Your garden, considered
Landscaping that starts with how you use the garden
Most gardens we are asked to look at have grown piece by piece: a patio from one decade, a fence from another, a lawn that never quite drains. A landscaping project is the chance to plan everything together, so the paving, planting, boundaries and levels make sense as one space.
We start with how you want to use the garden: somewhere to eat outside, a lawn for children, low-maintenance planting or a view from the kitchen. From there we agree a layout, materials and a written scope, and the same team carries out the groundwork, hard landscaping and finishing.
Many Forest Hill gardens are narrow and reached through the house, so we plan how materials and waste move, protect floors and hallways, and choose layouts that make a long, thin space feel like more than a corridor.

Materials & possibilities
What a landscaping project can include
Most of our projects combine several of these. We help you decide which elements give the biggest difference for your budget.
Why the groundwork matters most
The parts of a garden you never see decide how long the parts you do see will last. We dig out to the depth the surface needs, lay and compact a proper sub-base, and set falls so rainwater runs away from the house. On London clay, that preparation is what stops paving sinking and lawns waterlogging.
From first ideas to finishing touches
A clear path to your finished garden.
Survey & brief
We visit, measure, look at levels, drainage and access, and talk through how you want to use the garden.
Design & quote
We agree the layout and materials and give you a written quote that lists what is included.
Build
Our team clears the site, carries out the groundwork and builds the hard landscaping, then the planting and lawn.
Handover
We walk the garden with you, explain any aftercare and make sure the site is left clean.
