Who it's for Homeowners doing a driveway or patio and wanting the rest of the garden finished at the same time, buyers moving into a property with a neglected garden, and anyone whose existing lawn is patchy, waterlogged or overrun with weeds. When you need it New-build gardens that need starting from scratch, tired lawns that need lifting and re-laying, dog-owners considering artificial grass, and any garden that needs planting schemes designed to last more than one season. Why get it done properly A £300 pallet of turf laid on unprepared ground is a £300 mistake. The soil prep, levelling, membrane (for artificial), and drainage decide whether your lawn thrives or dies within a year. We do this properly. The cost of leaving it ## What happens if you delay, or hire the wrong crew Most landscaping problems come from cutting corners on the invisible bits, the soil quality under turf, the base under artificial grass, the drainage under planted borders. What looks perfect in month one browns off, goes bald, or waterlogs by month six. ### Risks of putting it off - New turf browning and dying because the soil beneath wasn't prepared - Artificial grass migrating or lifting from a soft or un-membrane'd base - Waterlogged borders killing planting through winter - Weeds pushing through artificial grass because the membrane was skipped - Uneven finished levels leaving the lawn looking amateur from day one ### Common mistakes homeowners make - Rolling turf straight onto compacted builder's rubble - Choosing cheap artificial grass that fades and matts within two summers - Skipping soil improvement in planted borders - Not planning garden lighting before finishing, chasing cables in later - Ignoring drainage on a north-facing or clay plot Our process ## Owner-led, from first visit to final sweep 1. 01 ### Design consultation Charlie walks the garden, listens to how you want to use it, and puts together a coherent scheme that considers hard landscaping, lawn, planting and lighting as one project. 2. 02 ### Fixed written quote 24–48 hours after the visit, you get a detailed quote covering every element, from soil prep to turf spec to plant schedule to lighting cable runs. 3. 03 ### Clearance and ground preparation Existing lawn/weeds/rubble stripped and removed. Soil turned, improved with topsoil where needed, and levelled properly before anything new goes down. 4. 04 ### Turfing or artificial grass installation Premium turf laid on a fresh 25–50mm topsoil layer, or artificial grass fitted onto a compacted sub-base with membrane and correct edging. Both hand-laid, both jointed carefully. 5. 05 ### Planting, borders and edging Plant beds prepared, plants placed and planted, mulch laid, edging installed. Cable ducts run for lighting if that's part of the scheme. 6. 06 ### Handover and aftercare You get a written aftercare schedule for the first 6 weeks (turf especially), and our 10-year workmanship guarantee on the base builds and installation. Why homeowners choose us ## The measurable benefits you get ### One team, one guarantee The same crew that lays your driveway or patio also handles the lawn, borders and planting, no handoffs, no finger-pointing when something's not right. ### Turf that actually thrives We prepare the soil properly, stripped, improved, levelled and rolled, before a single roll of turf lands. That's why our lawns still look good 12 months in. ### Premium artificial grass options We only fit UV-stable, longer-life artificial ranges with proper base, membrane and edging. Cheap alternatives fade and matt within two summers, we don't touch them. ### Coordinated hard + soft Levels, drainage and edging are planned across the whole garden, so your patio doesn't sit 20mm above the lawn and your borders don't drown in winter. ### Integrated lighting and power Cable ducts and IP-rated sockets run during the base build so lighting can be fitted now or added later without digging the garden up again. ### 10-year workmanship guarantee On the hard landscaping, base builds and installation. Plus the manufacturer's warranty on the artificial grass. £1M public liability insured. In detail ## Materials, methods and specification A great garden is a coordinated system, soil, drainage, hard surfaces, lawn, planting and lighting all working together. Here's how we build each layer. ### Turf specification Premium hard-wearing turf from established UK growers, cut fresh and delivered within 24 hours. Laid onto 25–50mm of graded topsoil over a rotovated, improved and levelled base. Rolled and watered on completion with a written aftercare schedule. ### Artificial grass systems Premium UV-stable artificial grass, typically 30–40mm pile, with realistic multi-tone yarn blends. Laid onto a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base with 20mm granite dust top layer, geotextile membrane, and concreted timber or block edging. Joined seamlessly with adhesive and tape, never with visible seams. ### Planting and borders Beds prepared with improved topsoil and compost, plants placed to a considered scheme, mulched to reduce watering and suppress weeds. Structural planting for year-round interest, not one-season colour. ### Edging Timber, sleeper, brick, block or metal edging concreted in place to divide lawn from patio, planting and paths. This is what keeps the finished garden looking crisp for years. ### Drainage and levels Falls set across the whole garden so patios, lawns and borders shed water where it should go, not towards your walls or into low-lying beds. Soakaways or land drains where the site demands. ### Lighting and power Cable ducts run during the base build for low-voltage LED lighting, IP-rated sockets and irrigation systems, so nothing has to be retro-fitted with mess and disruption. We cover **Hook, Basingstoke, Camberley, Fleet, Farnborough, Frimley, Andover, Reading, Winchester** and surrounding Hampshire.
