A local option for Kidderminster homeowners
Kidderminster is one of the busiest towns in north Worcestershire and sits comfortably inside our working radius. People there search for builders, landscapers and driveway companies more than in most towns nearby, and we offer all three from a single fully insured business.
Our main work is driveways and patios. Alongside that we carry out hard landscaping, general building, bricklaying and plastering. Homeowners in the town often want more than one of these at once, for example a new drive with brick piers and a matching garden wall, or a back garden levelled and paved with steps down to a lawn.
Gardens and landscaping in the Wyre Forest area
Landscaping is one of the most searched services in Kidderminster. Our landscaping work concentrates on the built structure of a garden: patios, paths, edging, walls and steps. We do not offer planting or ongoing garden maintenance, so if your plans include a planting scheme, that part is best given to a gardener once the hard work is finished.
A garden project usually starts by deciding how you want to use the space. Somewhere to eat outside, a path to a shed, a level lawn on a sloping plot or a tidy, low-upkeep front garden all lead to different layouts. Our landscaping cost guide explains which choices change the price the most, which helps when you are deciding what to include.
Choosing paving is the next step. Porcelain and natural sandstone are both popular for patios, and they behave quite differently in use. Our guide comparing the two covers looks, upkeep, slip resistance and how each is laid.
Driveways and front gardens
If you are thinking about off-road parking, two questions come up straight away. Does the kerb need lowering, and does the new surface need planning permission? Lowering a kerb onto a public road needs approval from Worcestershire County Council as the highway authority, and front surfaces over five square metres generally need permission unless they are permeable or drain onto a lawn or border.
Block paving, tarmac, resin-bound and gravel each have different looks, upkeep and drainage behaviour. Our comparison guide sets them side by side so you can decide what suits your home before we visit.
Building, brickwork and plastering
Not every job is outside. We take on general building work for homeowners, from alterations to exterior improvements, along with bricklaying and plastering. Garden walls in particular are a common request, whether that means a low wall along a front boundary or a retaining wall holding back a raised bed. Our garden wall cost guide explains what affects the price, such as height, foundations and brick choice.
Plastering is often the final stage of indoor work, and it is the part people notice most when a room is decorated. If you are planning work that will disturb walls or ceilings, it makes sense to include the plastering in the same quote.
