Your garden is more than just an outdoor space — it’s a reflection of your lifestyle and personality. Whether you’re looking to modernise an outdated garden, fix uneven surfaces, or completely redesign your landscape, a professional garden renovation can transform your outdoor area into a space you’ll love year-round.
At In-Hire Landscaping, we specialise in garden renovation and re-landscaping services in London, helping homeowners and businesses breathe new life into tired outdoor spaces.
This ultimate guide will walk you through everything you need to know about renovating and re-landscaping your garden — from planning and design to execution and maintenance.
🌱 What Is Garden Renovation and Re-Landscaping?
Garden renovation involves refreshing or redesigning your existing landscape, while re-landscaping often means a complete transformation — changing the structure, layout, and materials of your outdoor space.
This could include:
-
Replacing old turf or paving
-
Redesigning planting schemes
-
Installing new patios, decks, or garden paths
-
Adding lighting, water features, or outdoor seating
-
Leveling uneven ground or improving drainage
At In-Hire Landscaping, our experts assess your garden’s current condition and create a bespoke design plan to enhance beauty, function, and sustainability.
🪴 Step 1: Assess Your Garden and Define Your Goals
Before starting a renovation, take time to analyse your garden’s strengths and weaknesses.
Ask yourself:
-
What do I want to achieve? (More space, better layout, modern look, etc.)
-
Which areas need improvement? (Lawn, fencing, patio, lighting?)
-
How much maintenance am I willing to do?
Once your goals are clear, our landscape designers at In-Hire can help you create a custom plan that fits your budget, lifestyle, and property style.
🌿 Step 2: Create a New Garden Design Plan
The key to a successful garden renovation is a well-thought-out design. A professional landscaping plan ensures that every element — from paving to planting — complements each other and functions perfectly.
Our garden designers in London use advanced tools to visualise your garden layout, considering elements like:
-
Sunlight exposure
-
Drainage systems
-
Walkways and seating zones
-
Balance of hard and soft landscaping
Pro Tip: Keep a balance between greenery (soft landscaping) and structures like patios or decking (hard landscaping) for a cohesive, modern look.
🪵 Step 3: Choose Quality Materials and Plants
Material selection plays a huge role in the look and durability of your new garden.
Hard Landscaping Materials:
-
Porcelain or sandstone paving for elegant patios
-
Timber or composite decking for modern outdoor spaces
-
Natural stone or brick edging for character and definition
Soft Landscaping Choices:
-
Low-maintenance turf or artificial grass
-
Native plants suited to the UK climate
-
Decorative shrubs and seasonal flowers
At In-Hire Landscaping, we only use high-quality, sustainable materials to ensure your garden renovation not only looks beautiful but also lasts for years.
🌺 Step 4: Add Modern Features and Functionality
To make your garden both practical and inviting, consider adding modern outdoor features such as:
-
Water features for a calming touch
-
Outdoor lighting to enhance safety and ambience
-
Built-in seating or fire pits for entertaining
-
Raised planters for easy maintenance
-
Irrigation systems for efficient watering
Our re-landscaping specialists in London can design and install these features seamlessly, blending style with everyday usability.
💡 Step 5: Focus on Drainage and Lawn Care
One of the most overlooked aspects of garden renovation is drainage. Poor drainage can cause flooding, dead patches, and uneven surfaces.
We assess your soil type and slope before re-landscaping to ensure effective water flow and soil health. Our experts also provide lawn installation and turf replacement services, leaving your garden green, level, and picture-perfect.
🌸 Step 6: Maintain Your New Landscape
Once your renovation is complete, regular maintenance is key to keeping your garden looking pristine.
In-Hire Landscaping offers ongoing garden maintenance services, including:
-
Lawn mowing and edging
-
Seasonal pruning and planting
-
Leaf clearing
-
Fertilising and weed control
-
Irrigation system checks
This ensures your investment stays beautiful and functional throughout the year.
