Frequently asked questions about landscaping in Leatherhead
Practical answers to common questions we discuss during local garden consultations.
- Do I need planning permission for landscaping in Leatherhead?
- Most routine garden landscaping does not need planning permission. Permission or separate consent may be needed for substantial raised terraces, tall boundary treatments, outbuildings, work affecting protected trees, or a listed property. Conservation areas and site-specific restrictions can also matter, so we identify likely constraints during the survey and recommend confirming them with Mole Valley District Council before work begins.
- What soil and drainage conditions are common in Leatherhead?
- Leatherhead sits where chalk meets clay, so soils can vary from garden to garden. We test and plan each site, choosing planting and foundations that suit what lies beneath.
- How long does a landscaping project in Leatherhead usually take?
- The programme depends on the garden's size, access, levels and the amount of construction and planting involved. A focused patio or planting project may take several weeks, while a complete design-and-build transformation can take longer. After surveying the Leatherhead property and agreeing the design, we provide a project-specific schedule and explain any weather or ground-condition allowances.
- What do you check before starting a garden project in Leatherhead?
- We assess access for materials and machinery, existing levels, drainage, underground services, boundaries, mature trees, sunlight and how the garden will be used. This site-specific survey is especially important because conditions can change between neighbouring Leatherhead properties; recommendations are based on the individual garden rather than assumptions about the wider area.
