Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between hardscaping and regular landscaping?
Hardscaping focuses on building the solid, permanent features of your garden using materials like stone, concrete, and brick. Think of it as creating the ‘bones’ of your outdoor space – patios where you can sit and eat, walkways to move safely around your garden, or retaining walls to level sloping ground. Regular landscaping includes both these hard features and the softer elements like planting flowers, laying turf, and maintaining hedges. Hardscaping gives your garden structure and creates practical spaces you can actually use.
How long does a typical hardscaping project take?
The time needed depends on the size and complexity of your project. A simple patio might take 3-5 days to complete, whilst larger projects involving multiple features like retaining walls, steps, and extensive paving could take 2-3 weeks. We’ll give you a clear timeline during our initial consultation, and we always aim to finish on schedule whilst maintaining our high quality standards.
Do I need planning permission for hardscaping work?
Most hardscaping projects like patios, garden walls under 2 metres high, and standard driveways don’t require planning permission. However, if you live in a conservation area, have a listed property, or are planning major changes to your front garden, you might need permission. We’re happy to advise you on this and can help with any necessary applications.
How do I maintain my new hardscaping features?
One of the great benefits of quality hardscaping is that it requires very little maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional washing with soapy water will keep most surfaces looking their best. We’ll provide you with specific care instructions for your materials, and we also offer maintenance services if you’d prefer us to handle the upkeep for you.
