Frequently Asked Questions
-
-
Many gardens in Falmouth feature steep slopes or coastal gradients. We specialize in structural hard landscaping solutions such as retaining walls, terraced sleeper beds, and multi-level patios to maximize your usable outdoor space and manage drainage safely.
-
Because Falmouth experiences high salt spray and strong coastal winds, we recommend durable, low-maintenance materials. This includes hard-wearing natural stone (like granite or treated sandstone), marine-grade fixings, and robust composite or treated timber fencing that withstands harsh weather conditions.
-
Most standard residential landscaping tasks such as laying patios, building standard fences under 2 meters, or installing raised planting beds do not require planning permission. However, if your property is a listed building, falls within a conservation area, or involves high retaining structures, local regulations apply. We help advise on these requirements during our initial consultation.
-
Heavy Cornish clay and high rainfall can cause waterlogging. We resolve this by installing custom French drains, land drains, sub-base gravel layers, and soakaways tailored to your garden's specific topography to ensure water flows safely away from your property foundations.
