Service

Carpentry Landscaping & Building Maintenance

Structural landscape carpentry: retaining, steps, boardwalks, planters, gates and screening on difficult ground.

How we approach it

Build to the contour

Steep, wet, root-bound ground needs sequencing and drainage thinking before any timber is cut.

Structure that lasts

Correct sizing, treatment and fixings for in-ground and splash-zone conditions.

Garden-aware

We work around established plantings and tree roots and coordinate with your landscaper or gardener.

What a scope typically covers

  • Timber retaining and edging

Questions

Good to know

Do you do soft landscaping too?
No - we build the structure and work alongside your landscaper for planting.
How high can timber retaining go?
Beyond a modest height, engineering and permits are involved. We flag this early.
Which timber holds up in ground?
Appropriately treated hardwood or H-rated product, always paired with drainage.
Can you handle access-limited blocks?
Yes. Barrow access and hand-carrying material is normal work up here.
