Services
Garden Maintenance
Our garden maintenance service includes weekly grass cutting, hedge trimming, and seasonal tidy-ups using professional-grade equipment. Two dedicated teams cover Ripon and surrounding villages, ensuring lawns receive precise striped finishes. We offer flexible contracts tailored to property size and client preferences, from simple mowing to comprehensive upkeep.
Patios
We design and construct patios using natural stone, block paving, and porcelain materials, creating durable outdoor entertaining spaces. Our team works closely with local suppliers to ensure material quality and offers bespoke layouts. Projects range from small courtyard designs to large-scale installations, all completed to exacting standards.
Driveways
Specialising in permeable block paving, resin-bound, and natural stone driveways, we create durable, visually appealing access solutions. Our installations comply with current regulations and incorporate drainage considerations. We work with Marshalls products and reclaimed materials to suit both modern and traditional properties.
Fencing
We supply and install timber and metal fencing systems, including security options and decorative features. As an approved Knox Sawmills agent, we offer premium timber products. Our fencing solutions cater to domestic and commercial needs, with options for gates and integrated trelliswork.
Decking
Our decking installations use treated softwood and composite materials to create all-weather outdoor living spaces. We design both simple platforms and complex multi-level systems with integrated seating and planters. Projects include pergola integration and access ramps for commercial clients.
