What we do in Poole
Driveways in resin bound, block paving, tarmac and gravel, plus artificial grass, walls and steps and garden rooms.
Patios in Poole
Porcelain terraces and sandstone patios, often stepped down a slope with new walls.
More on patios
Artificial grass in Poole
Artificial grass on the terraces of sloping Parkstone and Lilliput gardens, where mowing a steep bank is no fun.

Walls and steps in Poole
On sloping Poole plots the retaining walls do most of the work: each terrace held by a wall with drainage behind it, and steps between.

Garden rooms in Poole
Rooms and pool houses for the bigger harbour-side plots, tied into decks, glass balustrades and porcelain terraces.

Poole homes, from bungalows to big plots
Broadstone, Oakdale and Creekmoor have lots of post-war and 1970s houses with wide frontages, ideal for a full-width drive. Around the harbour, Lilliput, Canford Cliffs and Sandbanks, plots are bigger and jobs tend to be complete garden rebuilds with porcelain, glass and lighting.

Local know-how
Slopes and sand: building gardens in Poole
Poole is hilly in a way that catches people out. Plenty of gardens in Parkstone, Lilliput and Canford Cliffs fall steeply away from the house, so a usable garden often means terraces held up by retaining walls, with steps and drainage behind each level.
The ground is mostly free-draining sand, like Bournemouth. That makes permeable driveways easy to justify, but it means footings and edging need to be properly set, because loose sand gives way under load.

FAQs
Poole questions answered
Can you build terraces on a steep Poole garden?
Yes. We dig the slope into levels and build block retaining walls with drainage behind them, then finish them in render, stone or brick. Steps between the levels go in at the same time.
Which parts of Poole do you cover?
All of it, BH12 to BH18: Parkstone, Broadstone, Canford Cliffs, Lilliput, Oakdale, Creekmoor, Hamworthy and Sandbanks included.
Do retaining walls in Poole need planning permission?
Most garden retaining walls do not, but height limits apply next to a road and taller walls may need an engineer’s design. We tell you at the visit if yours does.
Planning and permissions in Poole
Poole is also covered by BCP Council, which handles planning and dropped kerbs. Large walls next to the road, and anything in a conservation area, may need permission. We check before we draw anything up.
The national rules are in our driveway planning permission guide, and typical prices are in the driveway cost guide.
