Complete Garden Landscaping, From Design Through to Construction

A successful garden needs more than individual features added one at a time. The layout, ground levels, drainage, access, materials, planting and structural elements all need to work together.

LS Garden Design & Build provides a complete residential landscaping service, allowing one experienced team to manage the different parts of your project. This could mean redesigning an entire garden, improving an awkward layout or combining several improvements into one coordinated build.

Our landscaping work can include:

Garden design and layout planning
Ground preparation and excavation
Turfing and planting
Patios and paving
Timber and composite decking
Fencing and garden gates
Retaining walls and raised beds

Garden steps and level changes
Drainage and water management
Artificial grass
Pergolas and outdoor living features
Outdoor kitchens
Summer houses and garden structures
Ponds and decorative water features

This joined-up approach is particularly useful for larger garden renovations where several elements need to be planned and constructed in the right order.

Landscaping Services for Practical, Usable Gardens

Every garden presents different opportunities and challenges. Some homeowners want a low-maintenance space for everyday family life. Others need to solve drainage, privacy or level issues before the garden can be used properly.

Our landscaping services can be tailored around the property, the way you want to use the garden and the type of finish you prefer.

Garden Design & Planning

Good landscaping starts with a practical plan. We consider movement through the garden, seating areas, planting, levels, sunlight, drainage and how different materials will work together. Our dedicated garden design service is suitable for homeowners who want help turning ideas into a buildable, cohesive layout.

See Garden Design

Patios & Paving

A professionally constructed patio can create a durable area for dining, entertaining and everyday outdoor use. We prepare the ground properly and consider levels and water movement before laying the finished surface. Explore our patio installation services for more information about creating paved areas within your garden.

See Patios

Decking & Garden Zones

Decking can create useful seating, dining and relaxation areas, particularly where a garden has uneven ground or where a raised surface works better with the surrounding layout. We install softwood, hardwood and composite options. Find out more about our garden decking services.

See Decking

Fencing & Garden Boundaries

Fencing helps provide privacy, security and a clear structure around the garden. We work with solutions including closeboard fencing, flat-panel styles, Jacksons Fencing systems and bespoke garden gates. Our garden fencing service can be completed independently or incorporated into a wider landscaping project.

See Fencing

Walls & Level Changes

Sloping or uneven gardens can often be made more usable by introducing retaining walls, raised planting areas, garden steps or tiered sections. We build retaining walls using appropriate foundations, materials and drainage considerations to create stable changes in level that fit naturally into the wider garden.

Drainage & Groundworks

Waterlogged lawns, standing water and poorly draining ground can affect both the appearance and long-term performance of a garden. Where drainage is an issue, we can incorporate solutions such as regrading, French drains, perforated drainage systems, soakaways or other groundworks where appropriate. Our dedicated land drainage service explains the options in more detail.

See Land Drainage

The Royal Horticultural Society’s guidance on garden drainage also explains why effective drainage can be important in wet or poorly draining ground.

Landscaping Designed Around How You Use Your Garden

The best garden is not simply the one that looks good in photographs. It needs to work for the people using it every day.

A landscaping project can be planned around priorities such as:

Creating a practical family garden
Building an outdoor dining or entertaining area
Making a compact garden feel better organised
Improving privacy from neighbouring properties
Reducing ongoing garden maintenance
Creating safer routes through different garden levels

Replacing tired paving, fencing or decking
Improving lawn and planting areas
Addressing persistent drainage problems
Combining hard and soft landscaping more effectively
Adding an outdoor kitchen, pergola or summer house
Making previously awkward or unused areas functional

For homeowners looking to create a more complete outdoor entertaining space, our bespoke outdoor kitchen service can be incorporated alongside paving, seating, planting and other landscape features.

Solving Common Problems in London Gardens

Urban gardens often require careful planning because space, access, soil conditions and existing structures can all influence what is practical.

Our landscaping experience includes working with gardens affected by:

Poor Garden Drainage

Standing water and saturated lawns can make gardens difficult to use and may affect paving, planting and other landscaping. The solution depends on levels, soil conditions and where excess water can safely be managed.

Sloping Garden Levels

A steep or irregular garden can restrict usable space. Retaining walls, garden steps, raised beds and carefully planned terraces can help create safer and more functional levels.

Limited Garden Access

Many London properties have restricted side or rear access. Site planning needs to account for how materials, equipment and waste can move through the property without unnecessary disruption.

Lack of Garden Privacy

Fencing, planting, screening and the positioning of seating areas can all help create a more private outdoor environment without making the garden feel overly enclosed.

Disconnected Garden Layouts

A garden may contain individually useful features that do not work well together. A coordinated redesign can improve routes, sightlines, zoning and the relationship between lawns, patios, planting and structures.

High Garden Maintenance

Material and planting choices can significantly influence ongoing upkeep. Composite decking, well-planned paving, artificial grass and structured planting are among the options available when lower maintenance is a priority.

Our Landscaping Process

Knowing what happens after you make an enquiry can make planning a significant garden project much easier. We manage projects through a clear process from the initial conversation to final completion.

1 Consultation & Site Visit

We start by discussing what you want to achieve, how you currently use the garden and the issues you would like to solve. We then assess the site, including access, levels, existing features and practical requirements.

2 Planning & Recommendations

We consider the most suitable layout, landscaping features, materials and construction requirements. Where a larger redesign is involved, the design stage helps ensure each element works as part of the whole garden.

3 Quotation & Scheduling

Following the site assessment, we provide a clear quotation for the agreed work. Once you are ready to proceed, the project can be scheduled and materials organised.

4 Groundworks & Construction

Our in-house team carries out the required preparation and construction. Depending on the project, this can include excavation, drainage, foundations, walling, paving, decking, fencing and other landscape features.

5 Finishing & Completion

Planting, turfing and other finishing elements are completed where required. We check the finished work and leave the garden ready for you to use and enjoy.

Built Around Proper Groundwork & Long-Term Performance

What sits beneath a patio, wall, lawn or deck matters just as much as the visible finish.

Preparation can include excavation, levelling, sub-base construction, foundations and drainage. Taking these elements into account from the beginning helps create landscaping that performs properly rather than simply looking finished on the day the project is completed.

Drainage is particularly important when new hard surfaces alter the way rainfall moves through an outdoor space. For front gardens and driveways, homeowners can also review the UK Government’s guidance on permeable surfacing when considering how rainwater runoff should be managed.

Our experience across garden construction means drainage, structural landscaping and finished features can be considered together rather than treated as unrelated jobs.

Why Choose One Team for Design & Build?

Using one landscaping company to manage the complete project can make it easier to coordinate different stages of the work.
