Practical garden improvements designed to work with your property, not against it.
Garden Services in Cambridge
Ground Pro Driveways and Patio provides professional garden services across Cambridge and the surrounding areas. Our work focuses on structure, usability, and long-term stability rather than surface-level changes. Whether you need ground preparation, turfing, paved areas, or layout improvements, we start every project with a free site survey and inspection to understand the condition of the garden and how it is used.
Our garden services are often combined with driveway and patio projects, allowing us to deliver complete outdoor solutions with consistent workmanship and finish quality.
Complete Garden Services in Cambridge
Gardens require more than cosmetic changes. Poor ground conditions, uneven levels, and drainage issues often cause surfaces to fail over time. We address these problems at their source by preparing the ground correctly before any visible work begins.
Our garden services include:
- Free site survey and inspection
- Ground preparation and levelling
- Turfing and lawn installation
- Garden paving and paved areas
- Pathways and access routes
- Garden edging and borders
- Integration with patios and driveways
- Final inspection and aftercare guidance
By managing groundwork, layout, and finishing in one service, we ensure the garden remains practical and easy to maintain.
Ground Preparation and Garden Levelling
Proper ground preparation is the foundation of a reliable garden space. Uneven ground, poor soil structure, and inadequate drainage can lead to sinking lawns, pooling water, and unstable surfaces.
Our approach to ground preparation
- Existing soil condition
- Drainage and water flow
- Levels across the garden
- Access points and boundaries
We then carry out:
- Excavation where required
- Ground levelling to consistent heights
- Compaction to improve stability
- Preparation for turf, paving, or landscaping features
Turfing and Lawn Installation in Cambridge
A lawn should provide a clean, level surface that drains well and remains healthy. We install new lawns as part of garden renovations or standalone turfing projects.
Turf installation process
- Installation of fresh turf
- Removal of old turf or debris
- Soil preparation and grading
- Initial care guidance to support establishment
We focus on correct preparation to prevent common problems such as uneven growth, waterlogging, or patchy areas.
Garden Paving and Hardstanding Areas
Many Cambridge gardens benefit from paved areas that improve access and usability. We install practical paving solutions that complement patios and driveways.
Common garden paving applications
- Seating areas
- Walkways and paths
- Utility spaces
- Transitions between lawn and patio
We use durable paving materials and ensure correct levels and drainage to prevent water pooling and surface movement.
Garden Paths and Access Routes
Garden paths help define movement through the space and protect lawns from wear. We design and install paths that are practical, safe, and visually consistent with surrounding surfaces.
- Frequency of use
- Width and alignment
- Surface choice
- Connection to patios, driveways, and entrances
Paths are installed with proper edging and base preparation to maintain shape over time.
Garden Edging and Borders
Edging plays a functional role in garden design. It separates surfaces, prevents movement, and keeps layouts defined.
We install edging for:
- Lawns
- Paved areas
- Borders and planting zones
- Driveway and patio transitions
Strong edging reduces maintenance and helps preserve the overall structure of the garden.
Integrating Garden Services with Driveways and Patios
Many clients choose to combine garden services with driveway or patio installation. This approach creates a cohesive outdoor layout and avoids mismatched finishes.
Common combinations include:
- Lawn installation following patio construction
- Garden levelling to match new driveway heights
- Paved paths linking driveway, patio, and garden
- Defined borders between hard and soft landscaping
Managing these elements together ensures consistent levels, drainage, and finish quality.
Our Garden Services Process
We follow a structured process to deliver reliable results, similar to established garden contractors in Cambridge.
Garden Repairs and Improvements
Not all garden projects require a full rebuild. In some cases, targeted improvements can restore usability.
We assess:
- Uneven lawns
- Poor drainage areas
- Worn paths or paved sections
- Borders that have shifted or broken down
Where repairs are not practical, we explain replacement options clearly.
Ground Conditions in Cambridge Gardens
Soil conditions vary across Cambridge, with some areas prone to water retention. These conditions affect how gardens perform over time.
We account for local ground conditions when:
- Planning excavation depth
- Choosing base materials
- Designing drainage and surface falls
This reduces the risk of long-term settlement and drainage issues.
