Transform Your Outdoor Space
with Quality Hard Landscaping

Installation times depend on size and complexity. A typical patio (4m x 4m) takes 3-5 days, while a standard driveway takes 5-7 days. Larger or more complex projects may take 2-3 weeks. We'll provide exact timelines during your consultation, factoring in weather conditions and material delivery schedules.

For Norfolk's climate, we recommend frost-resistant materials like natural stone, porcelain paving, or quality block paving. These materials handle freeze-thaw cycles well and maintain their appearance year-round. We avoid materials that can become slippery when wet and always include proper drainage to prevent winter damage.

Most hard landscaping projects don't require planning permission, but there are exceptions. Large driveways may need permission for drainage, and retaining walls over 1 metre high require building regulations approval. We'll advise you on any permissions needed and can assist with applications if required.

Proper drainage is crucial for longevity. We install appropriate sub-bases, incorporate falls for water runoff, and include drainage systems where needed. For permeable surfaces, we use materials that allow water to drain through. All our installations comply with sustainable drainage (SuDS) requirements.

Hard landscaping requires minimal maintenance when properly installed. Regular sweeping, occasional pressure washing, and annual joint sand top-ups for block paving. We provide detailed maintenance guides with every installation and offer ongoing maintenance services to keep your hard landscaping looking its best.

We always arrange utility location surveys before starting work and can design around existing trees, flower beds, and garden features you want to keep. Careful planning ensures minimal disruption to your existing landscape.
