From groundwork to finish
One considered landscaping approach.What We Can Build
Garden landscaping in Dorridge
Most of what we build in Dorridge is about using the garden more: bigger terraces, usable levels and surfaces that look after themselves.
A terrace sized for a dining table, decking that deals with a change in level, a lawn that stays green through a wet winter and lighting cabled in while the ground is open — practical landscaping done once, properly.
Patios & paving
Large-format porcelain or natural stone terraces laid on a full sub-base with falls built in, sized for furniture rather than guessed.
Lawns & turfing
Ground levelled and drained before turf goes down, with crisp edges to paving and borders so the lawn looks intentional.
Complete garden landscaping
Terrace, decking, lawn, fencing, lighting and planting delivered as one coordinated build with one point of contact.
Artificial grass
A premium, pet-friendly artificial grass on a permeable base for family gardens that take daily use. See artificial grass.
Decking
Composite decking for raised platforms, split levels and seating beside a garden room — hidden fixings, no annual treatment. See composite decking.
Fencing & screening
Contemporary slatted screens, new boundary fencing and trellis for privacy around the terrace.
Drainage & groundworks
Falls, land drains and soakaways, plus excavation and sub-bases that stop a terrace sinking or a lawn puddling.
Steps, walls & changing levels
Steps, low walls and raised beds that make a split-level garden feel like one space.
Garden clearance & preparation
Old slabs, decking and overgrown planting removed and the ground prepared for the new layout.
Planting & borders
Borders and planting that soften the hard landscaping, chosen for low upkeep and year-round structure.

A Practical Starting Point
What kind of landscaping project do you have in mind?
You do not need measurements or a plan. A description of how you want to use the garden is enough to start.
Some Dorridge customers want a terrace big enough for the family and friends. Others have decking that has rotted, a lawn that turns to mud by November or a garden on two levels that has never been joined up.
Tell us what is not working and what you would like to do out there, and we will suggest a scope that fits the budget — and the order to do it in if it is being done in stages.
A patio that fits two chairs does not get used. A properly sized terrace for the sun and the table changes everything.
Timber decking rarely lasts. Composite on a proper frame solves the level change without the annual upkeep.
Clay and poor falls underneath. Drainage and a prepared base, or artificial grass where use is heavy.
Steps, low walls and a deck or terrace at the right height make both levels usable.
Terrace, deck, lawn, screening and lighting planned as one build so cabling and drainage go in once.
From Enquiry To Finished Garden
How a landscaping project works
The same order every time, so decisions happen on paper and nothing has to be built twice.

What you would like to build, the rough size of the garden and how we would get materials in.
We look at the garden
A visit to measure, check levels and drainage and see where the sun is when you would use the space.
Agree the scope
An itemised quotation for the agreed work, with options on materials where they help.
Prepare the site
Clearance, excavation, drainage and sub-bases, with cable routes for lighting laid while the ground is open.
Build
Terrace, decking, lawn, fencing, lighting and planting installed in sequence by our own team.
Finish & hand over
Jointing, edges, lighting tested and a final walk-through with aftercare notes.
Practical Landscaping. Properly Considered.
Why use Proud Gardens for landscaping in Dorridge?
An outdoor living space is only as good as what it sits on. A terrace that puddles or a deck on a weak frame looks fine for a season and then does not.
We build the base, the falls and the structure first, then choose finishes that will still look right in ten years.
We look below the surface
Sub-bases, falls and drainage are designed before the porcelain or decking is ordered.
Built around the way you use the garden
Where the table goes, where the sun is at six o’clock and how you get from the kitchen to the terrace decide the layout.
One overall garden
Terrace, deck, lawn, screening and lighting planned together so the garden reads as one space.
Design help when the project needs it
For a complete rethink rather than a better terrace, our garden design service can model it in 3D first.

Landscaping across Dorridge and nearby areas
Dorridge sits next to Knowle on the southern edge of Solihull borough, a short drive from our base in Hampton-in-Arden. That keeps surveys, deliveries and daily travel simple.
Newer homes in the village often have good side access; older plots can be tighter. We check at the survey and plan skips and deliveries around it.
If you are in or around Dorridge, send us a description of the job and a few photographs and we will tell you what the next step looks like.
Common Questions
Questions about landscaping in Dorridge
Porcelain or natural stone for the terrace?
Porcelain is dense, stain-resistant and consistent, which suits a contemporary terrace that gets heavy use. Natural stone has more character for older houses. We price whichever you prefer.
Can you replace our rotten timber decking?
Yes. We remove it, check the ground and levels, and rebuild in composite on a proper frame so it does not need treating every year.
Is artificial grass right for a family garden?
For a lawn that takes daily use from children and dogs, a quality artificial grass on a drained base stays clean and green year-round. Where it is mostly looked at, real turf is better value.
Can lighting be added as part of the landscaping?
Yes, and it is cheapest done while the ground is open. We lay cable routes during the build even if fittings come later.
Do we need a garden design first?
Not for a terrace, deck or lawn. If the whole layout is changing, a design first means the build goes in once and in the right order.
How long does a terrace and decking job take?
Typically days rather than weeks on site, depending on access and ground. A full outdoor living space with lawn and lighting is longer. A programme comes with the quotation.
