Pinewood Landscapes

Every project is different, so there’s no single answer. It depends on the size of the space, the materials you choose, and how much groundwork is involved. As a rough guide, a new patio might start from around £1,500 for a smaller area, while a full garden renovation could be anywhere from £5,000 to £20,000+. We’ll always give you a clear estimate upfront so you know where you stand before any work begins.

It depends on the scale. A straightforward fencing job might take a couple of days. A new patio typically takes around a week. A full garden renovation with multiple elements could be two to three weeks or more. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe before we start and keep you updated if anything changes. Weather can push things back, especially in the wetter months, but we’d rather wait for the right conditions than rush and compromise the finish.

Most garden landscaping doesn’t need planning permission. Standard fencing up to 2 metres, patios, turfing, and general garden work are usually fine. The main exceptions are front garden paving over 5 square metres with non-permeable materials, fences over 2 metres (or over 1 metre next to a road), and anything in a conservation area or on a listed property. If you’re not sure, we can advise when we come and look at the space.

We’re based in Woodley, Reading, and work across the surrounding areas including Earley, Wokingham, Twyford, Caversham, Henley, and further afield when the project’s right. We prefer to keep things local so we can stay hands-on from start to finish.

You’ll deal with Mark from start to finish. He’s the one who comes to look at the job, gives you the estimate, and is on site throughout the project. Claire handles the planning and organisation behind the scenes. You’re not going to be passed around between sales people and project managers.
