Pricing guide

Costs vary mainly with the feature complexity and whether specialist structural work or engineered footings are needed. Water features typically add waterproofing and mechanical coordination, while replacement jobs include demolition and disposal; callout/travel and after‑hours attendance also affect the final price.

  • Feature type and complexity

    Simple kit planters or edging are usually much less involved than water features or engineered stone and sleeper builds.

  • Materials and finishes chosen

    Timber, standard pavers or basic liners are generally quicker to install than heavy stone, structural steel or specialised finishes.

  • Engineered work and approvals

    Jobs that require structural footings, engineered sleepers or concrete piers typically broaden the scope and may need certification or council approval.

  • Demolition, disposal and site remediation

    Replacement or re‑install projects that include removal of existing features add labour, waste handling and minor remediation to the scope.

Service areas

Frequently asked questions

Is a licence required for garden feature work?
This category is typically unlicensed for basic garden features. However, engineered structural work, electrical or plumbing elements usually require licensed trades and any necessary approvals.
How long will an installation usually take?
Duration depends on the feature type and site conditions—simple kit installs are usually much quicker than engineered or heavy stone builds. A site inspection or detailed brief is typically needed to give a clearer estimate of labour hours.
What should I prepare before work starts?
Be ready to confirm the feature type, preferred materials and exact location, and note any access constraints or underground services. If an existing feature needs removal, flag that up as it usually changes the scope.
Will water features include pump and electrical work?
Water feature profiles commonly allow for liners, waterproofing and basic pump provision, but electrical and plumbing installations usually require licensed trades. Providers will typically coordinate these elements, though specialist filtration or engineered surrounds may need separate arrangements.
