Worth knowing
Worth checking before work starts
A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.
Garden buildings
In England, a shed or summer house usually needs no planning permission. Limits include: single storey, not in front of the house, and a maximum height of 2.5 metres if 2 metres or less from a boundary.
Building regulations
In England, building regulations won't normally apply to a garden building under 15 square metres, such as a shed or summer house, if it has no sleeping accommodation.
Decking
In England, decking usually needs no planning permission if it's no more than 30cm above the ground and, with other extensions and buildings, covers no more than half the garden.
Watering systems and ponds
In England and Wales, an automatic garden watering system, or a pond over 10,000 litres filled from the mains and topped up automatically, must be notified to the water supplier before work starts.
Artificial grass and pets
If you have a dog, ask about a grass and base made to drain well, and how the lawn can be cleaned.
Questions
Landscaping questions
My job isn't in the list. What should I choose?
Choose the closest job, then explain what you need in the description step.
What jobs can I request quotes for here?
Garden design, hard and soft landscaping, decking, turfing, artificial grass, garden rooms, sheds and summer houses, greenhouses, ponds and water features, irrigation, play areas and tree planting. The full list is in the form's first step.
Does a garden annexe to live in need planning permission?
Usually, in England: permitted development doesn't cover a garden building used as separate, self-contained living accommodation. Ask your council before planning one.
Which job do I choose for a whole new garden?
Choose Garden Design, and describe the planting, paving and features you'd like in the description.
How much does artificial grass cost to lay?
It depends on the area, the grass you choose, the groundwork, such as digging out, a sub-base and a weed membrane, the edging, and access. Ask each landscaper to quote for the same area and grass, so the quotes compare.
Which is better, composite or timber decking?
Composite decking needs little upkeep and doesn't need staining. Timber looks natural and is easy to cut and repair, but needs treating from time to time. Choose Composite Decking or Decking in the form.
