What a Full Garden Landscaping Project Covers in Stoke-on-Trent
Landscaping splits into two halves and most Stoke-on-Trent gardens need both. Hard landscaping is the structure, soft landscaping is everything that grows. Running them in the right order saves real money, because the heavy work has to come before the planting.
Hard landscaping: Patios, paths, steps, retaining walls, raised beds, edging, fencing and drainage. This sets the shape of the garden and it is by far the most disruptive stage, so it goes first.
Soft landscaping: Topsoil, turf, borders, hedging, shrubs and trees. It follows the heavy work and turns what looks like a building site back into a garden.
Levels and retaining: Sloping plots often need terracing or a retaining wall before anything else can be set out. Sorting levels early is what avoids awkward steps and permanently wet corners later on.
Drainage: Heavy clay holds water. Land drains, a soakaway and some thought about where water actually goes are the difference between a lawn and a bog every February.
Lighting and power: Ducting and cable are cheap to lay while the ground is already open and expensive to retrofit once everything is finished.
We take on whole gardens and single elements equally happily. If you want the hard landscaping done properly and would rather do the planting yourself, that is completely fine, and we will leave the ground prepared and ready for you.
Planning a Garden That Suits How You Use It
The gardens that work are planned around how people actually live in them rather than around a photograph. Before we quote anything we will ask how you want to spend time out there, which tells us more than a mood board does.
Where the sun really falls: Seating belongs where the light lands in the evening, which is not always just outside the back door. It is worth watching the garden for a few days before fixing the layout.
Low maintenance is a design decision: Wider hard surfaces, deeper mulched borders and slower growing planting cut the weekend workload substantially. All of it is far easier to build in at the start than to retrofit later.
Access for the build: Narrow side access changes both the method and the cost, because materials and spoil may have to come through the house or over the fence. We check that at survey stage rather than on the first morning.
Existing trees: Roots, shade and any tree preservation order affect what can be built and where. Anything mature is worth checking with the council before a design is drawn around it.
Phasing: A garden can be built across two or three stages to suit a budget, as long as levels, drainage and services are planned as one scheme from the beginning.
What you get back is a written scheme with the sequence, the materials and the cost of each element set out separately, so you can see exactly what you are buying and decide what to bring forward or hold back.
Why Choose Us
We plan landscaping to work alongside any driveway, patio or fencing work you’re having done, so the whole garden reads as one job rather than several unrelated ones.
What Affects the Price
Cost depends on the size of the garden, how much groundwork and levelling is needed, the planting and materials chosen, and whether retaining walls or raised beds are included.
