How it works
Three stages. One team. No surprises.
Design, build and maintenance work closely together — but you can enter at whichever stage you need. Here is how a Hammond Landscapes project actually runs, and roughly how long each part takes.
01
Typically 1–4 weeks
Design & consultation
Sam comes out, walks the plot with you and listens to how you actually use the garden — the sun, the slope, the drainage, the access, the views you want to keep or lose. Then we put a clear design and an itemised, no-obligation quote to it, with the build-up under the paving spelled out. You get real options to decide between, rather than a single take-it-or-leave-it plan — and on larger schemes we handle the project management and any planning questions too.
- Free site visit & survey
- Design options, not one fixed plan
- Clear, itemised, no-obligation quote
02
A day or two to several weeks
Build & planting
One team carries the build from groundwork and levels through paving and walling, garden structures and lighting, then turf and planting — so nothing is lost between trades. We work tidy and explain each step in advance. Where a job needs a certified trade — tree surgery or an electrical connection — we bring in accredited subcontractors and coordinate them. Simple jobs are done in a day or two; a full transformation runs over several weeks, and the site stays orderly the whole way through.
- One team, start to finish
- Certified trades coordinated
- Site kept tidy throughout
03
Seasonal, ongoing — your choice
Maintenance & aftercare
A new garden is an investment, and it reaches its best with care. Once the build is done we can keep it right — grass cutting and weeding, hedge and shrub pruning, and attention to the planting as it establishes — so the garden goes on developing and maturing through the seasons rather than drifting back to where it started. Take it as a one-off seasonal tidy, or as regular year-round care.

Protecting your investment
A garden is built once and lives for decades. Aftercare is simply how it goes on developing, flourishing and maturing through the seasons — rather than slowly drifting back.
