Landscaping Services. Swansea

Garden design is a different discipline to landscaping but the two are interdependent. I shouldn’t be saying this but despite what others blog posts say, a garden design is not always necessary, sometimes all you need is a quick sketch. However hiring both will not add to the overall cost of the project in fact you’ll more than likely save money.
We can offer a 3d CAD drawing or a quick sketch depending on your needs.

They vary according to the scope of works, the materials you choose and quality of the workmanship. Never base them on garden makeover programs, The price shown rarely includes any labour costs and very often they have had a massive discount on materials from suppliers so they can generate business from the viewers. Think of it as an investment like a kitchen , bathroom or extension. Did you know that a tastefully designed and well built garden can increase the value of your home by 5-12%, not only this but it will also be investing in your personal wellbeing and happiness, enjoying your outdoor space with family and friends.

Your quote should include the following:

PREPARATION -  Stripping your garden back, disposing of waste ,tree work, excavating and  building sub bases. A lot of this work is called ‘ Dead work’ as its work that is never seen again.

ACCESS -  Entryways for materials , people and equipment. This could increase the labour costs.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT -  This is to ensure the entire garden build runs smoothly.

LEVELS AND EARTHWORKS -  Some of the biggest costs in the project especially if soil needs to be removed or brought in to increase the levels.

PLANT HIRE AND MACHINERY-  Having the right tools and machinery on site really helps and can speed the project up.

HEALTH AND SAFETY -  often overlooked by less professional landscapers. At MLC Garden Solutions we have a duty of care to everyone on and around our site. Staff are regularly updated with ‘tool box’ talks to insure standards are kept high.

MATERIALS -  All materials should be included so shouldn’t have to worry about a thing.

LABOUR -  The most important part of the project. Skilled men and women who can create your garden to the very highest of standards.

This is a question I get asked all the time.

From my experience people have used poor quality tradesmen or unlicensed teams in the past which gives them an unrealistic expectations in terms of pricing.

I admit we are not the cheapest company around but I am passionate about what we do and treat every project like it was my own garden. I ensure quality workmanship that is up to industry standards, along with this we use certain types of materials and take our time to really ensure that each project is built to perfection.

That depends on how quick you get booked in. We operate a first come first serve basis and tend to get booked up early for the period between March and September.
