  • After being let down by several landscaping companies, we were absolutely delighted to find DSM. Scott and Garry came out to quote one afternoon, and by 6pm that same day we had a confirmed price and start date. The quality of their work is exceptional and we couldn’t be happier with how our garden has turned out. The extra touches they added, including power washing our driveway once everything was finished, really show how much pride…

  • DSM landscaped the area around our hot tub to a very good standard. They did what they said they would, when they said the would, for a reasonable cost. Absolutely no problems and would absolutely recommend them.

Landscaping FAQs

Your Landscaping Questions, Answered

Straight answers on pricing, timings, and what to expect on the day.

Small projects (patios, borders) run 1 to 2 weeks. Larger garden redesigns can take several weeks depending on scope and weather.

Most garden landscaping doesn’t need planning permission, but boundary walls over a certain height, decking near boundaries, and work on listed properties can. Worth checking before large projects.

Hard landscaping (paving, walling, drainage) can be done year-round. Planting is best in autumn or spring.

Yes, drainage is assessed and addressed as part of any groundwork, since poor drainage undermines paving, planting, and lawns alike.

Landscaping is one-off design and construction work (paving, planting schemes, walls, structural changes). Maintenance is the ongoing upkeep after that work is done.
