Overview

Landscaping & external works

External works decide how a housing scheme feels on the day people move in. We deliver hard and soft landscaping, paving, boundaries and communal areas as an integrated part of residential delivery — not as an afterthought.

Scope

Footpaths, level access routes and shared surfaces built for long-term use.

Typical programme

How a project runs

Every scheme, whatever its size, moves through the same four stages.

  1. 01

    Brief & survey

    We visit the site, review drawings and confirm constraints, access and existing conditions before anything is priced.

  2. 02

    Scope & pricing

    A written scope and quotation setting out inclusions, exclusions and any items that can only be confirmed once work opens up.

  3. 03

    Pre-construction

    Programme, procurement, trade sequencing, site set-up and the notifications and approvals the works require.

  4. 04

    Delivery & handover

    Directly managed site, progress reporting at agreed intervals, snagging, sign-off and handover documentation.

Our approach

How the work is run

Part of the build

External works programmed with the construction sequence so plots complete cleanly.

Durability

Materials and detailing chosen for maintenance over years, not for the handover photograph.

Levels & drainage

Falls, drainage and level access resolved on site rather than left to snagging.

Finish

Clean edges, consistent joints and tidy boundaries — the detail residents notice first.

Questions

Before you appoint us

The things clients most often want to establish first.

It can be priced as its own package or programmed as part of the main build. Doing it as part of the build usually avoids a second mobilisation.

Yes. Paving, boundaries and communal areas are regularly delivered as standalone packages for housing providers and developers.

Yes. We handle the groundworks, drainage, levels and sub-base before laying the final surface, so the finished external works last.

They can, and often should be. Combining the build and external works under one programme gives better control over levels, access and handover.
