Landscape Gardener Sandwich

Start with the garden you want to use

A garden brief works best when it describes daily life: somewhere to eat outside, space for children, easier access to storage or a boundary that gives privacy. Identify the parts worth keeping before deciding what should change. A new layout can connect these uses without filling every corner with construction.

Sketch doors, gates, trees and existing surfaces. Include furniture and walking space, not just the dimensions of a patio. If you want a full renovation, agree the relationships between hard surfaces, planted areas and the lawn before choosing individual finishes.

Describe your Sandwich property and access

Tell us whether the address is in Sandwich itself, Sandwich Bay, Ash, Eastry, Worth, Woodnesborough or Richborough. Include the actual postcode and approach so an enquiry refers to the right property. Show narrow passages, side gates, steps and any restrictions on deliveries.

Ground, shade and exposure need assessment at the individual site. Photographs after rain can help explain pooling, while views from the house show how the garden connects with doors and thresholds. Access affects removal and construction as well as the final design.

Coordinate work beneath and above the surface

Paving, new turf, fencing and masonry meet at shared edges. Agree levels, water routes and the installation sequence together. Post foundations, buried services and retaining work should be considered before vulnerable finishes are laid.

For a phased project, explain the eventual layout. One stage should allow later work without unnecessary removal of a completed terrace or lawn. Ask which assessment, material decisions and access arrangements must be resolved before the programme is agreed.

Compare a construction quote with a clear scope

Regular gardening and landscape construction cover different tasks. The hourly rate for maintenance does not price a patio, deck or driveway. Compare proposals that describe clearance, groundwork, named materials, installation, finishing and disposal for the same brief.

Choose priorities if the whole plan exceeds your budget. Clarify optional work, exclusions and VAT rather than relying on an online average. Our portfolio shows genuine Kent projects with their original locations, helping you explain a preferred style without implying the photographs were taken in Sandwich.
