Hard Landscaping in Northamptonshire
At Hamson's Landscaping, we create durable, beautifully finished hard landscaping that forms the backbone of your outdoor space. From patios and pathways to driveways and garden structures, we design and build features that look great and perform for years across the wider Northamptonshire area.
Thoughtful Design, Expert Construction
Every project starts with a detailed site visit and consultation. We look at how you use your garden, what you want to achieve, and any practical issues such as access, drainage, and existing ground conditions. From there, we put together a design that balances appearance, practicality, and budget.
All work is carried out by our in-house team – we don’t use subcontractors. The same experienced landscapers who start your project will see it through to completion, ensuring consistent workmanship, clear communication, and full accountability from day one.
Quality Materials for Long-Lasting Results
We work with a wide range of premium materials to suit different styles, properties, and budgets, including:
- Natural stone – York stone, Indian sandstone, limestone, slate, and granite for characterful, timeless patios and paths
- Block paving – Hard-wearing and versatile, ideal for driveways, patios, and pathways in a variety of colours and laying patterns
- Porcelain paving – Modern, low-maintenance, and frost-resistant tiles for a sleek contemporary finish
- Resin-bound surfaces – Smooth, permeable, and available in many aggregate blends, perfect for driveways and paths
- Composite and timber decking – Warm, inviting surfaces that extend your living space outdoors
- Brick and rendered blockwork – For walls, raised beds, steps, and boundaries that complement your home
We source from trusted suppliers and can advise on the best options for your soil type, usage, and preferred look.
Built on Solid Foundations
The difference between professional hard landscaping and a quick fix is what you can’t see. Proper excavation, sub-base installation, compaction, and drainage are essential to prevent movement, cracking, and water damage.
Northamptonshire has a mix of clay, limestone, and sandy soils, often within the same garden. We tailor our groundwork to your specific site, ensuring your patio, driveway, or wall is built on a stable, well-prepared base designed to last.
Drainage and Water Management
Standing water, waterlogged lawns, and damp walls are common problems in local gardens and are almost always linked to poor drainage. We integrate drainage into every hard landscaping project as standard, using solutions such as:
- Channel drains and linear drainage
- Soakaways and underground drainage runs
- Permeable paving and resin-bound surfaces
If you already have drainage issues, we can design a targeted solution as part of your new landscaping.
Projects of Every Scale
We take on everything from small, practical improvements to full garden transformations, including:
- New patios and entertaining areas
- Complete front and rear garden redesigns
- Bespoke driveways in block, resin, or mixed materials
- Retaining walls, terracing, and steps for sloping gardens
- Garden rooms, pergolas, and outdoor living spaces
- Fencing, gates, and boundary walls
Whatever the size of your project, we apply the same attention to detail and commitment to quality.
Local to Northamptonshire
We work throughout Northamptonshire, including Northampton, Kettering, Wellingborough, Corby, Daventry, Towcester, Brackley, and surrounding villages. Our local experience means we understand typical soil conditions, planning considerations, and the architectural styles common to the area.
