Recent work
Six jobs from the last year. Replace these with your own photographs when you have them — the frames are already the right shape.
Sandstone patio, Mill Lane
Thirty square metres of riven sandstone, laid to fall away from the house. Six days including the base.
PavingClose-board fence, Weir Close
Forty metres of boundary replaced in concrete posts, so it does not rot at the base. Three days.
FencingKitchen garden, Hollow Farm
Four raised beds in untreated oak, with a gravel path wide enough for a barrow. Five days.
Design & buildGravel drive, Station Road
Resin-bound edge so the gravel stays where it is put, and a planted strip to soften it. Four days.
DrivewaysCommunal grounds, Fernhill Court
Fortnightly maintenance for a block of twenty-two flats. Same two people every visit.
Maintenance contractWhat we do
Prices are a realistic starting point for this area, not a quote. Replace them with yours, or delete the figures entirely.
Garden design
A drawn plan, a planting list and a build cost, so you can decide before committing to anything.
From $450Planting
Borders, hedging and trees chosen for your soil and aspect, not for what was left at the nursery.
From $38/m²Lawns
Turf, seed, levelling and renovation. We will tell you honestly if yours only needs feeding.
From $14/m²Patios & paths
Sandstone, porcelain or brick, on a base that is built properly rather than quickly.
From $120/m²Fencing
Close-board, panel or post-and-rail, on concrete posts so the next person does not redo it.
From $65/mMaintenance
Weekly or fortnightly visits for gardens and communal grounds. The same two people each time.
From $45/visitHow a job goes
No surprises, because the number is agreed before anyone turns up with a van.
You send photos, or we visit
Photographs and rough measurements are enough for a ballpark. For anything structural we come and look, free.
A fixed written quote
Itemised, so you can see what the patio costs separately from the planting and cut either one.
A date, in writing
We tell you the week we start and the days we expect to be there. If weather moves it, you hear from us that morning.
We clear up and come back
All waste goes with us. We return after a season to check the planting has taken, at no cost.

What people say
Copy real reviews word for word or leave this section out. Never write one.
“They talked us out of the expensive option. The lawn we actually needed cost half what we had budgeted and it has been perfect through two summers.”
Helen M., Brailsford“Quote on the Tuesday, started the following Monday, finished when they said. The patio has not shifted at all.”
Dan R., Mill Lane“They maintain the grounds for our block. Same two lads every fortnight, and the place has never looked better.”
Fernhill Court residentsQuestions we get asked
Do you charge for a quote?
No. Visiting, measuring and pricing are free, and you get the quote in writing whether or not you use us.
What happens if it rains for a week?
Groundwork stops, planting usually does not. We tell you the same morning rather than leaving you wondering, and the price does not change.
Do you take the waste away?
Yes, it is in the quote. Soil, turf, old fencing and rubble all go with us and are disposed of properly.
Will the planting survive?
We guarantee the plants we supply for two years, provided the garden is watered in the first summer. We come back after a season to check.
Can you work from a designer's plan?
Yes, and we are happy to. Send the drawing with your enquiry and we will price it as drawn.
