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

10 No nonsense, hard working team
Posted 20 September
Richard and team did a cracking job transforming the mess of concrete at the back of our house that had been an eyesore since we moved in! We now have a beautiful patio and have regained a completely unused space. I didn't think what they ultimately achieved was actually possible. They listened to what we wanted and found a solution that worked. The boys put in a lot of hard graft. No nonsense and straight talking. Would happily recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: GU27Response from 1st Advanced Landscapes Limited

Job location: GU26Finding reliable, skilled landscaping firms that actually deliver on their promises can be challenging these days. We were fortunate to work with 1st Advanced Landscapes—a genuinely first-class team. Our project was comprehensive: groundwork, block work, deck replacement, turfing, paving, etc. Every element was completed professionally and to a high standard. What particularly impressed us was how clean they left everything. No mess, no debris—just our beautifully transformed garden. If you're considering any landscaping work, I can confidently recommend 1st Advanced landscapes.Response from 1st Advanced Landscapes Limited
Thank you, James, for your recommendation here - that’s most appreciated! It has been our pleasure to come back to do more work for such a genuinely, nice client. I can’t believe it was 5 years ago we did your driveway. All the very best, Allison
10 First Class Company

We recently had our garden and driveway landscaped. From the very outset Richard and his team were professional, courteous, tidy and there were no hidden financial surprises. The standard of work was exceptional. Communication with Richard the 'office' was always very clear and George and Mike were an absolute pleasure to have on site everyday. I didn't really want to post this as it will might mean that I will never be able to get a 'slot' for any future work. I wish 1st Advanced Landscape all the very best as all success is well deserved.Verified reviewerJob location: GU28Response 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
