If your outdoor space needs a full rethink, our team delivers end-to-end garden construction across Dartford. We regularly work near Central Park and around DA1 and DA2, creating gardens that suit busy households and modern lifestyles. Whether you want a new patio for entertaining, safer boundaries, or a softer planting-led feel, we tailor the build to your home. Every project is planned for practical access, drainage and year-round use.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and new developments means no two gardens behave the same. We design layouts that make the most of compact plots, awkward levels and overlooked boundaries, while keeping maintenance realistic. For newer estates around Greenhithe and Swanscombe, we often add structure with raised beds, screening and durable paving. For older properties, we respect period character with sympathetic materials and planting schemes.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and clear proposal covering hard landscaping, soft landscaping and finishes. You’ll get a staged programme, transparent payment schedule and a dedicated point of contact throughout. We protect existing features where possible, keep the site tidy, and communicate daily progress. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, reliable timelines and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Across Dartford Borough, we often encounter clay-heavy soils and areas that hold water after rain, so we prioritise drainage, sub-bases and correct levels. Access can be tight on Victorian streets, while newer developments may have strict parking rules and shared pathways. We plan deliveries, skips and working hours to minimise disruption and keep neighbours onside. Our garden contractors Dartford area team adapts materials and construction methods to suit each plot and property style.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, garden clearance may start from £300–£900, while a new patio or decking area often falls around £2,500–£8,000 depending on materials and groundwork. Full garden builds with paving, fencing, lighting and planting commonly range from £10,000–£35,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit so you can adjust priorities.
Small projects such as fencing or a modest patio can take 2–5 days. Medium refurbishments with paving, turf and planting typically run 1–3 weeks. A full rebuild with walls, steps, drainage and multiple zones is usually 3–8 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing times, material lead times and whether we’re dealing with level changes or hidden issues underground.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, including patios, paths, planting and many fences. However, rules can apply to front gardens, boundary heights, listed buildings, conservation areas and drainage changes (especially if you’re altering levels or surfacing). If you’re adding walls, significant retaining structures or features near highways, extra checks may be needed. We flag likely permissions early and can help you confirm requirements with Dartford Borough Council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship and structural integrity for items such as patios, sub-bases, retaining edges and certain walling works. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like paving, composite decking or pumps for water features. The warranty relies on correct use and reasonable maintenance, and excludes accidental damage or extreme events. We explain what’s covered in writing before work starts.
We design and build everything from porcelain and sandstone patios to block paving, gravel gardens and composite or timber decking. For boundaries, we install closeboard fencing, slatted screens, brickwork and rendered walls. Soft landscaping can include lawning, meadow planting, evergreen structure and seasonal colour, plus water features such as rills or bubbling stones. Our garden contractors in Dartford Borough guide you through samples, layouts and maintenance levels to match your budget.
