What does landscaping include?

When you book a landscaper in your area, it’s important to let them know in your task exactly what work you need to be done. That way, they’ll be able to make you a fair offer and bring along the right tools for the job. 

Not sure where to start with your landscape gardening? If you need a range of general landscaping services, grab a notepad and pen, then go for a wander outside. Make a note of anything that needs tidying up, trimming, or removing. Then make sure you include these tasks in your listing. 

Another way to think about your landscaping is to break it down by the type of specialised skill or service you need, such as laying artificial grass, doing garden work, or planning hard landscaping projects. Here are some of the jobs you might give to your landscaper and what you can expect to happen during the process.

Planning

When you’re undertaking a BIG change, it’s important to lay the groundwork with some planning, first. A garden designer will help come up with ideas and map everything out on paper before you get started on your garden makeover. Or you might hire a landscape architect to plan a larger commercial landscaping project in your local community or public space.

Earth and rocks

Don’t break your back over your backyard landscaping - no matter how little or how much you need to do. You can hire earthmoving contractors to do your trench digging, levelling, and even your pool excavation or boring excavation. They’ll bring the all tools and equipment needed to dig and move the earth so you (literally) don’t have to get your hands dirty when doing hard landscaping.

Gardens

Planning a nice new garden bed to grow your own veggies, flowers, shady trees, or just want to reduce the amount of ground you have to mow? Get some help with your garden landscaping and garden edging to get the project off your to-do list and done sooner. That way, you can get on with the fun bit of landscaping projects - planting!

Water

Where there are plants, there’s water. Make sure your plants get water when they need it (without having to remember to hose) with a drip irrigation system or a sprinkler system installation. Or make your garden more beautiful with a garden pond or water features. Either way, getting your water systems sorted is so much quicker and easier with an extra pair of hands or a landscaper near you who knows what they’re doing when it comes to garden maintenance.

Trees

Trees are wonderful things, but sometimes, a tree’s gotta go. If you’re not experienced, you should never do chainsawing, stump grinding, wood chipping and mulching, or land clearing yourself. That’s something you should leave up to an experienced landscaper with the right equipment and background to get the job done properly and safely. 

Building and installations

A big component of landscaping is installing things to make your space more functional and beautiful. Things like retaining walls, artificial grass installation, landscape lighting, or even garden benches to sit on can be part of your landscape garden design. It’s always best to get a landscaper to help when it involves heavy lifting or specialist equipment. They’ll help you get your installations done safely and help you start enjoying your space much sooner.

Move topsoil from pavement to garden

£200

Peckham, Greater London, SE15

24th Apr 2026

I have had 850kg of top soil delivered and it needs to be taken in a wheelbarrow from the pavement to the garden. My wheelbarrow has a flat tyre so I need someone with their own wheelbarrow. We have side access so it is just a short back and forth from the pavement to the garden - maybe 20m.

Came round at short notice and cracked on with the job, brought the tools needed with him as I didn't have a wheelbarrow!

Kensal Green, Greater London, NW10

16th Apr 2024

I have a lovely south facing patio garden (although pouring with rain today as per photos!) - and want to do some landscaping to make it more child friendly! 1. I'd like the back seating removed - and the white concrete borders clad in wood - with wooden seating created in and around the planting to create seating. 2. I'd like artificial grass laid (it will need sand/underlay to make it level)on the patio - size is just under 3 x 5m. 3.Also, I'd like the homemade swing set that is currently attached to the back of the flat/wall - moving and attaching to the back of the garden. 4.There is also a bit of fencing (far right) that needs fixing. 5. And finally, the deck needs a sand/reseal aprox 350cm x 500cm. Look at the images and let me know if you'd like to quote and discuss further. I can also send aprox drawings of what I'm after. Many thanks
