  • They did my rear garden on two levels with sleepers, Indian stone and artificial grass. What a great team. The job they did is top quality and I would definitely recommend them.

  • ALLPAVE arrived and in 3 days I had a level lawn and a new extended patio. The new fence and top quality lawn look beautiful. Thank you John and all the lads.

Landscaping explained

Hard landscaping and garden paving across Lancashire

Landscaping at All Pave means the hard structure of a garden. That covers patios, paths, steps, edging, drainage and boundary fencing, planned together so the garden is easier to use and easier to look after. Many of our landscaping jobs start with a garden that stays wet, has awkward levels, or has been improved bit by bit over the years so nothing quite joins up.

We work from our base in Bamber Bridge, across Lancashire and in Southport and Formby.

Planning the layout

A good garden layout starts with how you want to use the space. Where do you sit in the afternoon sun? Where do the bins go? Which routes do people actually walk? Answering those questions first stops paths going to the wrong place and patios ending up in permanent shade.

We then look at the practical side. That means levels across the garden, where surface water collects, how materials and machinery will get in, and how the new work meets the house, the driveway and the boundaries.

Levels and steps

Many Lancashire gardens slope, whether gently towards the house or steeply up a hillside. Changes in level can be handled with steps, raised patio areas and retaining edges. Steps need an even rise and a comfortable tread depth so they are safe to use, and should be built on a proper base so they do not tilt or crack over time.

Drainage

Standing water is one of the most common reasons people call us. Patios and paths are laid to falls so rain runs away from the house and off the paving, and any hard surface next to the house sits at least 150mm below the damp proof course. Where water collects, channel drains, gravel filled trenches or a soakaway can carry it away. Sorting out drainage before choosing materials saves a lot of problems later.

Materials

We work with the same materials we use on driveways, so the garden can tie in with the front of the house.

  • Indian stone for patios, paths and steps with a natural look.
  • Block paving for paths, edging and hard wearing areas.
  • Resin bound surfacing for smooth, free draining paths and patios.
  • Imprinted concrete for larger areas with a continuous finish.
  • Fencing and gates to finish the boundary and screen areas of the garden.

Each hard surface is built on a compacted sub base suited to how it will be used, with firm edging so it stays in place.

Typical projects

  • a new patio with steps down to the lawn
  • replacing a sunken or uneven patio and paths
  • paths and side access linking the front and back of the house
  • sorting out a wet garden with better falls and drainage
  • fencing and paving done together as one project
  • tidying the garden of a new build after handover

Keeping the garden low maintenance

  • Choose surfaces that suit the use, such as smooth, well drained paving near the house and hard wearing surfaces on busy routes.
  • Keep joints filled and weed early so paving stays firm.
  • Sweep leaves off paving in autumn to stop algae building up.
  • Check drains and channels and keep them clear.
  • Treat timber fencing every few years.

How All Pave works

Every landscaping job starts with a free site survey. We look round the garden, check the levels, drainage and access, and talk through how you want to use the space. The written quote then breaks the job into its parts, such as patio, paths, steps, drainage and fencing, so you can see what each element involves and adjust the scope if you need to. For early guidance, send a few photos and your postcode. We are based in Bamber Bridge and cover Lancashire, including Southport and Formby.

What a good landscaping job needs

The finish you see sits on work you do not. These are the parts of a landscaping job that decide how well it drains, how it wears and how long it lasts.

The groundwork that matters

  • A layout planned around how the garden is used day to day.
  • Levels and drainage worked out before patios, paths or lawns go in.
  • Steps, edges and boundaries that tie the different areas together.
  • Materials that match the driveway and house where they meet.

How a landscaping job runs

We visit the property to measure up and check levels, drainage and access. You then get a written quote setting out the work, and once you are happy we agree a start date with you.

All Pave hard landscaping and garden paving, quote scope and materials

What we can include in the quote

New installs, replacements, adjoining paths or patios, edging, steps and the areas where one surface meets another can all be priced together in one written quote.

What makes landscaping last

Most problems with landscaping come back to three things. The base underneath, the way water moves off it, and how well the edges are finished.

Base Excavation, sub base depth, compaction and preparation decide whether the surface keeps its shape.
Fall Levels, drainage and water movement need thinking through before the visible finish goes down.
Detail Edges, cuts, transitions, borders and a tidy handover are what make the finished job look right.

Landscaping questions from Lancashire homeowners

What is included in a proper garden landscaping installation?
A proper Landscaping project starts with clearing and setting out the area, resolving levels and drainage, preparing each surface correctly and sequencing hard and soft landscaping in the right order. The visible finish then uses patios, paths, turf, planting beds, sleepers, steps, gravel, fencing and practical links between each area, with the edges, transitions and final clean-down included in the written scope.
What preparation matters most for garden landscaping?
The important preparation is clearing and setting out the area, resolving levels and drainage, preparing each surface correctly and sequencing hard and soft landscaping in the right order. All Pave checks those details before agreeing the installation route because the work underneath has a direct effect on the finished result.
How do you decide whether garden landscaping suits a property?
We look at garden levels, drainage, access, soil condition, sunlight, boundaries, existing structures and how the space needs to be used. We then compare the finish, upkeep and day-to-day use with the alternatives instead of assuming one material or layout is right for every property.
Can one landscaping quote include patios, turf, sleepers and fencing?
Yes. Combining connected work in one plan often gives better levels, cleaner transitions and a more coherent garden. The quote should still separate the main elements so the scope is clear.
How long does a typical garden landscaping project take?
The programme depends on clearance, access, ground works, drainage, hard landscaping, planting or turfing and weather. We confirm the likely sequence after seeing the site, so excavation, preparation, installation and curing or settling time are not squeezed into a generic promise.
Can you quote from photos first?
Yes. Photos and a postcode help us give early guidance, then we can tighten it up with a site visit where needed.
Do you handle small jobs as well as full frontage projects?
Yes. Some enquiries are full redesigns and some are focused replacements or upgrades. We scope the job based on what the property actually needs.
Can All Pave help choose the right garden landscaping finish?
Yes. We can compare patios, paths, turf, planting beds, sleepers, steps, gravel, fencing and practical links between each area against the house style, adjoining paths or boundaries, drainage, traffic and budget before the final quote is prepared.
Clear Process, Proper Finish

What working with All Pave on landscaping looks like

If you are looking at landscaping, the usual next step is a quick survey, practical advice on finish and layout, and a straight answer on price, timing, and the right route for the property.

01

Free Survey

We look at the space, the access, the current condition, and what you want the finished result to achieve.

02

Quote & Advice

You get a clear recommendation on the right material, layout, and route, along with a written quote rather than guesswork.

03

Install Properly

Preparation, levels, drainage, edging, and finish are handled properly so the job is not just quick, but right.

04

Tidy Finish

You get a completed job that looks strong, feels properly finished, and improves how the property works day to day.

Typical Project Timeline

Smaller fencing and repair-led jobs can move quickly. Larger driveway, paving, patio, or multi-area exterior projects take longer once preparation, access, and finish detail are factored in properly.

  • A survey and clear brief helps the quote and schedule stay realistic.
  • Ground conditions, drainage work, and overall area size affect timing.
  • Good installations move efficiently, but not at the expense of preparation or finish quality.

Payment & Commercial Shape

Smaller jobs can often be handled simply, while larger projects are better split into sensible stages so the scope, progress, and payment structure stay clear.

  • You get a written quote before meaningful work starts.
  • If the scope changes materially, it gets discussed and priced clearly first.
  • Payment stages are kept straightforward and tied to visible progress where needed.
  • The aim is clarity, not surprise extras or vague moving targets.

Best Fit

  • Homeowners who want a stronger finished result rather than the cheapest quick fix.
  • Properties where layout, access, drainage, privacy, or finish detail genuinely matter.
  • People who want practical advice, a clear quote, and installation handled properly from start to finish.

Probably Not The Right Fit

  • If the only goal is the cheapest job, whatever the preparation.
  • If the plan is to cover over level or drainage problems rather than fix them.

Why The Process Works

  • Clear surveys, written quotations, and practical recommendations rather than vague promises.
  • 20+ years in exterior work and a long track record across Lancashire and surrounding areas.
  • Real property-focused advice on finish, layout, drainage, durability, and kerb appeal.
  • A straightforward route from first enquiry to completed job with no sales fog in the middle.
