Frequently Asked Questions

Landscaping FAQs

A full back-garden design and build typically costs £3,000–£12,000 in 2026 for a standard-sized UK garden (80–150m²). Simpler projects (new patio and fencing only) start around £2,500, while bespoke designs with outdoor kitchens, water features, lighting and mature planting can reach £25,000+. London and the South East add 20-35% to national averages.
A professionally-laid patio costs £80–£180 per m² in 2026, including proper sub-base, mortar bed, cutting, pointing and drainage. Material choice drives most of the variation: Indian sandstone £80-£100/m², porcelain £140-£180/m², natural limestone £150-£200/m². A standard 25m² patio typically costs £2,000–£4,500 all-in, rising to £6,500 for porcelain with complex edge detailing.
For UK weather, concrete post with closeboard timber panels (feather-edge) lasts 15-25 years and is the best price-to-durability balance. Composite fencing (recycled plastic/wood mix) costs 2-3× more but lasts 25-30 years. Treated softwood overlap panels are cheapest but need replacing every 8-12 years. Avoid untreated panels in south-west or exposed north-facing locations.
Yes. BestBuilders verifies BALI (British Association of Landscape Industries) or APL (Association of Professional Landscapers) accreditation before a landscaper receives leads. These bodies require proof of design competence, insurance and client references — the hallmarks of a professional landscaper versus a general builder offering garden work.
Structural work (patios, fencing, levelling, drainage) is best in late autumn through early spring when the garden isn't in active use. Planting is best in October-November (dormant bare-root planting) and March-May. Avoid turf-laying in mid-summer or during ground frost. Book landscapers 2-4 months ahead — good ones fill their spring-summer schedule early.
Usually no — most garden landscaping falls under Permitted Development. However, you may need permission for: fences over 2m (1m if fronting a highway), decking raised more than 300mm, garden buildings over 30m² or with sleeping accommodation, and any works in a conservation area or listed property. Your landscaper should flag anything that needs planning before starting.
