Landscaping near you

Common landscaping problems

• Tired or patchy lawns
• Gardens that are hard work to look after at rental properties
• Uneven or muddy areas that need paths or edging
• Wanting raised beds, planting schemes or a clearer layout

When it may need urgent attention

Landscaping is planned work. The exception is drainage problems, such as water pooling against the house walls, which should be looked at before they cause damp.

Before you book

• Have a rough idea of how you'll use the space and how much upkeep is realistic.
• For rentals, low-maintenance designs usually save repeated gardening visits.
• Ask how the finished work should be looked after in its first season, especially new turf.

Qualifications and safety

Larger schemes can affect drainage. New hard surfaces over 5 square metres in a front garden generally need to be permeable or drain to a lawn or border, otherwise planning permission may be needed.
