Our back garden was a sloping disaster. They terraced it in oak sleepers, ran a path of York stone and planted the whole thing. Six months on it looks like it has been there forever.

Sophie M.Muswell Hill

Resin driveway, side path and a new gate. Done in eight working days, on price, and the apprentice cleaned the road after the skip left.

Tom & IyobelCrouch End

We had a small budget and a complicated brief. They were the only studio that asked us how we actually used the garden before drawing anything. Brilliant.

FAQ

Questions before we begin.

00

A standard front driveway runs four to seven working days, depending on excavation depth and material. We dig, lay sub-base, install edging and finish in that sequence, with a permitted skip on site throughout. Weather can extend things by a day or two; we never lay resin or mortar in heavy rain.

00

Both. The studio includes a Society of Garden Designers member for larger projects, and our hardscape lead draws every driveway and patio personally. You get plans, elevations and plant lists before any quote is finalised.

00

Anything mature stays unless you ask us to move it. We tag trees and shrubs at the survey, plate-protect over root zones during the build and bring in an arborist if work goes within three metres of a protected tree.

00

Ten-year workmanship guarantee on driveways and hardscape, twelve months on planting and lawn, transferable if you sell the house. Aftercare guidance is included for the first growing season.
