A piecemeal approach to garden improvements — a patio one year, new fencing the next, turf the year after — rarely produces a cohesive, beautiful result. A full makeover planned and delivered as a single project is more cost-effective (one mobilisation, one design process, one clear-up) and produces a garden where every element works together.
Leicestershire homeowners who invest in a full makeover consistently tell us it's the best money they've spent on their property. Gardens that were never used become the heart of family life. Properties that sat on the market sell quickly once the garden is transformed.
Our full makeover service covers everything from initial design through to planting, lighting, and final clean-up. We project-manage the entire process — bringing in our specialist groundworks, paving, artificial grass, decking and planting teams in the correct sequence, so you have a single point of contact and a predictable timeline from day one.
Existing features are removed — old paving, sheds, turf. Ground is excavated and levelled. Any drainage, power supplies for lighting, and irrigation groundwork is completed before surfaces go down.
Patios, paths, edging, steps and retaining walls are installed. This is the structural stage and typically takes the most time.
Artificial grass, decking or other soft surfaces are laid. Fencing, pergolas and garden structures are installed.
Planting goes in once surfaces are complete. Lighting is connected and tested. Final details — edging, gravel borders, furniture positioning — are finished.
We do a full walk-round with you, address any snagging, and hand over care instructions for all plants and materials. The garden is completely cleaned and ready to enjoy.
Gardens planned properly on paper — with accurate measurements, material selections and planting schemes — always come in closer to budget and look far more intentional than those that evolve on site.
Groundworks are invisible in the finished garden but account for 30–40% of project cost. Quotes that underspecify groundworks look cheaper but always escalate once work begins.
Laying a patio before running cables for garden lighting means digging it up again. Always plan the whole project sequence before starting — cables and drainage go in before hard surfaces.
Plants chosen in spring enthusiasm that end up in the wrong position or too close together are a waste of money. Get the structure right first, then plant.
Everything you need to know before getting started.
A typical family garden makeover in Leicester takes 2–4 weeks from start to finish, depending on scope. Larger projects with complex groundworks, extensive planting or bespoke structures can take 4–6 weeks. We'll give you a specific timeline during the design consultation.
Yes — for larger budgets we often split projects into phase 1 (hard landscaping and structure) and phase 2 (planting, lighting, finishing) several months apart. This lets you spread cost while ensuring the groundworks and structures are all planned correctly from the start.
