Do I need planning permission for landscaping in Basingstoke?

Most standard landscaping work in Basingstoke does not require planning permission. Patios, turfing, fencing under 2m, and most garden redesigns fall under permitted development rights. However, you may need permission if you are in a conservation area, the property is listed, or works involve hard surfaces over 5m² in the front garden without adequate drainage. Our landscapers will advise you during your free site visit.

How much do landscapers in Basingstoke charge?

Landscaping costs in Basingstoke vary depending on the project. A patio typically starts from £1,500, fencing from £500, and turfing from £400. We offer free, no-obligation quotes so you know exactly what you'll pay before any work begins. Call us on 01256 960457.

What areas do your landscapers cover around Basingstoke?

We cover Basingstoke and the surrounding areas including Hook, Tadley, Overton, Whitchurch, Old Basing, Chineham, Oakley, Bramley and Kingsclere. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, just give us a call on 01256 960457.

Do your landscapers provide free quotes?

Yes - all of our quotes are completely free and come with no obligation. We'll visit your garden, assess the work, and provide a clear, itemised quote. We aim to respond within 24 hours of enquiry.

How accurate is the garden cost calculator?

It gives you a realistic ballpark, not a quote. The ranges are built from what we actually charge on Basingstoke projects, adjusted for the size, access and ground conditions you enter. Most finished jobs land inside the range shown, but a site visit is the only way to get an exact figure - things like drainage, tree roots, old concrete under the surface or a big level change can only be judged in person.

Why do landscapers not just publish fixed prices?

Because two patios of the same size can differ by thousands. One is level ground with driveway access, the other is on a slope with a narrow side gate and 20 tonnes of spoil to barrow out by hand. Fixed prices would mean over-charging the easy jobs to cover the hard ones. That is why we publish honest ranges and then fix your price in writing before we start.

Do I have to give my email to see the price?

No. The figure appears as soon as you enter a size - no email, no phone number, no sign-up. If you like what you see, you can request a free written quote, but there is no obligation to.

How do I measure my garden for an estimate?

Pace it out - a normal adult stride is roughly one metre. For a patio, lawn or driveway, multiply the length by the width to get the area in square metres. For fencing or walls, you only need the run length. A rough figure is enough for a useful estimate.

Does the estimate include waste removal and VAT?

Yes - the ranges assume all waste is removed and disposed of legally under our waste carrier licence (CBDU637378), and reflect the full price you would pay. There is no separate skip or disposal bill at the end.

Can you work to a fixed budget?

Almost always. Tell us your budget and we will be straight with you about what it will and will not stretch to, and where a different material or a phased approach gets the best result for the money.

Is the free quote really free?

Yes. We visit, measure up and give honest advice at no charge, whether or not you go ahead. We do not do pressure-selling or same-day discount tactics.

What That Price Actually Includes

A cheaper quote is usually cheaper for a reason. Here is what is built into every figure this calculator gives you.

Proper preparation

Excavation and a deep, compacted sub-base. This is the part cheap quotes skip, and the reason so much of our work is fixing someone else's.

Drainage and falls

Correct falls away from the house, plus soakaways or drainage where the ground needs it.

Quality materials

Named products at your chosen price point, not whatever is cheapest on the day.

All waste removed

Spoil and green waste taken away and disposed of legally under our waste carrier licence.

A tidy finish

Site swept and left clean every evening, not just at the end of the job.

A fixed written price

Your quote is confirmed in writing before we start, so the final invoice holds no surprises.
