Patio Installation

Artificial Grass / Astro Turf
£800 – £4,000+Prices depend on area size and the quality of turf specified. We include full ground preparation: old turf removed, weed membrane laid, compacted sub-base installed. A standard 20m² Cardiff back garden typically costs £1,200–£2,500 supplied and fitted.
Fencing
£80 – £180 per panelCloseboard and panel fencing are the most common requests. Price per panel includes posts, gravel boards and fitting. Concrete posts cost a little more but outlast timber in South Wales's wet climate. A typical garden with 8–10 panels runs to £900–£1,500.
Decking
£1,200 – £6,000+Timber decking is the more affordable option; composite decking costs more upfront but requires less maintenance. Size, access and whether steps or railings are needed all affect the price. A basic 15m² deck in Cardiff typically costs £1,500–£3,000.
Garden Clearance & Landscaping
£300 – £3,000+One-off clearances for overgrown gardens start from around £300 depending on size and how much is being removed. Full landscaping including turfing, planting, edging and raised beds varies widely based on scope — we'll always visit and quote accurately before starting.
Turfing
£8 – £15 per m²Includes ground preparation, soil improvement, laying and first watering. Most residential turfing jobs in Cardiff sit in the £600–£2,000 range. Spring and early autumn are the best times to turf in South Wales, though we lay turf year-round.
What affects the price most?
Based on the jobs we quote across South Wales, groundwork is the single biggest variable. A garden that needs significant levelling, old concrete broken out, or poor drainage addressed will cost more than a straightforward like-for-like replacement. We always explain what's included in our quotes so there are no surprises.
