Area is only part of the picture. Excavation, ground conditions, access, disposal, drainage, the paving system, borders, steps and brickwork all influence the scope. A site-specific written quotation is more meaningful than a generic price per square metre.

Yes—the most coherent schemes consider them together. Pillar positions, wall heights, coping, paving patterns, gate provisions and lighting routes should be resolved before individual elements are built.

Start with the look you want, how the space is used, ground conditions, drainage and the care you are comfortable with. The material explorer above outlines the character of each option. Compare real product samples before agreeing a finish.

Sometimes, but suitability depends on the existing construction, condition, levels and drainage as well as the proposed system. An assessment is needed before assuming the current base can stay.

The programme depends on the scope, preparation, materials, access and weather. Ask for an estimated programme after the site survey, including how vehicle and pedestrian access will be handled during the work.

Requirements depend on the site and scope. Confirm relevant permissions and drainage requirements with the local authority before work begins. Retaining walls and structural features may require specialist design. See Planning Portal’s front garden guidance as a starting point.

Look for a clear description of preparation, materials, drainage, boundaries, disposal, access arrangements, exclusions, payment stages and any applicable guarantees. Product and workmanship terms should be stated separately and confirmed in writing.
