10 Top team for our project
Posted 09 December 2025
Great team from initial consultation to completion. Totally grasped the project objectives and requirements from the outset. Very polite, punctual, reliable and professional. The team were also highly flexible throughout the project to accommodate additional work and to adapt the programme accordingly. Their experience and attention to detail was very evident. I would recommend 1st Advanced Landscapes and hope to engage them on another project in the future.Verified reviewerJob location: GU30- PPaul B

Job location: GU26Richard, George, Andy, and Craig did a fantastic job. They were with us for 7 weeks, worked extremely hard every day, were unobtrusive and professional going about their work and ensured the site was left tidy at the end of every day. Nothing was too much trouble, we were constantly asked if we were happy with the work that was being done and they were happy to incorporate changes to scope. The team were very meticulous about the work they were doing and the completed project was done to the highest level. I would highly recommend 1st Advanced Landscapes and the work that they do.Response from 1st Advanced Landscapes Limited

We are so pleased with the patio that Richard and his team have created, it looks even better than we had envisaged. Meticulous care was taken at every step and a lot of hard work put into finishing the job on time to a very high standard, despite the challenging weather. I only have good things to say, as they were very punctual, polite and unobtrusive. Richard regularly came round to see how things were progressing and was great at answering any queries we had. A mention for Allison also, who kept us fully informed from start to finish – a refreshing change to have prompt replies to emails.Verified reviewerJob location: GU35Response from 1st Advanced Landscapes Limited

Hello and welcome to 1st Advanced Landscapes Ltd. Richard started the business in 2012 shortly after we moved to Hindhead, though his experience in landscaping dates back to his post-school days in Dorset.
I started supporting the business in 2017 after taking a career break to raise our family.
Previously, I worked in a number of corporate finance & accountancy roles.
Our team are highly skilled landscaping technicians who competently undertake and professionally deliver large, technical projects in all areas of hard and soft landscaping:
- Full garden re-design
- Driveways - block paved & stone
- Patios - porcelain & sandstone
- Natural stone retaining walls & brickwork
- Decking - composite & hardwood & softwood
- Drainage - new soakaways, pipework, ACO drainage.
- Ponds & pergolas, bases & fencing.
- Garden levelling and new lawns.
- Outdoor kitchens/dining/seating, fire pits.
Our two team leaders, Mike and George, have been with us 12 and 7 years respectively.
Their meticulous attention to detail, work ethic, and commitment to every project, large or small, is hard to beat.
You won't find many landscapers willing to work to 8pm on a Saturday night when required; they will willingly go the extra mile on every one of our projects.
As a business, we are VAT registered, have our public & employer liability insurance underwritten by AXA, and guarantee our own workmanship for 5 years.
We cover Haslemere & Godalming, Farnham & Alton, Liphook & Petersfield, Hindhead, Grayshott & Headley, and all local surrounding villages.
Our visits and quotations are free and without obligation.
We do get booked up in advance - it is never too early to start planning your garden project with us.
Best wishes
Allison
