Hard landscaping
-
Guildford's chalk sits shallow through the town centre and along the Hog's Back, so a sub-base here is a different job from one on the London Clay north of the Downs.
-
Patios, paths, steps, retaining walls and hardstanding, in porcelain, natural stone, block paving or gravel.
-
The sub-base does the work, so it is dug and compacted to suit the ground underneath, not to a standard depth.
-
Falls set away from the house and edges properly restrained, so nothing ponds, creeps or lifts after a winter.
Turf and planting
-
The chalk gives thin, lime-rich soil, so camellias, rhododendrons and blueberries sulk here. We plant to what the ground will carry.
-
New lawns from turf or seed, on ground cleared, levelled and prepared rather than skimmed over and covered.
-
Beds dug through, improved and planted, with edging that holds its line against the grass.
-
Old turf, spoil and green waste taken away as muckaway, not stacked up behind the shed.
Garden drainage
-
North of Guildford on the London Clay, infiltration often is not viable at all, and we will say so rather than build a soakaway that backs up.
-
Soakaways, land drains and channel drains where water sits, and levelling or terracing on sloping plots.
-
Soakage tested to BRE Digest 365 before anything is designed around it, and kept over five metres from foundations.
-
Access, skips and muckaway sorted before the first day, so the job does not stall halfway up your drive.
