Landscaping in Gosport
Most Gosport enquiries come down to one sentence: make it usable and stop it being a chore. Gravel, paving and a defined route through do far more for a small plot than a lawn that needs weekly attention.
Gosport
Low maintenance done properly
In Alverstoke, Lee-on-the-Solent and Bridgemary we build a lot of gravel gardens with planted pockets and a slabbed sitting area. Done properly that means a membrane, real edging and the right gravel depth, not a bag of stone tipped over old turf.
Compact plots and shallow ground
Gardens are often short and reached down a narrow side alley, so the whole job is hand worked and barrowed. Sandy ground here drains freely, which helps with gravel and paths but means we firm the base carefully so nothing settles later.

What shapes a garden project here
Every metre counted
In a short garden we set out the seating area first and let the path and planting fit around it, rather than the other way round.
Security and privacy
Rear boundaries onto lanes and alleys get taller close board and a properly hung, lockable gate.
No mowing needed
For holiday homes and rentals we build gardens with nothing that needs cutting, only an occasional tidy.
On site
Typical Gosport work
A tired short garden was cleared to bare ground, a slabbed sitting area laid against the house and the rest finished in gravel with a membrane, steel edging and a stone feature inlay to break up the surface.
Clearance and gravel work go ahead happily in cold weather, so a low upkeep garden can be finished and waiting by spring.

Landscaping in Gosport: common questions
What is the lowest maintenance garden surface?
Gravel over a membrane with solid edging, broken up by a slabbed seating area. It needs a tidy a couple of times a year and nothing more.
Can gravel be laid straight onto old grass?
No. Without stripping the turf and laying a membrane the grass pushes back through and the gravel sinks into the soil within a season.
Do you fit lockable rear gates?
Yes. Where a garden backs onto an alley we fit a taller close board gate with a proper frame and a lock rather than a light garden gate.
My garden is tiny. Is it worth getting someone in?
Small gardens are often the best value work we do, because a day or two of proper groundwork changes how the whole space is used.
