Paving, Fencing, Landscaping & Groundworks
From new patios and driveways to fencing, groundwork and full garden transformations, Nicky Gardner provides reliable outdoor improvement services built around your home.
Driveway Paving
A well-laid driveway does two things: it makes your home look smart and it lasts. Nicky has been laying driveways for nearly three decades, and the approach hasn't changed — prepare the ground properly, use quality materials, and finish it neatly.
Whether you're replacing a crumbling old surface or starting from scratch, Nicky can advise on the right material and style for your property.
- Block paving driveways in a range of colours and patterns
- Resin-bound driveways for a clean, low-maintenance finish
- Hard-wearing surfaces built to handle daily vehicle use
- Neat edging and kerbing for a professional finish
- Improved kerb appeal and practical access to your home
- Full groundwork and sub-base preparation included
Patio Paving
A good patio changes how you use your garden. Whether it's an area for the family to sit out in summer, a space for the barbecue, or simply a smart outdoor room that extends the feel of your home — getting it right matters.
Nicky works with you to choose the right surface, size and layout for your garden, then lays it properly so it looks great and stays solid for years.
- Natural stone patios — sandstone, slate, Indian stone
- Porcelain paving for a modern, low-maintenance finish
- Block paving patios to match driveway or garden design
- Outdoor seating areas and family spaces created from scratch
- Steps, edging and drainage all considered as part of the design
- Long-lasting results built on a proper, prepared base
Garden Fencing
New fencing can make a real difference to how your garden looks and feels. It defines the space, adds privacy, keeps it secure, and — when it's done properly — lasts for years without becoming an eyesore.
Nicky installs new fencing and replaces old, damaged or tired panels. He'll advise on the right type of fencing for your garden and budget.
- New fencing installed to match your garden's layout and boundary
- Replacement of old, damaged or leaning panels and posts
- Closeboard and featherboard fencing for a solid, private boundary
- Arched and panel fencing options in a range of heights and styles
- Improved garden appearance, privacy and security
- Posts set properly so the fence stays straight and firm
Landscaping
Landscaping is about making the most of what you've got. Sometimes it's a case of reshaping an awkward garden, creating cleaner lines and better use of space. Other times it's a more involved project — combining paving, fencing and planted areas to create something that actually works for how you live.
Nicky brings a practical, experienced eye to every landscaping project. He'll tell you what's realistic, what will last, and what'll make the biggest difference to your garden.
- Garden reshaping and layout improvement
- Artificial grass installation — clean, low-maintenance finish
- Hard landscaping combined with planting areas and borders
- Paths, steps and level changes integrated into the overall design
- Combining paving, fencing and landscaping in one cohesive project
- Finished to a consistent standard throughout
Groundworks
Good groundwork is the bit you can't see once the job's done — but it's what makes everything else last. Before any surface goes down, the ground needs to be prepared correctly: excavated to the right depth, properly levelled, and with an adequate sub-base in place.
Nicky handles all groundwork as part of his paving and landscaping projects, but can also be brought in for standalone ground preparation where needed.
- Excavation and soil removal to required depths
- Site levelling and ground preparation
- Sub-base installation for driveways, patios and paved areas
- Drainage considerations as part of every project
- Correct foundations for fencing posts and retaining walls
- Creating the right base for long-lasting outdoor work
Full Garden Makeovers
Sometimes a garden just needs a complete fresh start. A full garden makeover brings together all of Nicky's skills in one project — groundwork, paving, fencing, and landscaping — resulting in a finished outdoor space that you'll actually want to use.
Because Nicky handles everything himself, the quality is consistent from the groundwork right through to the final tidy-up. No handoffs, no gaps in quality, and no surprises.
- Complete outdoor transformation from the ground up
- Paving, fencing, landscaping and groundwork all combined
- One point of contact throughout — Nicky, start to finish
- Consistent quality across every element of the project
- Outdoor spaces designed to last and be enjoyed for years
- Neat finish and full site clear-up on completion
