Garden Landscaping for homes in Lincoln
Landscaping is the job where all the individual trades meet: the levels, the retaining, the paved areas, the lawn or artificial grass, the borders and the routes between them. We take a garden as a whole rather than as a list of separate jobs, working out how the space should flow from the back door to the far end, where the levels need holding with walls or steps, where the seating and planting areas want to sit, and how the surfaces should change between them. Then we build it in the right order, so the heavy work and the muck away happen before the finished surfaces go down instead of over the top of them.
Working in Lincoln
Lincoln is a city of two very distinct halves for anyone doing outdoor work. Uphill, around the Bailgate, Minster Yard and the steep streets running off them, you are dealing with historic stone properties, conservation area constraints, restricted access and gardens on a genuine gradient — jobs where retaining walls, steps and terracing do most of the work and material choice needs to sit sympathetically against local limestone. Downhill and out through the newer suburbs, the picture changes completely to inter-war and modern housing on flatter ground with conventional drives and rear gardens. The city's limestone escarpment means level changes are a recurring feature rather than an occasional complication, so we plan the retaining and the drainage first on Lincoln jobs and let the finished surfaces follow from that.
