Why Homeowners Choose Us

Why Homeowners Choose Total Driveway Specialist Ltd for Landscaping in Goffs Oak

Structural garden work carries more risk if done incorrectly than most surface level jobs, which is why we treat retaining walls and groundworks with the same care as any load bearing structure.

01

Correctly specified foundations

Particularly for retaining walls, where getting this wrong can lead to movement or failure over time.

02

Fully insured, experienced tradespeople

Carrying out structural and surfacing work to a consistent standard.

03

Clear, written quotes

Covering the full scope of the project before work begins.

04

Careful attention to drainage and levels

Essential for any retaining wall or sloped garden project.

We would rather explain what a project genuinely requires than under specify a wall or path that fails to hold up over time.

Retaining Walls

Retaining Wall and Garden Wall Options

A retaining wall needs to do more than look good, it needs to hold ground securely and drain correctly. We install several types depending on the site and the look you are after.

  • Sleeper retaining walls. Using timber sleepers to create a natural, robust finish well suited to level changes in garden settings.
  • Gabion retaining walls. Using stone filled wire cages for a distinctive, textured look that also allows water to drain freely through the structure.
  • Brick and block garden walling. For boundary walls, feature walls or more traditional retaining structures that match existing brickwork.

Our specialists will assess the height and load involved before recommending a wall type, since taller or heavily loaded walls need more robust foundations and drainage than a low garden feature wall.

Paths & Paving

Garden Paths and Paving Design Options

A well designed path or paved area ties different parts of a garden together and makes it genuinely usable, not just decorative.

  • A choice of paving materials. From natural stone to block paving, depending on the style of your garden and property.
  • Curved or straight path layouts. Designed to suit how the space is actually walked through and used.
  • Defined edging. Keeping paths and paved areas neat and preventing surrounding beds or lawn from encroaching.
  • Level and gradient management. Particularly important on sloped gardens where steps or graded paths may be needed.

We can talk through material and layout options during your survey, including how any new paving ties in with existing driveway or patio surfaces.

Our Landscaping Process

Our Landscaping Process

Hard landscaping projects tend to be more varied than a standard driveway, so our process is built around understanding your garden before recommending any structural work.

    Site Survey and Design Discussion

    Assessing levels, ground conditions and how you want to use the space.

  2. 2

    Groundworks

    Including excavation and preparation for any structural elements.

  3. 3

    Structural Installation

    Building retaining walls, foundations or walling to the required specification.

  4. 4

    Surfacing

    Laying paths or paving to the agreed design and materials.

  5. 5

    Finishing

    Completing edging, jointing and any detailing.

Larger projects are often phased, and our landscapers will explain a realistic sequence and timescale as part of your quote.

Landscaping Costs

How Much Does Landscaping Cost in Goffs Oak?

Hard landscaping costs vary more than almost any other service we offer, since a small path and a full retaining wall project involve very different amounts of material, labour and groundwork. Rather than give you a figure that would be meaningless without seeing your garden, we quote every project individually.

Costs are generally shaped by:

The scale and scope of the project. As a single path differs significantly from a full retaining wall or multi-feature garden.

The type of feature involved. Since retaining walls typically require more groundwork than paving or paths.

Ground conditions and existing levels. Particularly on sloped or uneven sites.

Materials chosen. As sleeper, gabion, brick and paving options all vary in cost.

Site access. As gardens with limited access can affect how materials and equipment are brought in.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for a garden wall or retaining wall?

This depends largely on the height of the structure and its position relative to boundaries. Lower garden walls generally do not require permission, but taller retaining walls or those near a boundary may need it. We can advise on this during your survey.

How long does a typical hard landscaping project take?

This varies considerably depending on scope. A single garden path may take a day or two, while a retaining wall or larger multi-feature project can take significantly longer. We provide a realistic timescale once we understand the full scope of your project.

Can you combine landscaping work with a new driveway or patio?

Yes, many of our projects combine hard landscaping features with driveway or patio work, and planning these together often gives a more cohesive finish and can be more efficient than treating them as separate projects.

Is my garden suitable for a retaining wall if it's on a slope?

Sloped gardens are actually one of the most common reasons homeowners need a retaining wall, as it allows the space to be levelled or terraced into more usable areas. We assess ground conditions and slope during the survey to recommend the right wall type.

What should I expect during a hard landscaping consultation?

We will walk the garden with you, discuss how you currently use the space and what you would like to change, and address ground conditions, levels and access before talking through suitable options and next steps.
