The Landscape Company designs and builds patios, driveways and complete garden spaces for homes in Farnham and the surrounding Surrey villages. We combine thoughtful planning with proper groundworks and careful construction, creating outdoor spaces that look right and perform properly for years to come.
Whether you're replacing an existing patio, creating a new driveway or planning a more substantial garden transformation, we manage the construction from preparation through to completion.
Porcelain, Yorkstone and natural stone patios, designed around the property and built with proper foundations, drainage and carefully finished details.
Structurally sound garden walls and retaining walls, designed around the site with proper foundations, accurate levels and construction built to last.
Gravel drives, paved approaches, granite set borders and entrance detailing that complements both period and contemporary Farnham homes.
Retaining walls, steps, paths, seating areas and structural garden elements that bring shape, flow and longevity to your outdoor space.
We help refine your ideas into a clear plan, then manage the full build — coordinating materials, timings and finishes from start to completion.
We focus on considered, construction-led landscaping for homes in and around Farnham. From first conversation through to the final clean down, everything is handled with care by our own team — from porcelain and natural stone patios to full garden transformations.

The finished patio is only the last part of the job. These examples show the sort of construction work behind a finished natural-stone or porcelain surface, from preparing the ground and setting levels to laying and finishing the paving.
Ground preparation, accurate levels and careful laying before the finished natural stone surface is complete.
Preparing the base and setting the paving carefully around the house, thresholds and wider garden levels.
Laying and setting paving within an established garden, with changes of level, access and surrounding planting considered.
Farnham is a blend of period houses, modern extensions and rural properties. Popular choices include:
Farnham has a mix of sandy soils and clay pockets depending on the area. This makes correct excavation and sub-base construction critical to avoid movement and rocking slabs.
In many Farnham gardens — particularly Lower Bourne, Wrecclesham and Upper Hale — slopes, clay pockets and mature trees influence how water behaves.
To prevent water pooling or damp issues we may incorporate:
On steeper plots with terraces and walls, drainage is usually designed alongside any retaining walls and level changes so that the whole structure works together.
Patios in Farnham need refined detailing to match the quality of local homes. We take care with:

Perfect for extensions, bi-fold doors and outdoor dining areas where you want a clean, contemporary finish.
Ideal for cottages and character properties in Tilford, Frensham and Crondall where a softer, more traditional look suits the architecture.

A patio is a long-term investment in how you use your home. Built properly, it should feel solid, drain well and tie seamlessly into your garden and internal living spaces.

If you’d like to understand what really makes a patio last — from sub-base and bonding to porcelain and sandstone quality — these deeper guides go beyond brochure photos and look at how the structure and materials behave over time.
A structural look at patios: what sits under the slabs, how cement cures, why full bonding matters, and why most failures start long before the surface is finished.
How porcelain is engineered, why some tiles crack outdoors, and how we assess quality before agreeing to install a product.
Why some sandstone patios mellow beautifully and others fail, plus insight into quarry quality, test data and ethical sourcing schemes.
Landscaping is not simply about choosing materials that look good. On Farnham and surrounding Surrey properties, levels, drainage, ground conditions and access can have as much influence on the finished result as the design itself.
We consider the ground beneath the garden as carefully as the finished surface, with proper preparation and construction at the heart of every project.
Levels, drainage, access, existing structures and local ground conditions are considered before construction begins.
We manage the practical construction process as one coordinated project, keeping the work clear and straightforward from preparation to completion.
We explain the options, materials, construction requirements and likely costs so you can make informed decisions before work begins.
