We handle the whole build — design, excavation, drainage, sub-base, hard landscaping, soft landscaping and snagging — under one roof. ### Who it's for Homeowners who want their garden to actually be used. People tired of looking at a patchy lawn and a slab of cracked concrete patio. Anyone planning to sell who knows kerb appeal sells houses faster than a fresh kitchen. ### When you need it Spring through autumn is ideal for soft landscaping; hard landscaping happens year-round. ### Why it matters Most failed patios fail underneath, not on top. Pavers crack because the sub-base wasn't compacted properly. Lawns die because drainage was an afterthought. We build the bottom 200mm right so the top inch lasts for decades. What happens if you wait ## The real cost of leaving it. A bad landscaping job hides for one summer and reveals itself for the next twenty. The cheap quote is rarely cheap by year three. ### Risks of leaving it - Settling slabs that puddle every time it rains. - Pointing that crumbles after a single frost cycle. - Walls leaning out and bowing within five years. - Lawns failing because nobody addressed underlying drainage. - Drainage that floods kitchens via the back door because levels were wrong by 20mm. ### Common mistakes we see - Laying slabs on dabs of wet mortar instead of a full bed on a compacted MOT sub-base. - Skipping geotextile membrane and getting a weed forest under the patio in three years. - Building retaining walls without proper drainage behind — hydrostatic pressure pushes them out. - Choosing slabs by photo without considering frost-resistance grade for the UK climate. Our process ## How we deliver — step by step. - 1 ### Free Design Consultation We visit, measure, and listen to how you want to use the space. Free, no obligation. - 2 ### Detailed Itemised Quote You receive a clear, itemised written quote. - 3 ### Site Preparation We prepare the ground properly and lay a solid, compacted base before any paving or turf goes down. - 4 ### Hard Landscaping Patios, paths, walls, edging — laid on full mortar beds, jointed properly with resin or mortar pointing, levels checked at every stage. - 5 ### Soft Landscaping & Sign-Off Turf laid on prepared topsoil and planting installed. We walk the finished garden with you and snag everything that needs attention. What you get ## The benefits — in plain English. ### Built once, lasts decades Proper sub-base and drainage means the garden looks as good in year ten as it does in year one. ### One team for the whole build Excavation, drainage, hardscape, softscape — same crew throughout. No handovers, no finger-pointing. ### Designed for how you'll actually use it We design around dinner parties, kids, dogs, low maintenance — not what looks photogenic in a brochure. ### Material choice that suits the climate Frost-rated porcelain, riven Indian sandstone, granite setts — we choose what survives Nottinghamshire winters. ### Adds kerb appeal A well-built garden adds real kerb appeal and can help your home sell. ### Proper snag & hand-over We walk the finished garden with you and address anything that needs attention before sign-off. The detail that matters ## Landscaping: materials, methods & specifications. Landscaping is a stack of decisions made in sequence. Get the early ones wrong and no amount of nice slabs will save the project. ### Patios Indian sandstone, Yorkstone, porcelain (Bradstone, Marshalls, Stonemarket) and natural granite. Always laid on full mortar bed over compacted MOT Type 1 — never on five dabs and a prayer. ### Paths & driveways Block paving, resin-bound, gravel-bound and natural stone setts. Driveways require proper sub-base depths (150mm+) and edge restraint. ### Retaining walls Brick, block, dry-stone, gabion and timber sleeper. All built with proper drainage behind (perforated pipe, free-draining backfill) to prevent hydrostatic failure. ### Lawns Turf or seed onto prepared and graded topsoil. We assess soil drainage before laying — if it doesn't drain, we French-drain it first. ### Planting & beds Structured planting schemes — evergreen backbone, seasonal interest, low-maintenance perennials. Raised beds in timber, brick or sleeper. ### Drainage Soakaways, French drains, channel drains and re-grading. We've fixed dozens of gardens whose previous 'landscaper' just laid over a drainage problem. ### Fencing & garden structures Fencing, gates, pergolas, archways. We also handle decking, gazebos and garden rooms ourselves for fully integrated builds. Whether it's a small courtyard refresh in Nottingham or a full half-acre redesign in Edwinstowe, we'll build it once, properly, with paperwork to match. We cover Edwinstowe, Mansfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottingham, Newark-on-Trent, Worksop, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Hucknall, Retford — see our full service areas or jump back to home. Recent work ## A selection of recent work completed across Nottinghamshire. See full portfolio FAQ ## Honest answers, before you call. ### How much does a typical patio cost? +Patios typically start from around £2,500 — every job is priced individually and quoted in writing after a free site visit. ### Do you handle the design as well as the build? +Yes — initial design and material choice are included free with any quote. ### When is the best time of year for landscaping? +Hard landscaping (patios, walls, paths) is year-round. Turf is best laid spring or autumn. Planting prefers autumn for establishment. We book up fastest March-July. ### Do you take away the old patio/garden? +Yes — excavation, waste removal and licensed tip disposal are included in every quote. You won't have a skip parked for weeks. ### Do you stand behind the work? +Yes — we walk every finished install with you, snag anything that needs attention, and stay in touch if anything needs a second look. ### Can you do just one element (just the patio, just a wall)? +Absolutely. We're happy to take on single-element jobs as well as full garden builds. ### How do you handle drainage and water issues? +Properly — we assess drainage at the survey stage and install soakaways, French drains or channel drains as part of the build. We never lay hard surfaces over a drainage problem. Ready when you are ## Get a written quote for your landscaping — usually within 48 hours, where possible. No pressure, no obligation.
