Costs vary with size, groundworks and finishes. As a guide, a simple refresh (tidy-up, new planting, edging and small path repairs) often starts around £1,500–£4,000. New paving and a redesigned layout commonly falls in the £4,000–£12,000 range. A full frontage with driveway, walls/fencing, lighting and bespoke bin storage is typically £12,000–£30,000+ depending on materials and drainage needs.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on how much excavation and construction is involved. A planting-and-pathway update can be completed in under a week, while a new driveway with walls, steps, lighting and drainage often needs 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access for skips and materials, weather, curing time for concrete or mortar, and whether we’re adjusting levels or retaining structures.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules around surface water drainage. If you’re laying impermeable surfacing over a certain area, you may need planning permission unless you use permeable paving or direct water to a suitable soakaway. Boundary walls, railings and changes near highways can also have limits. We advise on compliant options and check constraints before work begins.
