Hard landscaping, is everything except for plants and soil and is a fundamental to the design of your garden. Hard landscape materials give a sense of permanence and structure that hold a garden together.

Your garden should be used and enjoyed and needs to be constructed taking into account your needs and wishes within the constraints of a particular site.

A garden is an ‘outside room’ which should be somewhere to sit, to entertain and to play, somewhere which can also be decorated and furnished, to suit your own tastes and needs.
There are many possibilities for developing outside space such as: outdoor lighting, sound systems and heating, living walls and water features are just some recent ideas. More than any room in your house, your garden will allow you to express yourself and to create something special.

The demand for better gardens has allowed Elstow Landscapes to respond with increasingly inventive and unusual structures, and more imaginative use of materials. All of this means that your garden can be a truly welcoming environment that can be moulded to your individual tastes and needs, whether you prefer a minimalist look, a calming space, a Moroccan courtyard, an Italian haven or a wild garden.

There’s nothing like a lawn to bring the various disparate elements in a project together. It’s easy on the eye and helps highlight other more ornamental features within in the garden. Best of all, it adds much needed space to the garden and provides evergreen continuity too, but a lawn shouldn’t be viewed as a growing carpet that looks after itself. Think of it as thousands of tiny plants crammed together that need to be cared for like other plants, even though they are not quite as demanding. The great thing about a lawn is that anybody can grow one successfully regardless of their experience or love of gardening. A lawn is easy to look after and continues to look good if it’s not abused too much

Do you really want a lawn?
The first thing to consider when covering the floor area of a garden is what finish suits you and your project best. Although a lawn is the traditional ‘material’, it requires looking after and is less suitable in certain circumstances, especially tiny, restricted areas, dense shade, hot dry spots and on steep slopes where it’s difficult to maintain. In these situations, groundcover plants, landscaping materials or even wildflowers might be a better option.

Artificial Grass?
Low maintenance, pet friendly, no weeding, looks natural, no bald spots, long lasting.
Artificial grass has come a long way from its early days of school football fields. We can install a very natural looking lawn for those who want not hassle gardens, areas with high shade and show homes or office spaces.
Lay it in opposing directions and instant stripped lawn.

There are so many plus points to having decking, a great one is that it is installed to the height of your house floors, so not only is there no step down, from the inside it can make your rooms feel more spacious.

Installing decking can make great use of a dull corner of your garden, ideal for eating or entertaining on or just simply soaking up the sun.
