Creating a strong first impression matters on every development, from the sales suite to the last handover. We deliver complete external works for developers and homeowners across DA1 and DA2, including show home gardens, front and rear gardens, and communal areas. Our teams are used to working around tight build programmes and keeping plots presentable for viewings. You’ll often see our work supporting developments near Bluewater Shopping Centre and routes towards the Dartford Crossing.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and new developments means landscaping needs to be flexible, not one-size-fits-all. We design practical front gardens and driveways that suit narrower plots, and family-ready rear gardens that cope with daily use. For modern schemes in Greenhithe and Swanscombe, we can create consistent streetscapes with coordinated planting, edging and boundary treatments. Every detail is planned to look good on day one and mature well over time.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear scope covering finishes, access and programme dates. You’ll get a tidy, well-managed install with quality materials, strong setting-out and snagging handled promptly. We can include maintenance contracts to keep communal spaces and street planting looking sharp after practical completion. Local homeowners and site teams trust us for straightforward communication, dependable scheduling and workmanship backed by warranty.
Across Dartford Borough, we regularly plan for clay-heavy soils, variable levels and modern drainage requirements on new sites. Access and parking can be tight near Central Park or in established streets, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also factor in exposure on open plots and choose hardy planting that performs in roadside conditions. Where needed, we coordinate finishes to match developer specifications and adoptable standards.

Costs vary by plot size, specification and how much hard landscaping is included. As a guide, a front garden and driveway package often starts from £3,000–£8,000 per plot, while a rear garden with turf, patio and planting is commonly £2,500–£7,500. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced per square metre and can range from £25–£120/m² depending on surfacing, edging and plant density.
A single plot can often be completed in 2–7 working days, depending on levels, drainage, patio size and driveway construction. Show home gardens may take 1–2 weeks to achieve a higher finish with more planting and detailing. Communal areas and street planting are typically programmed in phases alongside build milestones. Weather, access restrictions, curing times and material lead times can all affect the final schedule.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, but some elements can trigger rules—especially new or widened driveways, boundary walls/fences, and works near highways. Permeable surfacing and correct drainage are important where front gardens are converted to parking. On developments, conditions attached to planning approval may specify materials, planting and maintenance. We review drawings and site constraints, then flag any permissions, SUDS requirements or approvals needed before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping, such as patios, paths, edging, kerbs and driveway construction, when built to our specification. This covers issues arising from installation defects, including movement linked to inadequate sub-bases or incorrect laying. Planting is covered separately because establishment depends on season and aftercare; we’ll advise on watering and can provide maintenance contracts to support successful establishment and keep sites looking consistent.
For driveways, popular choices include permeable block paving, resin-bound gravel and reinforced gravel systems. Patios often use porcelain, sandstone or concrete paving for a clean, durable finish. Boundary treatments can include closeboard fencing, brick piers, trellis detailing and acoustic fencing where needed. Planting schemes typically mix evergreen structure with seasonal colour and low-maintenance shrubs. We help you choose options that suit the build style, budget, drainage requirements and long-term maintenance plan.
