Define hard and soft landscaping as separate packages

A landscaping brief should separate hard surfaces, levels, drainage, planting and any retained trees. Design-only, phased build and full design-and-build routes are different written packages. Site photographs of the whole plot and access routes matter more than a postcode package rate. Tree surgery and ecology sit on specialist routes when required and should not be assumed into a general garden build. Outdoor design and build packages for landscaping should name hard surfaces, planting, drainage and access as separate lines so a garden vision is not mistaken for a priced construction programme. Tree work, ecology and highway licences remain separate when engaged. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Read levels, drainage and boundaries on the plot

Garden levels, retaining edges, thresholds and surface-water routes decide whether a simple refresh or a rebuild is realistic. Boundary ownership and neighbour interfaces are property-specific. The written scope should identify what is known from photographs and what still needs a site measure before irreversible excavation or paving. Outdoor design and build packages for landscaping should name hard surfaces, planting, drainage and access as separate lines so a garden vision is not mistaken for a priced construction programme. Tree work, ecology and highway licences remain separate when engaged. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Plan plant, spoil and material access early

Plant access, spoil removal, skips and material delivery through the house, side passage or rear often control the programme. A smaller timed delivery can be more dependable than allowing materials to accumulate on unlicensed highway space. Confirm the loading point and any freeholder rules before dates are treated as firm. Outdoor design and build packages for landscaping should name hard surfaces, planting, drainage and access as separate lines so a garden vision is not mistaken for a priced construction programme. Tree work, ecology and highway licences remain separate when engaged. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Keep design decisions visible before build pricing

Concept layout, materials and drainage assumptions should be stated before a construction price is treated as firm. Provisional items and exclusions must be listed. Formal planning outcomes remain with the responsible authority where consent is required; this hub does not invent a permission. Outdoor design and build packages for landscaping should name hard surfaces, planting, drainage and access as separate lines so a garden vision is not mistaken for a priced construction programme. Tree work, ecology and highway licences remain separate when engaged. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Coordinate planting with maintenance reality

Planting choices should reflect light, soil, irrigation and who will maintain the garden. Soft landscaping that needs specialist aftercare should be identified in the written package rather than left as an informal verbal list. Outdoor design and build packages for landscaping should name hard surfaces, planting, drainage and access as separate lines so a garden vision is not mistaken for a priced construction programme. Tree work, ecology and highway licences remain separate when engaged. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Separate landscaping from routine garden maintenance

Recurring lawn and hedge visits are a different product from design-and-build landscaping. Mixing them into one open day rate creates scope drift. The brief should choose design, build, maintenance or a sequenced combination with clear boundaries. Outdoor design and build packages for landscaping should name hard surfaces, planting, drainage and access as separate lines so a garden vision is not mistaken for a priced construction programme. Tree work, ecology and highway licences remain separate when engaged. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Record tenure and outdoor designation questions

Leasehold gardens, shared amenity spaces and conservation settings can change what outdoor works are allowed. Attach freeholder notes and any known designation when held. An area name does not confirm consent. Outdoor design and build packages for landscaping should name hard surfaces, planting, drainage and access as separate lines so a garden vision is not mistaken for a priced construction programme. Tree work, ecology and highway licences remain separate when engaged. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start a landscaping brief?
Use the online form or call 020 7101 3168. Include the postcode, a clear description of the issue or project, photographs where helpful, and access notes. Submission starts a review — it is not a confirmed booking.
Where do you accept landscaping briefs?
You may submit for Hampstead, North West London and wider premium London postcodes. Dedicated pages currently focus on neighbourhoods such as Hampstead, Hampstead Village, Belsize Park, St John's Wood and West Hampstead, with other postcodes reviewed case by case. Coverage and timing are confirmed after the location and scope have been reviewed — not solely because an area page exists.
Is Landscaping delivered by third-party traders?
No. Accepted work is routed to Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance. We confirm the competence and any job-specific registration or insurance for the accepted scope before work starts.
How is landscaping pricing confirmed?
Pricing depends on access, fabric condition, materials, programme and any approvals needed. Where we can quote, the written document states inclusions, assumptions, exclusions and payment terms. Smaller completed jobs are paid by bank transfer after completion; larger works use the deposit and final terms in the accepted quote.
Do I always need a site visit for landscaping?
Not always. Clear photographs and a written description can be enough for straightforward scopes. Complex fabric, structural openings, concealed services or unclear access usually need a visit before a safe price basis can be written.
What landscaping themes do people commonly brief?
Common themes include Garden Design, Soft Landscaping, Hard Landscaping, Planting, Outdoor Works. Suitability still depends on the individual property, access and the written scope we can accept after review. These tags are a guide, not a fixed menu or price list.
What freeholder or building access notes help for a landscaping brief?
For flats and mansion blocks, attach any licence-to-alter, working-hours note, riser plan or managing-agent rules you already hold. Lift size, porter rules and communal corridor protection often affect how landscaping attendance is programmed. Freeholder approval is never invented from a neighbourhood page alone — those facts come from the property documents and the accepted written scope.
Does a landscaping brief always need Building Control?
Not always. Whether approval or a competent-person route is needed depends on the defined work and property. Openings, structural alterations, drainage changes and certain electrical or heating works are more likely to need one of those routes. We flag known compliance questions in triage. A service hub does not predict a notification outcome from a neighbourhood page. Attach any existing notice or completion certificate you hold.
Can I submit a landscaping brief in London?
Yes. Send the postcode and job details for review. Submission is not a booking; we confirm whether the brief fits, current availability and the next step.
How is landscaping work priced?
The price depends on the accepted scope, access, timing, materials and any assessment required. We confirm a written quote or other agreed price basis before planned work starts.
