    Full garden landscape and new front of garage

    Posted 1 day ago

    From start to finish Chris and his team were amazing. They communicated every step of the way and offered advice and better alternatives when we were not sure. The finished garden looks incredible and I am over the moon!

    Block paved driveway

    Posted 30 March

    Second time I've had work done within the past year and as before very happy with the result. The block paved driveway looks great. Rain caused a delay in finishing, and where I think most contractors would have sanded the drive despite this, Dan waited until it was dry to be done properly. Would definitely recommend, a professional service from start to finish.

    Garden Renovation

    Posted 21 March

    We are absolutely delighted with our transformed garden! From start to finish, communication was faultless. Chris was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us great advice throughout the process. The team on site did a fantastic job, skilled, tidy, and always courteous. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. We would not hesitate to recommend Balfour Landscapes to anyone looking for a professional and reliable landscaping service. Sean Taylor

    Repairing drain inspection cover

    Posted 22 January

    Balfour did a good job of repairing a poorly installed manhole cover. Although, the start date slipped by one day they communicated the change clearly, so we knew what was happening. This was not the first time we had used them and as always the quality of work, desire to do things properly rather than just get them done and consideration and courtesy while they were working were all reassuringly present. We would use them again and have and will recommend them to friends, family etc.

    Creation of Media Wall in Living Room

    Posted 14 January

    We have used Chris and his team countless times over the years and as always, the service, attention to detail, attentiveness and overall quality was second to none. Chris and his team created a bespoke media wall to house a glass fireplace, tv and soundbar. We worked on designing it together and overcame any problems collaboratively so that we were happy with the final result. It has transformed our living room and makes it a place we love to spend time in. Cannot recommend Balfour enough!

    New extension, patio, paths and engineered wood flooring

    Posted 12 January

    I was very impressed with Balfour from the outset when Chris came and gave the initial quote and made various helpful suggestions. He kept me updated re timescales and everything wrnt according to plan. Chris, Dan and the team were extremely hard-working and very polite - even the neighbours commented on how impressed they were with the guys. I now have a fabulous extension and a beautiful patio and paths in the garden. The guys then came back and laid engineered wood flooring in a number of rooms. I have now booked them in for another job!

Our Process:

We probably work quite differently to other trades people you have met before. Our approach is all about listening, clarity and communication.

Our initial visit will always be very much centred around what YOU want to achieve from the space you would like created. From there we are on hand to assist you with our honest opinion and provide you with the years of experience we have. After all, that’s why you call us!

Whether this is design ideas, material pairings or colour schemes for planting. Our goal is to interpret your ideas and transform them into the dream you had before we started.

Once we leave you, we’ll have a great idea of what it is you are trying to achieve. Within a week we will have a full, detailed quotation sent across for you to read through. Where required we can also create ‘mood boards’ and sketches which certainly help with more detailed and complex projects. If you have any questions or amendments that you would like to discuss, we are always at the end of the phone or on email.

Once you let us know you’d like to us to work with you, we arrange a second meeting to agree the final design, material options and mark out the garden area if necessary, to help you visualise the space.

From that point, we provide you with an approximate start date (you never can rely on the British weather) and we get going with all the behind the scenes organising ready to begin.

Throughout the project Chris, Dan and the team are always on hand to answer any questions, make any adjustments you’ve since thought about and make any last decisions on materials, sizes of areas etc.

When we are all finished making a mess and your project is complete, we like to have a final consultation with our customers. Nothing formal, this is really just a walk round the garden discussing the particular elements, checking you are happy and providing information on the best ways to care for your new dream space.
