Range across all configurations, before regional adjustment
Patio prices are based on mid-range porcelain or natural stone paving (£30-£60/m²) including sub-base preparation and jointing. Decking prices assume composite decking (lower maintenance than timber); softwood timber decking costs roughly 20% less. Artificial grass includes ground preparation, weed membrane, sand sub-base, and installation. Full garden design includes a professional design plan, hard landscaping, planting, and turf or borders. Drainage may be needed on sloped or clay-heavy ground - budget an additional £500-£1,500 for drainage solutions. Skip hire for green waste and spoil removal typically adds £200-£400. Restricted access (materials carried through the house) can add 15-25% to labour costs.
