Surrey · GU1-GU5
Planning exterior work in Guildford and Onslow Village
From Onslow Village into GU1-GU5, the plot changes faster than a regional brochure suggests. Guildford is hilly with chalk and clay pockets, which matters when we plan retaining walls and patio falls - water rarely behaves the way the existing surface suggests. The town has a strong conservation overlay in the centre and a tree preservation culture across Onslow Village and Merrow that influences garden room placement.
