Garden landscaping: Your questions answered

Planning a landscaping project for your garden? Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about our garden landscaping services.

Most garden landscaping projects don’t require planning permission. However, certain works may need approval. For example, if you’re building retaining walls over 1 metre high, creating new vehicle access, or working on a listed property. Similarly, properties in conservation areas may have additional restrictions. Therefore, we recommend checking the UK Government planning portal for specific guidance. We’re happy to advise on your particular situation and can help with planning applications if needed.

Project timescales vary considerably depending on scope and complexity. For instance, straightforward garden levelling or drainage installation might take 1-2 weeks. In contrast, a complete garden transformation with retaining walls, new levels, and planting could take 4-8 weeks. Additionally, weather can affect outdoor work schedules. Nevertheless, we’ll provide a realistic timeline during consultation and keep you updated throughout the project.

Groundworks form the foundation of successful landscaping. Firstly, we may need to excavate and level the site. Secondly, we often install drainage systems to manage water flow. Additionally, we create proper foundations for patios, walls, and other structures. Furthermore, we address soil quality and compaction issues. Ultimately, the specific groundworks depend on your garden’s current condition and your project goals. We assess this during our site survey.
Proper drainage is crucial for garden longevity. Initially, we assess your site’s natural water flow and problem areas. Subsequently, we design drainage solutions tailored to your garden. These might include French drains, soakaways, channel drainage, or land drains. Moreover, we ensure all hard landscaping is installed with appropriate falls and drainage points. Consequently, your garden remains usable in wet weather and plants thrive without waterlogging.

Absolutely. Indeed, sloped gardens are one of our specialties. We create retaining walls to form level terraces for lawns and patios. Alternatively, we can reshape gardens with careful grading and earthworks. Furthermore, we design drainage systems to manage water on slopes. Meanwhile, we incorporate steps, paths, and planting to make sloped gardens both accessible and attractive. Ultimately, challenging sites often become the most interesting gardens.

The maintenance level depends on your choices. For example, hard landscaping like patios and retaining walls needs minimal upkeep – occasional cleaning and checking pointing. Conversely, planted areas require regular maintenance such as weeding, pruning, and seasonal care. However, we can design low-maintenance planting schemes if preferred. Additionally, we use quality materials and proper installation techniques to minimise structural maintenance. We’ll discuss maintenance expectations during the design stage.
