Is your outdoor space lacking structure, personality, or practicality? Whether your garden is small and shady or a sprawling blank canvas, a well-planned makeover can unlock its full potential. From fresh turf and patio paving to a stunning new deck or driveway, professional landscaping services can take the stress out of redesigning your outdoor space — and ensure it’s built to last.
If you’re in Essex or looking for reliable landscapers in Colchester, the team at LG Landscapes is ready to help with expert garden services, design, and full build execution.
Step 1: Assess How You Use Your Outdoor Space
Before diving into layouts and materials, think about how you want to use your garden. Are you looking for a place to relax with a glass of wine after work? A social space for BBQs? Or a low-maintenance garden that won’t require constant upkeep?
This initial step is key to ensuring your garden redesign suits your lifestyle — not just a Pinterest board.
At LG Landscapes, we begin every project with a consultation to understand your needs and recommend tailored landscape design ideas based on your space, soil, sun exposure, and budget.
Step 2: Focus on Structure — Patio, Decking & Hardscaping
All successful gardens have one thing in common: structure. Elements like patios, decking, paths and edging form the framework of your garden, shaping how it’s used and experienced.
We specialise in patio landscaping and decking installation using high-quality, weather-resistant materials. Whether you’re looking for a sleek composite deck or traditional stone paving, our hard landscaping team creates durable, stylish spaces for dining, lounging or container gardening.
Hardscaping also includes things like raised beds, retaining walls, water features, and built-in seating — all of which can add visual interest and improve the flow of your garden.
Step 3: Think Beyond the Garden – Driveways & Front Spaces
Your garden makeover doesn’t have to stop at the back gate. We also offer driveway installation in Colchester, providing a wide range of finishes from resin-bound surfaces to block paving.
Resin driveways in particular are popular for their low maintenance, anti-slip properties, and clean, modern appearance. They’re also permeable — which means they reduce surface water runoff and comply with current planning regulations.
Front garden landscaping can also include gravel pathways, planters, hedging, and lighting to enhance kerb appeal and make your arrival home more welcoming.
Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches with Garden Maintenance Services
Once your garden is looking its best, regular upkeep is the key to keeping it that way. Our ongoing garden maintenance services are available throughout Colchester and nearby areas, helping homeowners stay on top of seasonal tasks like:
- Lawn care and edging
- Hedge trimming and pruning
- Weed control and mulching
- Seasonal planting and tidy-ups
- General garden health checks
We offer one-off tidy-ups, monthly visits, and annual maintenance packages to suit your schedule and budget — ideal for both busy professionals and elderly homeowners who want to enjoy their garden without the heavy lifting.
