    Outstanding Transformation and Attention to Detail

    1st Advanced Landscapes recently completed a patio and driveway project, and the results have been outstanding. The quality of workmanship and overall finish have completely transformed the outdoor space and driveway. What really stood out was the attention to detail throughout the project, from the patio edging to the carefully shaped curves of the wall and lawn border. Every element has been finished to a very high standard. The team were extremely professional, helpful and polite - we would highly recommend them.

    New patio and garden paths

    1st Advanced Landscapes have been amazing since our first contact with them when we wanted to redo our patio and garden paths. Richard came out 2-3 times initially to discuss the designs and drainage issues and then we were sent full and complete quotes by Allison with all the options of different stones and bricks to choose. Mike and Andy completed the project for us over a period of 8 weeks and we could not have been more impressed with their work ethic and attention to detail. They were absolute perfectionists with every aspect of the job. We cannot recommend this company highly enough.

    Soakaway, driveway and block paving

    Extremely happy with the service provided, right from the first visit where Richard listened to our initial ideas and suggested a practical design. The on-site team of George and Craig were cheerful, punctual and considerate, and we were consistently impressed with their attention to detail, hard work and professionalism. Communication from everyone was excellent, with especial thanks to Allison for timely updates and prompt replies to emails. Overall, we have rarely felt quite so confident in a company from the outset and we have no hesitation in recommending them.

    Garden and Patio Landscaping

    We were recommended to use this local business by a neighbour. The portfolio of works completed is very impressive. After a good discussion about options we agreed the work scope. The work was carried out in a very professional and efficient way. The guys on the project were all very pleasant , hard working and informative. They took into account impact on access to the house to make it as easy for us as possible. The overall quality of product and workmanship all excellent. Would definitely recommend this company.

    Friendly, professional and efficient

    Another successful job. Very happy with the quality of the work. The team (Mike, Louis, Craig) with help from George, had to work in the appalling weather we just had and came up trumps. Friendly, professional and efficient. Need I say more?

    Dear Stephen, Thank you for selecting us again to do another landscaping project for you. Our 1st completed large-scale project of 2026! Your decision on having York Stone for your new patio terrace was the right one; it looks fabulous! We're delighted you're so pleased with the team and the quality of the work they have delivered.

Hello and welcome to 1st Advanced Landscapes Ltd. Richard started the business in 2012 shortly after we moved to Hindhead, though his experience in landscaping dates back to his post-school days in Dorset.


I started supporting the business in 2017 after taking a career break to raise our family.


Previously, I worked in a number of corporate finance & accountancy roles.


Our team are highly skilled landscaping technicians who competently undertake and professionally deliver large, technical projects in all areas of hard and soft landscaping:


  • Full garden re-design
  • Driveways - block paved & stone
  • Patios - porcelain & sandstone
  • Natural stone retaining walls & brickwork
  • Decking - composite & hardwood & softwood
  • Drainage - new soakaways, pipework, ACO drainage.
  • Ponds & pergolas, bases & fencing.
  • Garden levelling and new lawns.
  • Outdoor kitchens/dining/seating, fire pits.


Our two team leaders, Mike and George, have been with us 12 and 7 years respectively.


Their meticulous attention to detail, work ethic, and commitment to every project, large or small, is hard to beat.


You won't find many landscapers willing to work to 8pm on a Saturday night when required; they will willingly go the extra mile on every one of our projects.


As a business, we are VAT registered, have our public & employer liability insurance underwritten by AXA, and guarantee our own workmanship for 5 years.


We cover Haslemere & Godalming, Farnham & Alton, Liphook & Petersfield, Hindhead, Grayshott & Headley, and all local surrounding villages.


Our visits and quotations are free and without obligation.


We do get booked up in advance - it is never too early to start planning your garden project with us.


Best wishes

Allison
