Garden Landscaping & Design
A well-designed garden combines practical layout with the right plants, materials, and features to suit how you use the space. We handle every stage, from initial concept to final planting, across properties in Slough and the surrounding SL postcodes.
Garden Design
We start every project with a detailed design process that takes into account your garden's size, soil type, and sun exposure.
Our designers produce layout plans and, where helpful, digital visuals so you can see how the finished space will look before any work begins. We factor in drainage, existing trees, and boundary lines at this stage to avoid costly changes later.
Whether you want a low-maintenance layout or a garden built around entertaining space, we adjust the design to match your priorities. We also consider how the garden will look through each season, not just at its best in summer.
Full Garden Landscaping
Full landscaping projects cover the complete transformation of a garden, from groundwork to the final details.
Our team manages:
- Site clearance – removing old structures, overgrown plants, or unsuitable surfaces
- Levelling and grading – correcting slopes and ensuring proper drainage
- Hard landscaping – patios, paths, walls, and other structural elements
- Soft landscaping – lawns, planting beds, and borders
- Final finishing – edging, mulching, and site clean-up
We coordinate these stages so the work progresses in a logical order, reducing delays and disruption to your property. Most full landscaping projects in Slough take between one and three weeks, depending on garden size and the scope of work involved.
Soft Landscaping
Soft landscaping covers the living elements of your garden, including lawns, shrubs, trees, and planting beds.
We select grass varieties and plants based on your soil conditions and how much sunlight different parts of the garden receive. This reduces the risk of poor growth or dieback after installation.
Our soft landscaping work includes turfing, seeding, hedge planting, and the preparation of beds with suitable soil amendments. We also advise on irrigation needs, particularly for new lawns or recently planted areas that require consistent watering during establishment.
Getting the soft landscaping right from the start reduces the amount of maintenance your garden will need going forward.
Garden Makeovers & Renovations
A garden makeover updates an existing space without necessarily starting from scratch.
We assess what's already in place, such as mature trees, established lawns, or usable hard landscaping, and work out what can be kept, repaired, or improved. This often reduces both cost and project time compared to a full rebuild.
Common renovation work includes:
Issue
Our Solution
Overgrown or patchy lawn
Reseeding or re-turfing
Cracked or uneven paving
Repair or replacement
Outdated planting schemes
New borders and plant selection
Poor drainage
Regrading and drainage installation
We talk you through the options at the assessment stage, so you understand which changes will have the biggest impact on the garden's overall condition and appearance.
Front Garden Landscaping
Front gardens need a different approach, as they're usually smaller and need to balance practicality with kerb appeal.
We often work with driveways, pathways, and boundary treatments such as low walls or fencing in these spaces. Parking requirements frequently shape the design, particularly on properties where off-street parking is a priority for homeowners.
Planting in front gardens tends to favour low-maintenance, hardy species that look presentable year-round without requiring constant attention. We also consider how the front garden connects visually with the property's exterior, including door colour, brickwork, and existing boundary features.
A well-planned front garden improves the overall look of the property and can support its market value.
Planting & Garden Borders
Planting schemes and borders give a garden its structure and seasonal interest.
We select plants based on your garden's light levels, soil pH, and how much time you want to spend on maintenance. Mixed borders combining shrubs, perennials, and seasonal bedding plants tend to provide the longest period of visual interest throughout the year.
Border edging, whether in brick, timber, or metal, helps define planting areas and keeps lawns looking tidy. We also plan planting density carefully, as overcrowding can lead to poor air circulation and increased disease risk among plants.
Our approach to planting balances aesthetic goals with the practical realities of UK weather and seasonal change.
Patios, Paving & Hard Landscaping
Built features form the structural backbone of any garden, and getting them right affects drainage, durability, and how the rest of the space functions. We work with natural stone, concrete, block paving, and gravel to build patios, paths, walls, and drainage systems that hold up against Berkshire's weather.
Patio Installation
We install patios using Indian sandstone, porcelain, concrete flags, and natural stone, depending on your budget and the look you want. Every patio starts with proper excavation and a compacted sub-base, since skipping this step leads to cracking and movement within a few years.
We lay a full mortar bed rather than spot-bedding slabs, which gives better long-term stability. Jointing is finished with either traditional mortar or a resin-based compound, both of which resist weed growth.
We also build in a slight fall across the surface so rainwater runs off rather than pooling. Most residential patios take between three and five days to complete, depending on size and access.
Garden Paving
Paving covers driveways, pathways, and seating areas, and we fit the material to the use it gets. Block paving suits driveways because it handles vehicle weight and can be replaced panel by panel if damaged.
Permeable paving is worth considering for front gardens, since it meets drainage regulations that apply to hard surfaces near the highway. We also lay:
- Natural stone setts for a traditional finish
- Concrete block paving for cost-effective durability
- Gravel with edging restraints for a lower-cost, free-draining option
We compact each layer of sub-base thoroughly before laying the final surface, which is the main factor in how long paving lasts.
Garden Paths & Edging
Paths need a firmer base than most people expect, particularly if they're used regularly in wet weather. We dig out the path line, add a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, then lay the surface material on top, whether that's paving slabs, gravel, or brick.
Edging keeps materials contained and stops gravel or bark from spreading into lawns or beds. We fit edging in several materials:
Edging Type
Best Suited For
Timber
Informal, cottage-style gardens
Steel
Clean, modern lines
Brick or block
Traditional paths and borders
Concrete
Budget-friendly, long-lasting
We set edging below the finished surface level so mowers and strimmers can pass over without catching.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls hold back sloped ground and are necessary on any site with a significant level change. We build these from brick, natural stone, timber sleepers, or concrete block, choosing the material based on wall height and soil load.
Walls over one metre require proper footings and, in some cases, structural calculations, which we factor into the design before work starts. We always include drainage behind the wall, usually gravel backfill with a perforated pipe, since trapped water is the most common cause of wall failure.
For larger level changes, we sometimes recommend terracing with two shorter walls rather than one tall one, as this reduces the load on the structure and often looks better in smaller gardens.
Garden Drainage
Poor drainage causes more long-term damage to gardens than almost any other issue, leading to waterlogged lawns, damp patios, and unstable foundations near walls. We assess how water moves across your site before any hard landscaping work begins.
Where needed, we install:
- French drains to redirect groundwater away from structures
- Soakaways to disperse surface water into the ground
- Channel drains across driveways and patios to catch surface run-off
- Land drains for larger gardens with persistent waterlogging
We tie these systems into existing drainage where possible rather than creating isolated solutions that only address part of the problem.
Hard Landscaping
Hard landscaping covers every built element in the garden: patios, paths, walls, steps, driveways, and the foundations for structures like pergolas. We approach this as one connected system rather than separate jobs, since paving, drainage, and retaining walls all affect each other.
Getting the groundwork right at the start determines how well everything performs over time. We handle the full sequence, from excavation and sub-base work through to the final surface finish, so the structural elements of your garden work together rather than being fitted piecemeal.
Garden Maintenance & Lawn Care
A well-kept garden requires consistent attention throughout the year, from seasonal tidying to the specific demands of lawn health. We provide the routine care and specialist treatment needed to keep both residential and commercial outdoor spaces in good condition.
Garden Maintenance
We handle the regular upkeep that keeps a garden looking tidy and functional throughout the seasons.
Our services include:
- Weeding and bed maintenance
- Hedge trimming and shaping
- Pruning of shrubs and small trees
- Garden clearance and waste removal
- Seasonal planting and bed preparation
- Jet washing of patios and paths
We schedule visits according to what your garden needs rather than a fixed calendar, since growth rates vary between spring, summer, and autumn. For gardens that have been neglected, we can carry out a full clearance before setting up an ongoing maintenance plan. We also offer one-off visits for those who need their garden brought up to standard for a specific occasion or before putting a property on the market.
Lawn Care & Maintenance
Lawns need different treatment depending on the time of year and the condition of the soil beneath them.
Service
Purpose
Mowing
Keeps grass at an even, healthy height
Scarifying
Removes thatch and moss build-up
Aeration
Improves drainage and root growth
Feeding
Restores nutrients to tired soil
Turfing
Replaces patchy or damaged areas
We assess the soil type and drainage of each lawn before recommending a treatment plan, as these factors affect how grass responds to feeding or aeration. Where a lawn has become too thin or uneven to recover through treatment alone, we offer full re-turfing. For new gardens or those undergoing a wider landscaping project, we also lay turf as part of the finished design.
Commercial Grounds Maintenance
Businesses, housing developments, and public spaces in Slough rely on us to keep their grounds presentable and safe for regular use.
We work with:
- Office complexes and business parks
- Housing associations and residential developments
- Retail and hospitality premises
- Schools and community buildings
Our commercial contracts cover mowing, hedge maintenance, litter clearance, and seasonal planting, arranged on a schedule that fits the site's footfall and appearance requirements. We understand that commercial grounds often need to meet health and safety standards, so we pay particular attention to path clearance, visibility around entrances, and the removal of overgrown vegetation that could pose a hazard. Contracts can be adjusted as a site's needs change, whether that means increasing visit frequency during growing season or scaling back over winter.

Landscaping Costs & Quotes
Pricing for landscaping work varies based on garden size, project complexity, and the materials involved. Below, we break down what you can expect to pay across common services we offer in Slough.
Garden Landscaping Costs
A full garden landscaping project typically starts at £1,634 and can reach £4,801 or more for larger or more complex gardens. The final figure depends on factors such as plot size, existing ground conditions, and the scope of design changes requested.
Broader market data shows landscaping projects in Slough ranging from £740 to £23,000, reflecting the wide gap between small-scale updates and complete garden transformations.
When we quote a project, we account for:
- Garden size and layout
- Soil quality and drainage requirements
- Planting choices and plant maturity
- Design complexity, including levels, borders, and features
We provide a free, no-obligation quote before any work begins, so you know the expected cost upfront.
Patio & Hard Landscaping Costs
Hard landscaping covers patios, pathways, walls, and other structural features in a garden. Costs here depend heavily on material choice, with options such as natural stone, porcelain, concrete, and block paving each carrying different price points.
Labour costs also shift based on the size of the area being paved and the groundwork required beforehand, including excavation and base preparation. Projects involving retaining walls or level changes tend to sit at the higher end of the pricing scale due to the extra time and materials involved.
We assess each site individually, as ground conditions in Slough gardens can vary from one property to the next. Our quotes break down material and labour costs separately, so you can see exactly where your budget is being spent.
Garden Maintenance Costs
Ongoing garden maintenance is priced differently from one-off landscaping projects, as it's typically billed on a recurring basis rather than a flat project fee. Costs depend on:
- Garden size
- Frequency of visits (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly)
- Specific tasks required, such as lawn care, hedge trimming, or seasonal planting
We tailor maintenance plans to suit both the garden and your schedule, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all rate. For a precise figure, we recommend requesting a quote based on your garden's current condition and the level of upkeep you need.
From Initial Consultation To Completed Landscaping
Every project we undertake follows a structured process, from the first assessment of your outdoor space through to the final finishing touches. This approach keeps timelines clear and ensures the work matches your garden's specific conditions and your preferences.
Step 1: Site Visit & Consultation
We start with an on-site visit to assess your garden's current condition. This includes checking soil type, drainage patterns, sun exposure, and existing structures or planting.
During this visit, we discuss what you want from the space. Whether that's a low-maintenance lawn, a new patio, or a full garden redesign, we listen to your priorities and budget range.
We also take measurements and photographs to document the site. This information forms the basis for the recommendations we provide next.
Our team will point out any practical constraints we notice, such as:
- Drainage issues that need addressing before other work begins
- Boundary lines or access restrictions
- Existing trees or structures that affect design options
Step 2: Planning, Recommendations & Quote
After the site visit, we put together a plan based on what we observed and what you told us. This includes material suggestions, layout options, and a realistic timeline for the work.
We provide a written quote that breaks down costs for labour, materials, and any additional services such as turfing or hardscaping. You will know exactly what is included before any work starts.
We're happy to adjust the plan based on your feedback. If you want to scale back certain elements or prioritise specific areas, we can revise the proposal accordingly.
Once you approve the plan and quote, we schedule a start date. Smaller projects, like planting or lawn care, typically take a few days. Larger projects, such as full redesigns or hardscaping work, can take several weeks depending on scope.
Step 3: Landscaping, Installation & Finishing
Once work begins, our team handles everything from groundwork to final planting. This includes tasks such as turfing, laying patios or driveways, installing fencing, and preparing beds for planting.
We work in stages, completing structural elements like hardscaping before moving on to softer features like lawns and planting. This sequence reduces the risk of damage to finished sections during later stages of the build.
Throughout the project, we check our work against the original plan to confirm it meets the agreed specifications. Any adjustments are discussed with you directly.
On completion, we carry out a final walkthrough together. This gives you the chance to review the finished space and raise any questions before we consider the project complete.
