Hard Landscaping in Tonbridge, East Sussex and Kent | Located in the Tunbridge Wells Area
If you believe that LL Brickwork Ltd only offers the services of its time-served bricklayers, you may feel inclined to think again when we tell you that our expertise also extends into the field of hard landscaping. The hardscape of a property focuses on permanent features made from hard materials. Consider driveways, patios, garden paving, ornamental walls and retaining walls, and you should get a clearer idea of what hard landscaping usually involves.
The softscape of a garden concentrates on the live elements that continually change across the seasons, such as lawns, flower beds, shrubs, trees and hedges. A hard landscaper will take care of the hardscape, while a soft landscaper will tend to the softscape. Each field is easy to differentiate.
LL Brickwork Ltd can offer hard landscaping services in the following areas:
Crowborough | Paddock Wood | Sevenoaks | Tonbridge | Tunbridge Wells | East Sussex | Kent
We can offer a start-to-finish service from the groundworks phase through to the final handover, using the talents of our bricklayers and tradespeople to produce attractive features that not only make a garden look great, but which also add to its overall functionality so that you can enjoy it more.
Our hard landscaping services include:
Groundworks
If you are planning to have a landscaping feature constructed or would like to have a hard surface laid, we clear the workspace of scrub, brush and vegetation, and any other debris, prior to excavating the land in bulk. Next, we prepare the ground to facilitate the type of installation you have in mind,
LL Brickwork Ltd brings plant and machinery to site to accelerate the process and we also arrange for the removal and recycling of uplifted spoil.
Slabs and Sub-Bases
If you are having a solid surface laid, we excavate to specific depths based on your choice of material then add a membrane, aggregates and sands to produce a sub-base. This acts as a foundation for a new driveway or patio. We make provisions for drainage and soakaways during bulk excavation.
If you need a slab laying in brick or concrete to act as a base for a shed or a garden building, this is another hard landscaping service we can offer you.
Surfacing Installations
Surfacing is an important hard landscaping service because installations such as driveways give your property a dedicated parking space while a patio is a perfect choice for having your own outdoor relaxation area. We lay both, and LL Brickwork Ltd also specialises in the installation of garden paving.
Through our bricklaying skills, we can lay a wide range of material types to include block paving, concrete flagstones, natural stone pavers and more.
Ornamental Walls
Choose LL Brickwork Ltd for the construction of ornamental garden walls and develop your hard landscaping theme vertically. We can build decorative walls that act as a feature, and our team also has experience in boundary walls, seating walls, planting walls and lighted walls for outdoor kitchens.
We assist clients in Crowborough, Paddock Wood, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, and in all locations across the East Sussex and Kent areas.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls are critical to the development of hard landscaping themes if ground has a slope or is uneven, or if soil conditions are unstable. Using the geotechnical calculations of an engineer, we build retaining walls to absorb the weight load and pressure from restrained soil to help prevent subsidence.
Note that retaining walls over 1m in height require local authority approval if located close to the road or a pathway, or if over 2m in height elsewhere.
Brickwork and Steps
Retaining walls create tiers in a garden. To enable access to upper levels, the simple solution is a combination of steps and surrounding walls made in brick or stone. LL Brickwork Ltd can help you to develop a hard landscaping theme by offering materials in an attractive choice of colours, styles and finishes.
You can use steps as a gateway to a raised garden patio area, to the upper part of a lawn, or as a decorative feature to complement your hardscape.
