression membrane, and any steps are quoted as separate line items.
Fencing & Gates
Rotting panels, loose posts, and dropped gates are usually a footing or post problem, not just a panel problem. Replacement is quoted with concrete posts, correct footing depth, and gate hardware, hinges, latch, and drop bolt, itemised separately from panel supply.
Garden Design & Planning
A site-specific plan covers measured zoning for patio, lawn, beds, and paths alongside a light and soil assessment. It gives you a concrete layout to take to any landscaper, reducing the risk of costly changes once groundwork has started.
Garden Drainage & Groundwork
Persistent waterlogging on Cambridge clay rarely responds to a surface-level fix. A soak test and slope check identify whether a French drain with perforated pipe and gravel backfill, a soakaway, or topsoil regrading is the right solution before any landscaping begins.
Garden Landscaping
From bare new-build plots to overgrown spaces, each job is scoped after a site check covering levels, drainage, and soil type. Patio, turf, paths, borders, and ground preparation are quoted as separate line items so you see exactly what each stage costs.
Garden Makeovers & Full Renovations
A full renovation is scoped after a site survey covering drainage, levels, and soil condition, not from a standard package. Hard landscaping, soft landscaping, boundaries, and ground preparation are quoted as separate line items so you see the cost of each stage before any work is agreed.
Garden Paths & Driveways
Permeable surfacing is required under Building Regulations for most new driveways in England. Block paving, resin bound, tarmac, and gravel are each quoted with sub-base depth, drainage provision, and edging specified so you can compare options on a like-for-like basis.
Garden Walls & Retaining Walls
Retaining walls on Cambridge clay need footings sized for soil pressure and seasonal ground movement, not just wall height. Foundations, brickwork or blockwork, and coping stone finish are quoted as separate line items after a ground and level assessment.
Hard Landscaping
Hard landscaping covers all fixed surfaces and structures, paving slabs, brickwork, stone, concrete, and drainage channels. Each job starts with a site check and dig-out before any sub-base is laid, so the finished surface sits on stable, level ground rather than shifting soil.
Patios & Paving
Material choice, sub-base depth, and a correct drainage fall determine whether a patio stays level and drains cleanly. Porcelain, natural stone, concrete slabs, and block paving are each quoted separately, with ground preparation included in the scope rather than added later.
Raised Beds & Planting
Raised beds built on Cambridge clay give plant roots a controlled growing medium above the waterlogged ground below. Bed depth, topsoil-to-compost ratio, and plant spacing are set out in the quote so the finished beds are ready to grow from day one.
Turfing & Lawns
Laying turf over old grass or compacted soil leads to poor rooting and patchy results within a season. Ground preparation, weed and root removal, levelling, and a minimum 100mm topsoil layer, is included in the scope, not quoted as a separate extra.
