Explore Our Reviews From Our Exceptional Clients.

    They were very professional, courteous, neat and accommodating to our wish list. They were also great in giving some design recommendations. Ultimately, they delivered our dream garden. We would definitely recommend them!

    Joanne Ling

    We used Refined Landscapes for garden design and landscaping work. At every step, from initial site visit, quotation, sketch design through to being on site, we found Jacob and his team to be excellent and clear communicators. We found each member of the team to be solution orientated and highly motivated. They worked collaboratively with us at every stage and we are beyond happy with the results.

    Nicki Power

    Couldn’t be happier with refined landscapes and would highly recommend to anyone carrying out garden work large or small. Despite being a smaller job, Jake and team were responsive and very quick to quote. They were reliable and flexible and made us feel that they cared about the project. If we ever have garden work done again I would not use anyone else apart from these guys!

    Jenny Powell

    We used Jake and his team for a redesign of our front garden and they were excellent from the get go. Jake was superb with the design – really listening to what we wanted to achieve and making sure that the design worked with our budget. The team were brilliant on site – punctual, reliable, hard working and a pleasure to have around. Highly recommend.

    Katherine Jones

    Jacob and his team at Refined Landscapes were great from start to finish on our patio and hard landscaping project.

    Whilst we had a broad idea of our design, Jacob was able to provide advice to help shape it and bring it to life. They were very professional and easy to communicate with. I would certainly recommend them!

    Peter Alsop

    Refined landscapes redesigned part of my garden ready for the summer. Issac and Javier were very professional and knowledgeable during the changes, ensuring that everything was done correctly and to last. They were a great team and would use them again

    Vicky Byford

    Jake and the entire team at Refined have been fantastic to work with throughout. We’re now getting them booked in to do phase 2 of the project, which they have managed in line with our budget. Highly recommended!

    Sam Dickinson

    What a fantastic service received from Refined. We commissioned Jacob and his team for a small permeable block driveway.

    Upon first impressions it became evident that Jacob knew exactly what was required in the specifications of building a correct permeable drive which filled us with confidence in their abilities straight away.

    Martin Wallace

    All the lads that worked on our garden were professional, polite and tidy. They cleaned everything down before they left leaving the garden spotless. We are very happy with the way the garden design has been executed. We highly recommend Refined Landscapes.

    Chris Price

    Great company! We have used them for large patio areas for two projects! Over the last 3years. Professional and achieve the best results! We have a large garden and have struggled this year to get our usual maintenance guys to help. We contacted Jake and two of his team came to do garden maintenance. Turned up when they said they would, and got the job done! So pleased! Thanks guys!

    Diane Pitts

    Thank you to all the amazing team at Refined Landscapes. We are so chuffed to bits with our new garden, especially in this glorious sunshine! The whole of the Refined Landscapes experience was professional and seemless. The team always turned up on time, and communication about the different stages was clear. We will be contacting you again next year for our front garden, highly, highly recommended

    Anna Clifford

    I can not describe how happy I am with my beautiful newly landscaped garden. A five star service from start to finish. Great communication through the whole job and beyond. Professional, respectful and tidy. I now have an outstanding functional garden – one I am no longer embarrassed of! Worth every penny.

    Victoria Soanes

    After several months of housing and landscaping challenges, the thoughtful design, advice, attention to detail and quality that was shown by Jacob, Jim and John has been well worth it. Their work is not only a super designed garden space, but an extension of our kitchen, a real outside in feel and exactly what we wanted. A perfect combination and use of space to give us an amazing decking area for hosting.

    Adam Knight

    Our garden is now completely wheelchair accessible as they designed and built in various paved and patio ramps that are ideal for me. I cannot thank Jake, Joe and all of the guys that came here enough. Their hard work has made my life so much easier. I do and will continue to highly recommend them the take care of your garden landscaping needs. Thanks so much guys!

    Peter Goadby-Watt

    Jake and his team are very professional and extremely hardworking! From the initial quote and then the follow up scheduling and installation, I was listened to and my questions answered. Jake made suggestions to what I originally had in mind and was able to provide a visual explanation that I could understand and picture.

    Kirk Parker

    I can’t thank Jacob and his amazing team at refined landscapes enough – they have transformed my garden into a paradise. Managing the whole process from design, to logistics and implementing. Throughout their passion for delivering quality was evident and it was an absolute pleasure having the team around. I can’t recommend them enough – refined is the word, they are absolute quality.

    Ross Lawley

    Refined Landscapes were recommended to us by a neighbour and recently completed a garden refurbishment project for us near Hitchin Herts including large patio, new fencing, new lawn, decorative gravel areas and flower beds – the result is fantastic, very high quality work and it looks amazing , we are thrilled with the result of their hard work.

    J Carr

    Refined Landscapes truly deserves a 5-star rating! They were brilliant throughout the entire process. From their excellent communication to producing a detailed quote, their timely arrival, and efficient completion of the landscaping project, they provided a service that exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a top-notch landscaping service, look no further.

    Rahil Bhatt

    “We had refined landscapes come transform our overgrown garden into a lovely gravel driveway with a border of blocks to keep the gravel inside. We are so pleased with the results, it’s totally exceeded our expectations, Jake and the team went beyond what we asked for and really finished the job to a high standard. Jake and the team fitted us in over a weekend on fairly short notice due to us getting our drop kerb shortly, they were determined to produce what we wanted.
    Couldn’t recommend them enough. A nice group of people doing what they do best it seems, keep up the good work!”

    JOE H

    It was clear that refined landscapes were the company to use for redeveloping the garden. The whole process was incredibly smooth from start to finish and all of the team were amazingly thorough in the way they worked. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest and hard working company that will deliver on what they promise then look no further. Top company with a top service!!

    Kean Booth

    Jake and his team helped to transform our garden from being a bit dark and overgrown into a smart, light space. The service was efficient and affordable which was especially important as we were getting ready to sell. We had an asking price offer from a buyer who especially liked the garden! Well done Refined Landscapes.

    Stephen Wilson

    This is the easiest 5-star review I’m ever likely to give! Jake and the team at Refined Landscapes have transformed our garden and we’re absolutely delighted with the work they have done. The team itself were very professional, courteous and hardworking. Also, the suggestions from Jake during the initial consultation add a real touch of finesse and class that finishes everything off perfectly.

    Stephen Bradley

    Excellent service from initial quote, design through to landscaping work. Refined Landscapes have completely transformed our garden into a stunning outdoor space that we look forward to enjoying for years to come. Their ideas for the landscaping and plants were great and the guys who carried out the work were courteous and very conscientious. Overall, we could not be more pleased with the finished result.

    Mike B

    We used this company to design and implement an extension to our existing patio. They came up with some creative ideas and were very sensitive to our requirements. Throughout the work they kept us updated on what they had done and involved us closely in any decisions that had to be made. We are extremely pleased with the outcome.

    Colin Stringer

    Having come to the end of our extensive renovation project, we were left facing the garden which had taken a battering through the building works. From the initial consultation through to finishing touches, they have been friendly yet professional and filled me with absolute confidence that the work was being completed to the highest of standards.

    Lee Barnes

    What an amazing company! I had a feeling when I first met Jacob that he and his team would do a good job with our patio build, but I have to say they have actually exceeded our expectations in every respect.

    Although we had a patio design worked out, we decided to run this by Refined’s designer, Alex. Being mindful of our budget and desires, Alex made several changes which elevated the design to another level.

    Leo & Bridgette

    The Refined experience has been fabulous from initial contact and getting a quote, through to inspection of the result when finished. Alex did a great job capturing our needs, suggesting layout, stone, finishes etc., and providing a drawing of the design. Pete, Isaac and Rowan were very hardworking and polite, communicated well and discussed options, and paid lots of attention to detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers below to commonly asked Additional Services questions

Beyond core garden design and landscaping, we provide a curated selection of features and amenities to elevate your outdoor living. These include outbuildings (summer houses, garden rooms, studios), pergolas and structural shading, fully equipped outdoor kitchens, bespoke water features and ponds, children’s play areas, driveway works, irrigation systems, ambient lighting, and even spa-style installations like hot tubs, saunas and outdoor showers. Each element is conceived not as an afterthought, but as a seamless extension of your overarching garden vision, carefully integrated into layout, circulation, and sightlines.

From the start, every additional component is treated as part of the master design. We visualise how the new structure or feature will relate to existing hardscape, planting, architecture, and views. We coordinate with trusted specialist fabricators and engineers when necessary, oversee foundation and services work, and bring each piece in with the same level of craftsmanship, finish detail, and material accountability that defines all our projects. You’ll see consistent planning, schedules and quality control across every element—no “add-ons” that stick out.

Many features require detailed technical planning—water supply and drainage for kitchens or water features, electrical and lighting, structural support for pergolas or timber framing, irrigation, and loadings for decks or roofed sections. We design all infrastructural elements from first principles, assess existing site constraints (e.g. underground services), and execute the groundwork, wiring and plumbing with professionals and certification where needed. This ensures your addition is functional, safe, compliant with regulations, and future-proof.

Combining multiple premium elements clearly increases complexity, but we mitigate that with rigorous phasing and coordination. After design approval, we’ll issue a detailed schedule with critical paths for foundations, services, structure, landscaping finishes and commissioning. Where possible, we overlap tasks (for example lighting installation alongside paving) to reduce downtime. For clients combining a pergola, water feature and outdoor kitchen, for instance, the full turn-around might range from several weeks to a few months depending on scale, site access and weather—but you will always have a transparent timeline and milestone updates.

They can absolutely be stand-alone, additive phases to an existing garden. Many clients commission a new pergola, a lighting upgrade, or an outdoor kitchen after their garden is already built. Whether part of a comprehensive scheme or added later, we approach each project with the same meticulous planning—ensuring connections, drainage, finishes and style are consistent with what’s already in place. We’ll audit existing landscaping and propose how to tie in the new elements as though they’d always been there.

We believe in long-term satisfaction. After handover, we conduct an inspection with you to confirm all systems function (lighting, plumbing, irrigation). We supply operation and maintenance guides (for pumps, filters, lighting control, timber care or mechanical parts). We also offer follow-up servicing visits—especially in the first year—to ensure everything settles, to adjust system timings or fine-tune aesthetics, and to respond proactively to wear or weathering. And of course, if you wish in future to adapt or expand a feature (e.g. extend a pergola, upgrade lighting), we are here to assist.
