Hard Landscaping in Godalming, Camberley and Surrey
In much the same way as hardware and software have vital roles to play in the world of technology, hard landscaping and soft landscaping are equally important when it comes to establishing a detailed landscape gardening theme. At DR Bradbury, we cover the Guildford, Camberley, Godalming and Woking areas – and all parts of Surrey – as hard landscaping contractors. We have specialised in this particular field since as far back as 1959.
In much the same way as computer hardware is a constant, durable and permanent part of the system, hard landscaping is a constant, durable and permanent part of your Guildford, Camberley, Godalming or Woking garden. Hard components in your landscape gardening theme, which tend to be made of rock, stone, masonry or timber, are integrated in such a way as to tie in seamlessly with soft landscaping elements – like plants, trees and shrubs.
Hard landscaping plays as essential part in creating the impression of space, and ties in your landscape gardening theme with the outside world whilst still being unique to your home or business property. It takes immense skill to develop a functional hard landscaping theme and at DR Bradbury, we’ve been building those skills for close to six whole decades.
Importance of Hard Elements in a Landscape Gardening Design
Many of our Guildford, Camberley, Godalming, Woking and Surrey customers think of developing a hard landscaping theme once the soft landscaping elements are in place but we consider this to be something of a miscalculation. In fact, we think the hard elements should always be the very first to think about with any landscape gardening design.
Once a driveway, patio, wall or decking feature is in place, it becomes much easier to integrate the soft landscaping elements. We believe that hard landscaping elements give you something significant to build around, and it’s much easier for contractors like ourselves to develop a soft landscape gardening design once the hard elements are complete.
Also, the early integration of hard landscaping features resolves potential issues with drainage and optimises the amount of outdoor living space you have at your Guildford, Camberley, Godalming or Woking property. The hard landscape gardening theme also prevents erosion and provides the basis for kerb appeal and higher property value.
Typical hard landscaping elements include:
- Paving and Patios
- Driveways
- Brick Walls and Boundaries
- Garden Fencing
- Outdoor Buildings
- Garden Decking
- Terraced Areas
- Garden Rockeries
- Pergolas and Arbours
- Raised Beds and Planters

We have a family custom of working in horticulture and landscaping. My father began working as a landscape gardening professional in 1959, and I have worked in the same field from 1976. My father was one of the first to use butyl lining, which was introduced in the 1960s. I am still preserving ponds which were originally constructed by my father today.
