If you want a garden that works as well as it looks, our team can take your project from first sketch to final planting. We regularly work across DA1 and DA2, including homes near Central Park and routes towards the Dartford Crossing. Whether you need a new patio for entertaining or a full redesign, we coordinate trades, deliveries and site set-up to keep disruption low. The result is a cohesive outdoor space built to last.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments calls for tailored solutions rather than one-size-fits-all layouts. We design for practical access, storage and family use, while keeping proportions right for smaller terrace gardens and wider suburban plots. In Wilmington, Stone and Greenhithe we often improve drainage, levels and privacy at the same time as upgrading the look. Planting plans are chosen for year-round structure, not just summer colour.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear written proposal with options for materials and finishes. We handle full garden design, hard landscaping and soft landscaping, with careful groundworks before any paving or decking goes down. Homeowners choose us for straight answers, reliable scheduling and a clean, safe site each day. We’re based around 45 minutes away, so you get a responsive local service without rushed workmanship.
Working as landscaping contractors in Dartford Borough, we plan around tight parking, shared access and scheduled deliveries on busier streets. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess drainage and sub-bases carefully before installing patios or driveways. We also factor in boundary lines and neighbour considerations common to terraces and semis. For homes near Bluewater Shopping Centre and surrounding roads, we time logistics to avoid peak congestion where possible.

Costs vary with access, ground conditions and specification. As a guide in the Dartford area, small patio upgrades often start around £2,500–£6,000, while a new driveway commonly falls between £5,000–£15,000. Full garden transformations with design, levels, paving, fencing and planting are typically £12,000–£40,000+. We provide itemised options so you can scale the project to budget.
Many patio or fencing jobs take 3–7 working days, depending on size and access. Driveways are often 1–2 weeks, especially if excavation and new sub-base are required. A full redesign with hard landscaping, soft landscaping and features usually runs 2–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by drainage works, retaining walls, curing times, bespoke materials, and any changes agreed during the build.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, but there are important exceptions. New or altered driveways may need compliant permeable surfacing or drainage to a soakaway, and front boundary walls/fences can have height limits. Listed buildings and conservation areas can add constraints. We’ll flag likely permissions early, check guidance for Dartford Borough, and help you choose designs and materials that stay compliant.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed hard landscaping elements, such as paving installation, sub-bases, edging and structural timber work where specified. It covers defects caused by installation issues, not normal wear, accidental damage or lack of maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to certain products (for example, composite decking). You’ll receive care guidance to help keep surfaces, joints and planting performing well.
We design around how you use the space, then match materials to your home’s style. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, block paving or resin-bound driveways, closeboard or slatted fencing, and timber or composite decking. For soft landscaping we specify lawns, raised beds, evergreen structure and pollinator-friendly planting. We’ll bring samples, explain maintenance levels, and recommend layouts that suit your plot and light conditions.
