Front garden makeovers: what's involved

What the service is

We redesign and rebuild front gardens: paths and entrance steps, gravel beds, borders, planting areas and edging, planned around the house and driveway.

Who it's for

Homeowners with worn front lawns, cracked paths, awkward steps or a front garden that's hard to keep looking tidy.

When it makes sense

When the front of the house looks tired, before selling, or alongside a new driveway.

Why it needs care

Front gardens have to work with the driveway, the pavement, drainage and access to the door, so the layout needs thought.

What happens if it's left

Front gardens take a lot of wear and are often the last part of a home to get attention.

Worn lawns

Small front lawns get trampled and patchy, and are fiddly to cut.

Uneven paths and steps

Cracked or uneven paving is unsightly and a trip risk.

No clear layout

Without defined beds and paths, front gardens look untidy quickly.

Common mistakes we see

  • ✕ Laying gravel without a membrane and proper edging.
  • ✕ Steps with uneven heights.
  • ✕ Choosing materials that clash with the house or driveway.
