Page purpose

For family briefs where modern porcelain patios on new-build estate gardens is the priority, a generic regional specification would miss the local plot conditions.

Stripping a tired lawn-and-shrubs garden and starting with a clean blank canvas, relevant landscaping detail for RG21-RG24 properties near Sherborne St John

Read the plot before choosing the finish

  • Basingstoke is inside our 30-mile core area, so site visits are arranged within a week and project supervision is daily, not weekly.
  • We've spent enough time on RG21-RG24 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a landscaping project - the tight rear access where everything has to be barrowed through the side return that gets missed when a national firm quotes from a desk.
  • Quotes are written, fixed and broken down by stage, with the same crew on site from day one through to clean-down.

A closer proof match

Last year alone we worked across Basingstoke and the neighbouring Chineham / Old Basing side most weeks, with the same two-crew rotation supervising every job.

Steve from Knightscapes was very prompt at getting in touch and popping round to quote. After discussion I added a new raised bed along with completely replacing my back fence. Steve and Callum were friendly and professional, working quickly and efficiently and tidied up after themselves. I definitely will have them back to do more work and have recommended them to a friend.
