Landscapers in Weymouth
We lay driveways and patios and rebuild gardens in Weymouth, Portland and the villages around them. Coastal weather and heavy ground are part of the job here, so we build for both.

What we do
What we do in Weymouth
Driveways in resin bound, block paving, tarmac and gravel, plus artificial grass, walls and steps and garden rooms.

Patios with proper falls and drainage, so rain off the sea runs away from the house.

Artificial grass in Weymouth
A practical answer to lawns that turn to mud on Weymouth clay. We dig deeper and add drainage under the base so it doesn't pond.
More on artificial grass
Walls and steps in Weymouth
Walls and steps built to stand up to wet clay and coastal wind, with footings dug down to firm ground.

Garden rooms in Weymouth
Garden rooms on a raised block plinth so damp clay never reaches the timber, with fixings rated for the sea wind.

Clay ground and coastal weather
A lot of the ground around Weymouth is clay. It holds water after rain and moves as it dries out, so a thin sub-base will crack and sink. We dig deeper here, lay a membrane and make sure surface water has somewhere to go, either a permeable surface or a drain.
The wind matters too. Fence posts are set deeper and in concrete, and we pick fence styles that let some wind through rather than acting like a sail.
Planning and permissions in Weymouth
Weymouth and Portland are covered by Dorset Council. Parts of the town centre and seafront are conservation areas, and the Jurassic Coast setting brings extra care near the shore, so we check before quoting front-of-house work.
The national rules are in our driveway planning permission guide, and typical prices are in the driveway cost guide.
Homes in Weymouth
Weymouth and Portland homes
Weymouth has terraces and guest houses near the seafront, larger family homes in Preston and Upwey, and newer estates at Littlemoor and Chickerell. On Portland, stone houses and exposed plots call for tough materials and solid fixings.

FAQs
Weymouth questions answered
Does the clay around Weymouth affect a new driveway?
Yes. Clay holds water and moves, so we dig out deeper, lay a geotextile membrane and build a thicker sub-base. Drainage is planned in from the start.
Do you cover Portland?
Yes, Portland and the villages round Weymouth, including Upwey, Preston, Wyke Regis, Chickerell and Littlemoor.
What fencing stands up to the wind on the coast?
Closeboard or slatted fencing on concrete posts set deep in concrete. Slatted styles let some wind through, which takes load off the posts.
