The Landscape Company
Godalming · Surrey
Planning landscaping work in Godalming, Farncombe, Busbridge, Milford or the surrounding Surrey villages? This knowledge hub brings together our practical guides on patios, driveways, drainage, ground conditions, retaining walls, planning, costs and complete garden transformations.
Landscaping in this area can involve everything from heavier clay soils and tree-rooted boundaries to steep, terraced gardens and difficult changes in level. Understanding the ground conditions and construction requirements before work begins can make a major difference to the finished result.
Use the guides below to understand the key issues, compare options and make better-informed decisions before starting your project.
Learn how patios are constructed properly, including the differences between porcelain and natural stone and the importance of foundations, levels, falls and drainage.
Understand the construction requirements for driveways and the practical considerations around excavation, sub-bases, drainage, access and removal of waste.
Ground conditions are often one of the most important parts of a landscaping project. These guides explain drainage, soil types, tree roots and clay movement and how they can affect construction.
Retaining walls, changes in level and long-term ground movement need to be considered before construction, particularly on sloping or difficult sites.
Before committing to a project, it helps to understand planning requirements, likely costs and what to look for when choosing a landscaping contractor.
For larger projects, our complete garden transformation guide explains how a major landscaping project can be approached from the initial assessment through to construction.
