Landscaping and Driveways in Hadleigh

Hadleigh is about five miles from our Southend base, up on the downs above the estuary. Plenty of SS7 gardens here are elevated, with views worth designing around, and many homes are bungalows or post-war semis.

Raised plots and bungalow gardens

Elevated downland gardens catch the wind, so we pay attention to fence post depth and panel choice, and to where a seating area will actually be sheltered. A patio positioned to take in the view, with a low wall or planting for shelter, is a typical design here.

Bungalow owners often want gardens that are easy to look after and safe underfoot. Level, step-free patios, artificial grass and resin bound paths suit that well, and a resin or block paved drive can remove the need to mow a front lawn entirely.

Front gardens on the higher roads can slope towards the pavement, so a new driveway may need careful falls and a drainage channel at the bottom to keep water off the road. We check this at the free visit and build it into the quote, rather than adding it later.

Practical answers

Can you make my garden step-free?
Often, yes. We look at the levels at the free visit and explain what is possible.
Is Hadleigh separate from Benfleet?
They share the SS7 postcode, but the ground is different: Hadleigh is higher and more exposed, Benfleet lower towards the creek.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, the 10 Year Guarantee covers our work here as it does everywhere we work.
