    Excellent workmanship

    Posted 1 week ago

    The work was carried out exactly as discussed. At every stage there was a briefing as to what was happening, and the two men who worked on the project involved me, in terms of checking I was happy with each element. They were polite and respectful and worked through the extreme heat, to finish in eight days. The workmanship and attention to detail was excellent, and I was delighted with the results.

    A skilled team and excellent outcome

    Posted 1 week ago

    We are so pleased with the driveway and soakaway that 1st Advanced Landscapes installed and have received many compliments about the work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Richard, George and Craig were highly skilled, conscientious and a pleasure to have around, and Allison proved great support. The job was completed on time and on budget, and communication was excellent throughout.

    Outstanding Transformation and Attention to Detail

    Posted 01 June

    1st Advanced Landscapes recently completed a patio and driveway project, and the results have been outstanding. The quality of workmanship and overall finish have completely transformed the outdoor space and driveway. What really stood out was the attention to detail throughout the project, from the patio edging to the carefully shaped curves of the wall and lawn border. Every element has been finished to a very high standard. The team were extremely professional, helpful and polite - we would highly recommend them.

    New patio and garden paths

    Posted 09 May

    1st Advanced Landscapes have been amazing since our first contact with them when we wanted to redo our patio and garden paths. Richard came out 2-3 times initially to discuss the designs and drainage issues and then we were sent full and complete quotes by Allison with all the options of different stones and bricks to choose. Mike and Andy completed the project for us over a period of 8 weeks and we could not have been more impressed with their work ethic and attention to detail. They were absolute perfectionists with every aspect of the job. We cannot recommend this company highly enough.

    Soakaway, driveway and block paving

    Posted 07 April

    Extremely happy with the service provided, right from the first visit where Richard listened to our initial ideas and suggested a practical design. The on-site team of George and Craig were cheerful, punctual and considerate, and we were consistently impressed with their attention to detail, hard work and professionalism. Communication from everyone was excellent, with especial thanks to Allison for timely updates and prompt replies to emails. Overall, we have rarely felt quite so confident in a company from the outset and we have no hesitation in recommending them.

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
