How a garden job runs

Garden work starts with a visit or a set of photos, so the scope can be agreed: what is being cleared, what is being built and what the finished garden should look like. The quotation then sets out the work, including how green waste and spoil will be taken away. On the day, the ground is cleared first, the hard work such as fencing, paving or decking follows, and planting, edging and a final tidy finish the job.

What landscaping includes

The work is sized for modest domestic gardens, the kind of jobs that suit one tradesman and a van.

  • Small patios and paths
  • Fence panels, posts and garden gates
  • Garden tidy ups and clearance
  • Small lawns, turfing and neat edges
  • Decking for seating areas and sloping gardens

Lawns: new turf, repairs and patching

Not every tired lawn needs replacing. Scattered bare patches and worn tracks can often be reseeded or cut out and patched with fresh turf, as long as the soil underneath is sound and the cause, such as shade or a well used shortcut, is dealt with. The guide to lawn repair explains when reseeding or patching is enough.

Where most of the lawn is moss, weed or uneven, the ground is cleared, levelled and re-turfed instead, and the turfing cost guide sets out what goes into that. For gardens further out, see landscaping in Maidstone.

Common questions

Landscaping questions answered

A one-day tidy up for a typical Medway garden usually falls between roughly 200 and 400 pounds including green waste removal, depending on how overgrown things are.

Paving lasts longer and needs less upkeep, while decking suits sloping ground and costs less to level. The right answer depends on your ground and how you use the space.

Small and medium runs of domestic fencing, posts and gates can be replaced or repaired, with the existing line and neighbour boundaries checked first.

Yes. Waste removal is priced into the job unless you would rather keep the material for a compost heap or your own collection.

Yes. Cutting back overgrown borders, defining edges and reducing awkward planting usually makes the biggest difference in a compact garden.

The focus is on one-off improvements and tidy ups rather than weekly maintenance rounds, so each visit leaves the garden in a finished state.

Yes, where the soil is sound and the bare areas are limited. Patches are reseeded or cut out and re-turfed, and the cause of the damage is dealt with.
