Full Garden Landscaping
If you are looking to completely transform your garden, Life in the Garden can manage the landscaping process from the initial ideas through to the finished space.
We undertake full garden landscaping projects across Epping, North Weald, Thornwood, Ongar, Harlow and the surrounding areas, combining practical construction with thoughtful garden design and horticultural knowledge.
A complete landscaping project can include ground preparation, drainage, patios and paving, retaining walls, brickwork, fencing, decking and timber structures, lawns, planting, raised beds and other garden features. By coordinating the different stages of the project, we can create a garden where the hard landscaping, planting and practical requirements work together as one coherent design.
Garden Design and Planning
For projects that require a complete garden design, we can work alongside our trusted garden design partners, including Alexa Ryan-Mills and Dan Hartley.
Whether you are looking for a contemporary family garden, an informal country-style garden, a wildlife-friendly space or a garden designed around planting and seasonal interest, the design process helps establish the layout, materials, planting and character of the garden before construction begins.
We also consider the practical conditions of the site, including levels, drainage, soil, aspect, access and future maintenance requirements.
From Construction to Planting
Once the design and specification are agreed, our landscaping team can carry out the construction and preparation work required to bring the garden together.
Because we provide both hard and soft landscaping, we can take a project from excavation and groundwork through to the final planting and finishing details. This creates continuity throughout the project and ensures that features such as paving, walls, lawns, beds and planting areas are prepared correctly for their intended purpose.
Where appropriate, we also incorporate wildlife-friendly and sustainable landscaping principles, including habitat planting, permeable surfaces, wildlife ponds, native plants and planting schemes designed to provide year-round interest.
Creating Gardens for the Way You Live
Every garden has different requirements. Some clients want a low-maintenance outdoor space, while others want productive planting, wildlife habitat, entertaining areas or somewhere for children and family life.
Our aim is to understand how you want to use the garden and then create a practical, attractive and sustainable landscape that suits both the property and its surroundings.
