A&R Landscapes delivers landscape construction services across Cumbria for domestic, commercial, rural and estate sites. We undertake practical outdoor works that need sound preparation, strong workmanship and a clear understanding of how the finished space needs to perform. From first-stage site preparation to the final details, our focus is on creating outdoor spaces that are durable, usable and visually right for their setting.
Some jobs need more than labour on site. They need proper coordination, sequencing and planning from the outset. We can support full project management for landscaping services, helping organise site preparation, materials, drainage requirements, boundary work, access and final finishes so the whole project runs more smoothly.
Good outdoor work starts below the surface. We undertake practical civils-style groundwork and drainage work to support the long-term performance of a site. This can include excavation, levelling, trenching, drainage runs, pipe installation, backfilling and preparation for paving, fencing, retaining features and outdoor structures.
Some sites need clearing, opening up or preparing properly before construction can begin. We undertake de-vegetation and clearance works to make sites safer, easier to work on and ready for the next stage. This may include scrub removal, overgrowth clearance, vegetation management and associated preparation on neglected land.
Cobbling and sett-style finishes can add character, definition and durability to paths, driveways, entrances and feature areas.
As with all surface work, the strength of the finish depends on the preparation beneath it, so we approach cobbling with the same attention to sub-base, levels, edging and detailing as any other construction element.
Stone is one of the most durable and characterful materials you can use outdoors, especially across rural and traditional Cumbrian settings. We undertake bespoke stone work including dry stone walling, restoration, stone facing, edging and feature construction. Whether the goal is a new boundary, a repair to an older structure or a landscape feature with more presence and permanence, we focus on craftsmanship and a finish that suits the site.
Gabion baskets can offer a robust solution for retaining, reinforcement and landscape structure. They are useful where a site needs support around embankments, level changes or civil-style features, and they can also contribute to the overall appearance of the finished scheme when used well.
We carry out turfing and seeding works for gardens, open ground, reinstatement areas and wider construction projects. A good result depends on proper preparation, sensible levels and ground conditions that support long-term establishment, whether it be a neat domestic lawn or grass reinstatement .
Fencing is often a core part of a landscape construction project, helping define boundaries, improve privacy, provide security and support practical site use. We install fencing for gardens, estates, paddocks and commercial sites, tailoring the solution to the setting.
Alongside wider site works, we can undertake selected bespoke outdoor structures where a project needs something more tailored than an off-the-shelf solution.
This may include practical timber features and other buildings that complete the wider use of the space and tie into the rest of the project.
