The full external envelope of a property, from groundworks and drainage to stone, lawns, planting and ironwork, sequenced by one team rather than handed between a builder, a landscaper and a metalworker.
Why one contractor.
Exterior work fails at the joints between trades. The landscaper who cannot alter drainage, the builder who subcontracts the planting, the metalworker booked for the wrong week. When the ground, the water, the stone and the finish belong to separate contracts, the gaps between them belong to you.
We run external works the way we run a refurbishment: one written scope, one programme, one director responsible for the result. Groundworks and drainage are designed before the paving is chosen, so the finished surfaces sit on work that will not need to be reopened.
The same discipline covers restoration as well as new work. Period ironwork, render and boundary walls are brought back rather than replaced where the original fabric deserves it.
