Common questions from Exeter homeowners about hard landscaping
Your hard landscaping investment depends on several key factors:
We provide transparent, fixed-price quotes with all materials and labour included. Book a free consultation to receive your personalised quote within 48 hours.
Hard landscaping projects in Exeter typically complete in 1-4 weeks. Patios take around 1-2 weeks, driveways 2-3 weeks, and larger projects with retaining walls 3-4 weeks. We provide realistic timelines and deliver on schedule.
Most hard landscaping in Exeter doesn't require planning permission. However, driveways may need approval if they affect drainage, and properties in conservation areas may have restrictions. We advise on requirements and handle applications to Exeter City Council.
Quality hard landscaping typically adds 5-15% to Exeter property values. Well-designed patios, driveways, and outdoor spaces are highly desirable in Exeter's property market and provide excellent return on investment.
For Exeter's climate, we recommend porcelain paving for patios (low maintenance, frost-resistant), natural stone for character properties, and permeable block paving for driveways. We'll advise on the best materials for your specific property and budget.
