Garden work in Worcestershire is priced by stage rather than by the square metre. Design and planning starts at £750, soft landscaping and planting from £1,500, lighting and features from £950, and hard landscaping — levelling, retaining structures, terracing — from £3,500. A full remodel typically runs two to six weeks on site depending on how much structural change the plot needs. Sloped gardens cost more than level ones because the retaining and drainage work happens before anything visible goes in. We start with a design so you can see the layout, levels and planting before committing to the build, and you can stop after the design stage if you would rather. Seastone Driveways & Patios is family-run, uses no subcontractors, guarantees workmanship for five years in writing, and takes no money before completion.
Most local landscapers can lay paving or plant a border. We do both — and the levelling, drainage, lighting and water features that tie a garden together. One team, one timeline, one accountable point of contact.
Every garden project starts with a free design consultation and ends with a written 5-year guarantee on the hard landscaping.
You can hire us for the whole project or just the parts you need help with — we work with your existing planting, structures or contractors.
Concept plans, detailed drawings, planting palettes — the blueprint.

Design fees typically run £750–£2,500 depending on garden size and complexity (free for projects we go on to build). A small remodel is £4,000–£8,000, a full medium-garden remodel £12,000–£25,000, larger projects £30,000+.
Design phase is 2–4 weeks (consultation → concept → final plan). Build phase varies: small remodel 1–2 weeks, medium remodel 4–6 weeks, full garden 8–12 weeks. We always work to a clear written timeline.
For hard landscaping yes — pressure-washing, re-jointing, sealing, repairs. For soft landscaping we partner with a local gardener for ongoing planting maintenance after the year-one establishment phase.

Yes — we're happy to keep mature planting, existing walls or structures and design around them. About half our projects are partial remodels rather than full clearances.
