The Landscape Company
Haslemere · Surrey
Whether you’ve just moved into a new home or your garden hasn’t been touched in decades, a full garden rebuild can transform how you live outdoors.
We’ve redesigned countless gardens across Haslemere, Hindhead, Shottermill, Grayswood, Fernhurst and Linchmere — from overgrown slopes to completely blank canvases, often tying together new patios, driveways and entrances, retaining walls and drainage improvements into one coherent scheme.
A complete garden rebuild involves taking your existing outdoor space back to foundations and re-creating it with new:
It is the most effective way to maximise space, fix long-standing drainage issues and create a garden that matches your lifestyle, especially when combined with a clear understanding of overall landscaping budgets in Haslemere.
Haslemere gardens vary massively — from sloped woodland plots to terraced cottage gardens and newer developments on greensand soil.
Common reasons homeowners choose a full rebuild include:
On the steeper parts of Haslemere and Hindhead, full rebuilds are often the best way to combine safe level changes with usable terraces and long-term stability.
Every rebuild starts with understanding the ground beneath your feet. We look at:
This informs drainage, foundations and retaining structures. For a deeper dive into how soils affect construction, see our guide to soil types in Haslemere.
Working with your ideas, we create a layout that balances beauty and practicality:
On many projects, we’ll also consider front access, parking and bin storage so the whole property works as one.
Sloping Haslemere gardens often benefit hugely from terracing:
Terracing design is closely linked to retaining wall rules & safety to make sure everything is structurally sound and compliant.
A key element many older gardens lack.
Typical solutions include:
We design drainage in line with the principles we outline in our garden drainage & groundworks guide to help reduce long-term maintenance and protect your investment.
Once the foundations are established, we build:
Material choices often follow the same logic we set out in our porcelain vs sandstone comparison for Haslemere gardens.
The final stage brings the space to life:
We can design low-maintenance schemes, wildlife-friendly planting or more formal, structured gardens depending on how you like to use the space.

We can visit your home, discuss ideas, measure levels and produce a clear written plan for your new outdoor space. We also advise on planning permission and permitted development where level changes, walls or outbuildings are involved.
Costs vary depending on size, access, drainage and how much structural work is involved. As a rough guide, smaller rebuilds might start from around £12,000–£18,000, while larger, multi-level schemes with retaining walls, lighting and multiple terraces can range from £25,000 to £45,000+. Our Haslemere landscaping costs 2025 guide explains typical budget ranges in more detail.
Many garden projects fall under permitted development, especially where levels are not changed significantly and drainage is compliant. However, larger retaining walls, raised terraces, structures and properties in conservation areas may require additional checks. We always advise reviewing our planning permission rules for patios and garden works and, where necessary, speaking with the local planning authority.
Yes. Almost all of our full garden rebuilds are carried out while clients remain living in the property. We plan access routes, material deliveries and daily clean-downs to minimise disruption as far as possible.
With properly designed drainage, correct sub-base depths and good construction practice, a well-built garden should provide decades of use. Many of the longevity issues we see in Haslemere come from poor drainage or inadequate foundations, which we specifically address in our drainage & groundworks and paving longevity guidance.
