Job location: GU26We were recommended to use this local business by a neighbour. The portfolio of works completed is very impressive. After a good discussion about options we agreed the work scope. The work was carried out in a very professional and efficient way. The guys on the project were all very pleasant , hard working and informative. They took into account impact on access to the house to make it as easy for us as possible. The overall quality of product and workmanship all excellent. Would definitely recommend this company.10 Friendly, professional and efficient

10 Garden Landscape Project
Posted 18 November 2025
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

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
