FAQ’s
What is a landscape gardener and what do they do?
A landscape gardener is a skilled tradesperson who designs, builds and plants gardens — combining hard landscaping (patios, walls, paving, structures) with soft landscaping (turf, planting, hedging, borders) to create a finished outdoor space. Unlike a general gardener, who typically maintains an existing garden, a landscape gardener is involved from initial design through to construction and planting, often working from detailed plans. At Elitescapes, our landscape gardeners handle every stage of a project themselves — surveying your garden, agreeing a design, and installing both the structural and planted elements — so you deal with one accountable team rather than coordinating several separate tradespeople.
How do hard landscaping and soft landscaping work together in a project?
Hard landscaping and soft landscaping are planned together, not in isolation, so a garden’s structure and its planting support each other. Hard landscaping — patios, walls, steps, pergolas and drainage — is usually installed first, since it sets the levels, layout and access that everything else depends on. Soft landscaping — turf, borders, hedging and trees — is then planted once the structural work and any groundworks are complete, so plants aren’t disturbed by later construction. At Elitescapes, our hard and soft landscaping teams work from the same design from day one, which is why our projects are sequenced as a single build rather than two separate jobs.
What should I look for in a landscaping company before hiring one?
Look for a company with a genuine portfolio of completed projects, in-house teams rather than subcontracted labour, public liability insurance, and clear guarantees on workmanship and materials. Ask whether design and construction are handled by the same company — using separate designers and contractors can lead to gaps in accountability if something goes wrong. At Elitescapes, our landscaping and design teams work together under one roof, every project is covered by a workmanship guarantee, and we provide a detailed written quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what’s included and who’s responsible for it.
Do you offer full garden makeovers and renovations, not just landscaping?
Yes, we handle complete garden makeovers and renovations, not just individual landscaping tasks. That can mean starting from an overgrown or unused garden and rebuilding it entirely — regrading levels, installing new patios or structures, and replanting from scratch — or refreshing an existing garden’s layout, planting and hard surfaces without a full rebuild. Every project is scoped to your specific space and goals, from a full outdoor living renovation to a more focused update of one area. Get in touch describing your garden’s current condition and what you’d like it to become, and we’ll advise on the right scope of work.
Which areas do Elitescapes cover for landscaping?
We provide landscaping and garden design services across Beckenham, Chislehurst, Orpington, Sevenoaks, West Wickham, Westerham and Dulwich, along with the wider South East London and West Kent area. Each of these areas has its own dedicated page with examples of local projects, but our full team and process is the same wherever you’re based within our coverage area. If your property is just outside these locations, get in touch anyway — we regularly take on projects across a wider radius depending on the size and scope of the work involved.
Do you offer garden design as well as landscaping?
Yes, garden design and landscaping are both core services at Elitescapes, and most projects use both together. Our design team creates a detailed plan for your garden first — including layout, materials and planting — so you can see how the finished space will look before any construction starts. Our landscaping teams then build the design exactly as planned, covering both hard landscaping (patios, walls, structures) and soft landscaping (turf, planting, borders). You can start with either service: come to us with a fully formed idea for construction, or begin from scratch with a design consultation.
What makes Elitescapes different from other landscaping companies?
Elitescapes designs and builds every project in-house, using permanent teams of landscapers rather than subcontractors, and backs each installation with a workmanship and materials guarantee for long-term peace of mind. That means the same accountable team sees your project through from initial design to final planting, rather than different contractors handling different stages. Our focus is on longevity — choosing materials and installation methods that are built to last, not just look good on completion day — combined with close collaboration with you throughout, so the finished garden matches your specification rather than a generic template.
How does the landscaping process work, from enquiry to completion?
The process starts with an enquiry through our contact form, which we respond to within 24 hours to arrange next steps. From there, we carry out a site visit to assess your garden, discuss your requirements and budget, and put together a design — covering both hard landscaping (structural elements) and soft landscaping (planting). Once you approve the design and quote, our in-house teams carry out the build, typically installing hard landscaping first before soft landscaping is planted. Timescales vary with project size, but you’ll have a clear schedule agreed before work starts, so you know what to expect at each stage.
