Garden Landscaping Services

Artificial Grass Supply & Fit

Covers ground assessment, sub-base preparation, weed membrane, seaming, edge finishing, and rubber infill where specified. Pile height options typically range from 20 mm to 40 mm; drainage rate and product grade are confirmed at survey stage.

Decking Installation & Replacement

Covers joist frame construction, board laying, fascia finishing, and slip-resistant surface treatment where specified. Joist spacing is set to the board manufacturer’s recommendation, typically 400 mm centres for composite and 600 mm for softwood.

Fencing & Gates

Covers fence panels, posts, gravel boards, gates, hinges, and latches as a single supply-and-fit job. Post condition and ground stability are checked before quoting, Fenland soil movement is a common cause of gate sag and post lean that needs addressing at installation.

Garden Design & Planning

Covers measurements, soil and drainage assessment, sunlight check, and a scaled layout showing patio, paths, borders, and lawn positions. The plan lets you adjust scope and phase the work before committing to any materials.

Garden Drainage & Groundwork

Covers site survey, levels check, trenching, French drain or soakaway installation, and topsoil reinstatement. Correct drainage is quoted before paving or turf, not added afterwards when standing water reveals a problem that groundwork should have prevented.

Garden Landscaping in Peterborough

Covers the complete scope: flower beds, lawn, paving, edging, and planting schemes. Each element is quoted as a separate line so you can adjust scope before any work starts.

Garden Makeovers & Full Renovations

Covers site survey, clearance, drainage and groundworks, hard landscaping, turf or planting, and fencing as a single coordinated project. Each stage is itemised separately so you can see the full scope and phase what is not needed immediately.

Garden Paths & Driveways

Covers site assessment, excavation, sub-base preparation, surface laying, edging, and drainage channels. Hard standings over 5 square metres require permeable surfacing or managed runoff under Peterborough City Council planning guidance, confirmed before work starts.

Garden Walls & Retaining Walls

Covers excavation, concrete strip foundations, wall construction, weep holes, and backfill compaction. Walls over 2 metres or within 1 metre of an adopted road may require planning permission, confirmed at survey stage before work is quoted.

Hard Landscaping

Covers all structural garden surfaces and built elements. A ground level and drainage check comes before any excavation, so the finished patio or path stays stable rather than sinking or pooling water within a season.

Patios & Paving

Material choice and correct build-up are quoted together. Excavation depth, sub-base compaction, mortar bed, and drainage fall are included in the scope, not extras added after the slab price is agreed.

Raised Beds & Planting

Covers frame construction, membrane lining, drainage layer, topsoil and compost fill, and block planting to suit the light and space. A practical fix for Peterborough’s heavy clay ground where drainage is poor and direct planting into the soil gives poor results.

Turfing & Lawns

Covers old turf removal, soil loosening, topsoil or compost addition, and staggered joint laying. Ground preparation is included in the scope, not a separate extra, because skipping it is the most common reason new turf fails within a season.
