Turfing
New turf laid correctly needs proper ground preparation first — clearing existing growth, levelling, and improving drainage where the ground’s compacted or waterlogged. Skipping this step is the most common reason new turf fails to establish or develops bare patches within the first year.
Fencing
We install a range of fencing styles and can advise on what suits your boundary and any shared-ownership considerations with neighbours, which comes up more often than people expect, particularly on older properties.
Decking
Timber and composite decking both have a place — timber is cheaper upfront but needs more regular maintenance (treating, re-staining); composite costs more initially but needs very little upkeep over its lifespan.
Drainage
A lot of garden problems — waterlogged lawns, damp patios, boggy borders — come down to poor drainage rather than the planting itself. We assess drainage as part of any landscaping job, not as an optional add-on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle full garden redesigns or just individual elements?
Both — some clients want a single job like new turf or a fence, others want a complete transformation. We scope it to what you actually need.
How long does new turf take to establish?
Generally a few weeks before it can take light use, longer before it’s fully established — we’ll confirm timing based on season and ground conditions.
Timber or composite decking — which is better?
Depends on budget and how much maintenance you want to take on. Timber costs less upfront but needs regular treating; composite costs more but needs very little upkeep.
Can you fix a garden that always waterlogs?
Usually yes — it typically comes down to drainage rather than the planting, and we assess this as part of the site visit.
