Find a local landscaper
Landscaping quotes vary more than almost any other trade because the groundwork you can't see — bases, drainage and levels — is where most of the cost sits. Ask what's under the surface, not just what's on it.
What landscapers do
Landscapers design and build outdoor spaces: patios, paths, decking, turfing, planting, retaining walls, drainage and garden lighting.
Typical landscaper jobs
- Patios in porcelain, sandstone or block paving
- Composite and timber decking
- Turfing, levelling and artificial grass
- Sleeper beds, retaining walls and steps
- Garden drainage and soakaways
- Full garden redesign and planting schemes
When you might need one
- The garden is waterlogged, uneven or unusable
- You want more usable outdoor living space
- After building work has churned up the ground
What to include when you post the job
The more of this you give up front, the more accurate the quotes you get back.
- Give the garden size and any slope or level change
- Say what access is like for machinery and materials
- Add photos from a few angles including the house side
- Say whether you have a design or want ideas
Questions to ask a landscaper
- What base build-up are you using under the paving?
- How is surface water being dealt with?
- Is spoil removal and skip hire included?
- What guarantee is there against sinking or movement?

Landscapers FAQs
How much does a new patio cost?
A well-built porcelain or sandstone patio typically costs £120–£200 per square metre installed in the UK, including excavation, base and pointing.
Is artificial grass a good idea?
It suits shaded, heavily used or low-maintenance gardens, but needs a properly compacted, free-draining base. Poorly laid artificial grass ripples and holds water.
When is the best time to landscape?
Hard landscaping can be done year-round given dry enough ground; turf and planting establish best in spring and autumn.
