Landscaping in Romsey
Romsey plots tend to be generous, and the work changes with the scale. Long lawns, longer paths and gardens that run away from the house need setting out with a level rather than by eye.
Romsey
Space to plan properly
Around Cupernham, North Baddesley and the villages towards Awbridge we are usually dealing with gardens over 200 square metres. That is enough space to zone: a terrace close to the house, a lawn in the middle and a working area with a shed base and a path to reach it in wet weather.
Rural ground and machine work
Access is normally good enough for a digger and a tipper, so clearance and levelling move quickly. The catch on larger gardens is drainage: a long, gentle fall towards the house is easy to miss and expensive to ignore, so we take levels across the whole plot.

What shapes a garden project here
Zoning a big garden
Splitting a large plot into terrace, lawn and working area gives every part a purpose instead of one huge stretch of grass.
Turf by the roll
Large lawns are laid in full rolls off a set line, which gives tighter joints and much less visible seaming.
Paths that earn their keep
A firm route to the shed, greenhouse or gate is what makes a big garden usable in January.
On site
Typical Romsey work
A large sloping rear garden had its fall taken out across the top third to create a level lawn, with the cut material reused to build up the lower end and a gravel path run down to a new shed base.
On bigger plots we like to do the machine work over winter, so the ground has settled before turf goes down in spring.

Landscaping in Romsey: common questions
How much does it cost to turf a large garden?
At scale the rate improves. Over 200 square metres, turf supplied and laid on prepared ground typically works out towards the lower end of £14 to £22 per square metre.
Can you get machinery to a rural plot?
Usually yes, and where a tipper cannot reach the garden we run a dumper from the nearest hard standing instead.
Why does my large lawn hold water at one end?
Almost always a gentle fall nobody noticed, collecting at the low point. Taking proper levels across the plot shows exactly where the water ends up.
Do you build shed and greenhouse bases?
Yes, squared, levelled and sized slightly larger than the building so rainwater drips clear of the timber.
