Looking for reliable landscapers in Guildford? Evergreen Gardeners design and build outdoor spaces that look good, drain properly and last for years. From a new patio and lawn to a complete garden transformation, we handle the hard landscaping and the planting, so you deal with one team from start to finish.
Gardens around Guildford vary a lot. Chalk on the North Downs side of town, sandy greensand towards Shalford and Godalming and heavy clay in other pockets all behave differently. We plan levels, sub-bases and drainage around your soil, so patios stay flat and lawns don't turn to mud every winter.

- Fencing, trellis and gates

Hard and soft landscaping, done properly
Most landscaping problems start below ground. Patios sink when the base is too thin, and lawns waterlog when nobody checks the drainage. We dig out to the right depth, lay and compact MOT Type 1 sub-base, and set falls so rainwater runs away from your house. Where water needs somewhere to go, we can add drainage or a soakaway as part of the job.
If you'd like help with the layout first, our garden design service turns your ideas into a plan before any work begins.

Frequently asked questions
How much does landscaping cost in Guildford?
Every garden is different. Price depends mainly on the size of the area, the materials you choose (for example porcelain or sandstone), access for machinery and how much ground preparation is needed. We give a fixed written quote after a free site visit, so you know the cost before work starts.
How long does a landscaping project take?
A new patio or lawn usually takes a few days to a week. A full garden transformation with paving, walls and planting can take two to four weeks. We will give you a realistic timescale with your quote.
Do you remove the waste?
Yes. Soil, rubble and green waste from the job are cleared away and disposed of responsibly, and the garden is left clean and tidy.
What is the best time of year for landscaping?
Hard landscaping such as patios, paths and walls can be done most of the year. Planting and turfing are best in spring and autumn, when the ground is moist and not frozen.
