Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new patio cost in the UK?

A new patio typically costs between £1,500 and £5,000 depending on size, materials, and ground preparation. Indian sandstone is a popular mid-range choice at around £40 to £80 per square metre installed. Porcelain paving is at the premium end, while concrete slabs are the most affordable.

When is the best time of year for landscaping work?

Spring and autumn are ideal for most landscaping projects. Planting is best in autumn when the soil is warm and moist. Hard landscaping like patios and fencing can be done year-round but is easier in drier months. Avoid heavy ground work in winter when the soil is waterlogged.

Do I need planning permission for garden fencing?

Fencing up to 2 metres high generally does not require planning permission under permitted development rights. Fencing adjacent to a highway must not exceed 1 metre. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, you should check with your local planning authority first.

How much does tree surgery cost?

Tree surgery costs vary widely depending on the size and species of tree. Crown reduction on a medium tree costs around £400 to £800. Full tree removal ranges from £500 to £3,000 or more for large trees. Stump grinding adds £100 to £300. Always use a qualified tree surgeon with insurance.

How often should my lawn be maintained?

During the growing season from March to October, lawns should be mowed weekly. Feed your lawn 3 to 4 times per year with seasonal fertiliser. Scarify and aerate once a year in autumn. Professional lawn care services can handle all of this on a regular schedule.
