Garden renovation - price advice | Forum

idayrare corded
Anyone any recent experience of paying for a garden renovation? Or are you a landscaper and able to give a ballpark estimate?

Before getting our dog my lawn was like Wembley, only with better stripes. It is now a muddy, patchy mess with the odd hole here and there.

Decided it’s time to renovate the whole garden. Arranging some quotes, so would be useful to know if anyone has had any recent works done so we can assess if they’re reasonable - or if we need to adapt our plans slightly.

I’m after:
- Around 40m2 of either outdoor porcelain or sandstone.
- Around 20m2 of composite decking.
- Around 100m2 of turf

Prices to include supply and labour. The garden is flat. At the minute it is predominantly laid to lawn (now mud) bar a small section of concrete paving outside the patio doors running the border of the house. I’m in the North East if that impacts on anything.

Any advice welcome!

We had our garden done last year as it was a right mess: - lift old patio, - lay new slabs, - new fencing, - new decking, - tidy up lawn. We got a few quotes, didn't go for the cheapest, went for the ones who gave me the best gut feel. Paid around 7k.

Getting good quotes really depends on where you are and the job’s specifics. From my own experience, prices for garden renovations can vary wildly, so getting multiple quotes is key. Checking reviews and previous work helps a lot too. this site has some good garden furniture options, and seeing what others have paid for similar projects can give you a rough idea of what’s reasonable before committing.
