Customers choose Johnson Construction & Building Ltd because we can offer the services that they need without them having to call, and then deal with, multiple companies and contractors. While we are best known as a building and construction company, hard landscaping is very much in our remit. We can, of course, provide a groundworks service to facilitate construction work, but our talents also extend into the outdoor world to include the design and installation of new driveways, garden paving and garden patios.
Located in Dorking, our team covers all surrounding towns and villages in the Surrey area to include Bookham, Cobham, Esher and Reigate.
If you need a groundworks or hard landscaping service, please contact us to arrange a quotation. Examples of our previous work across the region can be seen in our portfolio, and we also have testimonials onsite where you can read what previous customers in the Dorking and Surrey areas have to say about our team, our services and our excellent standards of workmanship.
Below, we look at our main landscaping services in more detail:
Site Clearances
To facilitate groundworks and scheduled building or landscaping services, we clear land of debris, scrub and vegetation. This leaves the workspace clear for bulk excavation, earthworks and preparing ground so that everything is ready for the next stage of development on projects across the region.
Spoil and waste removal is included as a part of this service.
Groundworks
Groundworks is a key phase of any building or landscaping project. Using our own plant and machinery, which saves the customer money on project hire costs, we prepare ground so that foundations can be poured up to the DPC with all provisions made for foul drainage and surface water management.
Our landscaping services can also cover the addition of soakaways.
Footings and Foundations
After preparing ground on a construction project, and for property extensions in particular, we can pour footings and foundations in reinforced concrete ahead of the building work starting. With regards to landscaping, our team can also lay sub-bases to a specification based on your material choice.
All formwork, where needed, is included within our service range.
Surfacing Installations
Hard landscaping covers the installation of driveways, paving and patios, or the integration of other hard features which become a permanent part of the garden. We can surface using concrete flagstones, tarmacadam, block paving, resin and all natural stones including granite, sandstone and slate.
Mortar pointing and protective sealing are undertaken where applicable.
Retaining Walls
If you own a garden on sloped ground or with unstable soil conditions, talk to Johnson Construction & Building Ltd about the inclusion of retaining brick walls. These structures absorb the pressure of soil from one side to stabilise the ground conditions and to stop future instances of subsidence and collapse.
This is also an effective choice for creating landscapes in different tiers.
Garden Brickwork
Brick can also be used to create ornamental features in landscaping themes, or practical additions such as steps. As a company of builders, brickwork is a skillset that comes naturally to us, and we can also construct brick fireplaces and BBQs, perimeter walls, borders for lawns and even pathways and patios.
The versatility of brick gives us plenty of options with hard landscaping.
If you need a dependable hard landscaping service that brings out the best in your outdoor space, we would love to hear for you. Johnson Construction & Building Ltd is a customer-focused business that puts your satisfaction first, and we firmly believe that the standards we set in building and construction cross over into the world of landscaping seamlessly to benefit our projects.
We can landscape in our hometown of Dorking, in the surrounding Bookham, Cobham, Esher and Reigate areas, and across all parts of Surrey.
