What is Hard Landscaping?
Hard landscaping refers to the non-living, structural elements of a garden, including paving, decking, walls, fences, and water features. These components define the layout of your space, creating walkways, seating areas, boundaries, and focal points that bring your garden together.
While soft landscaping (plants, trees, and lawns) brings life and colour, hard landscaping provides the durability and structure needed for a well-balanced design. The best landscapes seamlessly integrate both elements for a functional, stylish, and long-lasting outdoor environment.
Patios & Paving
A well-laid patio provides a stylish and practical outdoor living area. We design and install patios using high-quality materials such as porcelain, sandstone, limestone, and block paving to suit your aesthetic and lifestyle.
Driveways & Pathways
A well-designed driveway adds both functionality and curb appeal. We install resin-bound, block, gravel, and paved driveways, as well as stylish walkways that blend seamlessly with your garden’s layout.
Decking & Timber Features
For a warm, natural look, decking is a fantastic choice. We offer both composite and timber decking, along with bespoke timber features such as pergolas, arbours, and sleeper beds to enhance your outdoor space.
Fencing & Boundaries
Secure and stylish fencing creates privacy, protection, and structure in your garden. We install premium Jacksons fencing, trellises, and bespoke privacy screens that offer durability and an elegant finish.
Retaining Walls & Brickwork
From decorative garden walls to essential retaining structures, we specialise in high-quality brick, stone, and sleeper retaining walls that add both function and beauty to your garden.
Garden Steps & Terracing
For sloped gardens or multi-level landscapes, stone, brick, or sleeper-built steps and terracing create accessible, stylish transitions between levels. This enhances usability while adding structure and definition to outdoor spaces.
Water Features & Ponds
The soothing presence of water can elevate any garden design. We create natural ponds, fountains, and bespoke water installations that enhance tranquillity and attract wildlife to your space.
Outdoor Lighting
Extend the usability of your garden with bespoke outdoor lighting solutions for ambience, security, and functionality. We design and install lighting that highlights key features and enhances your space after dark.
