Driveway Contractors in Dorking | Your FAQs About Our Landscaping Gardening and Other Services

Common Landscaping Questions Answered

What different styles of fencing can I feature on my property? 

The most common style is timber lap panel fencing or close board panelling. The two ubiquitous kinds can be sourced in various colours, finishes and sizes. Timber palisade fencing can also be found on the properties of many local residents, while non-timber options like composite garden fencing are also increasing in popularity. Then there’s trellis fencing, which can be added to additional fencing structures or left standalone. It’s more of a decorative option, which plants can climb and grow all over – a great way to make your landscape gardening scheme stand out. 

Which materials are best for driveways? 

There is no one “best material”, as a lot of the decision-making process comes down to personal preference. But the most popular among Surrey homeowners would likely be block paving. There are numerous reasons why driveway contractors, including our team, tout this material as a fantastic option. It looks great, is stylistically versatile, easy to maintain and repair, and is affordable to boot!

Our driveway contractors also install the following:

• Brick Pavers

• Concrete

• Gravel

• Tarmac

If you’re looking for something cheap and cheerful, concrete and tarmac get the job done, though many find they look plain and “bare bones”. Gravel and brick tend to be chosen for their unique aesthetic. The former looks rustic, while the latter suits properties trying to capture a European charm. If you’re unsure which to choose or want more information about the characteristics of each material, we urge you to contact Andrew Jee Landscaping – the area’s top-choice driveway contractor.

How can you assist me in the landscape gardening department? 

Our team can design and build a garden from scratch, covering every aspect of the process – including landscape gardening elements. This includes helping you pick out plants, trees and similar foliage and choose high-quality, nutrient-rich turf that suits your needs. We’ll work with you to plan where each element will look best and then build any required structural elements, like walls, steps and raised areas. We can also incorporate stand-alone centrepieces like ponds and fountains. 

But we’re aware that not all our clients need a new garden; many come to us quite happy with what they’ve got and want a single feature added or amended. This isn’t a problem whatsoever! We take on jobs of all sizes, even if we’re planting the odd bit of greenery and helping you to be truly happy with your garden area.

Which materials are best for laying patios?

There are several options you have available when it comes to patio laying. Like with driveways, block paving and brick are great choices. Tile can also work if you have an affinity for it. But the most popular material is natural stone. Although expensive, it’s hard-wearing and looks fantastic. 

There are many different types of stone suitable for patios, and each bit has minor imperfections that give it the warm and natural look that works so well within the vast majority of wider landscaping themes. As with those searching for driveway contractors, if you require advice on materials from a team of genuine experts, contact Andrew Jee Landscaping immediately.
