Landscaping in Bannerbrook Park
Gardens are won and lost underground. A patio on a proper sub-base, a drive with real edge restraints and a wall with drainage behind it all look the same on day one and completely different after three winters.

Working in Bannerbrook Park
Bannerbrook Park lies 3.9 miles west of Coventry city centre.
Within walking distance you will find Spar and Eastern Green Junior School, and we work on properties throughout the streets around them.
The nearest areas we also cover are Eastern Green (0.7 miles) and Tile Hill (1.1 miles), so work in Bannerbrook Park sits inside the same run of the city.
- Spar
- Eastern Green Junior School
- St Andrew's Church of England Infant School
- St Andrews
- Eastern Green Recreation Ground
- A gutter or downpipe discharging onto new paving will undo it. Check the drainage first.
- Boundary ownership is set by the title plan, not by which side the fence rails face.
- Artificial grass is only as flat as the screeded base beneath it.
- Patios must finish at least 150mm below the damp-proof course and fall away from the house.
- Deep beds need far less work than narrow borders, because planting closes over the soil.
The work itself, in plain terms
What we build around Spar and the rest of Bannerbrook Park, from driveways to garden walls.
Patios & paving
Patios laid on a full mortar bed over a properly compacted sub-base, with the fall running away from the house.
Driveways
Driveways in permeable block paving, resin-bound or tarmac, with the surfacing rules on drainage satisfied by design.
Garden & retaining walls
Retaining and decorative walling, with land drains and weep holes behind anything holding back ground.
Fencing & gates
Fencing and gates with concrete posts and gravel boards where longevity matters, timber where appearance does.
Artificial grass
Artificial turf for shaded or heavily used gardens where real grass will not establish, installed on a screeded sub-base.
Garden clearance
Clearing overgrown gardens back to a usable state, with the waste removed under proper duty of care.
Built around how you own the property
Homeowners
Work done once and properly, with the base and the drainage right before anything visible goes down.
Landlords
Durable surfaces and sound boundaries, priced separately from anything cosmetic.
New-build & bare plots
Dealing with the compaction first, because nothing planted into rolled subsoil will thrive.
The jobs that start with a phone call
- 01
A soakaway that never worked, dug into clay that will not accept water.
- 02
A block drive with ruts where the wheels sit and the edges dropping away, from too little sub-base and no edge restraint.
- 03
A fence that came down in the first gale, with new panels screwed to posts that had already rotted at ground level.
- 04
A garden under years of bramble, where nobody is sure where the boundary runs.
- 05
Steps that have settled unevenly, laid on made ground that was never compacted.
- 06
A raised bed built hard against the house, bridging the damp-proof course with wet soil.
What we check on a property in Bannerbrook Park
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on landscaping work in Bannerbrook Park, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Height of the damp-proof course
Any surface against the house must finish at least 150mm below the damp-proof course. We measure it at survey, because getting this wrong creates internal damp that looks like a building fault.
Spoil volume and disposal
We calculate how much material is coming out and how it leaves site. It is a large, legitimate part of the cost and it should be in the quote, not a surprise.
Drainage behind retaining structures
We plan the drainage layer, land drain and weep holes before the wall goes up. Water pressure is what destroys retaining walls, and it cannot be added afterwards.
Lighting and power
If lighting or an outdoor socket might be wanted later, ducting goes in while the ground is open. Adding it afterwards means digging up a finished surface.
Retaining height and what is above
How much ground a wall holds back, and whether anything bears on the ground above it, determines whether it needs designing rather than simply building.
Services under the garden
Water, gas, electricity and drainage runs are often shallower in gardens than people expect. We identify routes before excavating rather than finding them with a spade.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Have you worked around Spar?
Spar is in the part of Bannerbrook Park we cover, and landscaping work there is routine for us. Every quote still starts with a survey of the actual property, because no two are the same even on one street.
Are you actually local to Bannerbrook Park?
Yes. Bannerbrook Park is around 3.9 miles west of the centre of Coventry, well within the area we work in every week. We are not a national firm subcontracting the job out.
When does a garden wall need to be a retaining wall?
As soon as it is holding back ground on one side. A free-standing garden wall only has to carry its own weight and the wind; a retaining wall is resisting the pressure of soil and the water in it, which is a far greater force. Retaining walls need adequate foundations, the right thickness, often reinforcement, and — critically — drainage behind them. Over about a metre, or where anything is above, it warrants proper design.
How high can a fence be?
In England, generally up to two metres without planning permission, dropping to one metre where the boundary adjoins a highway used by vehicles, including a front garden fence facing the road. Different rules can apply to listed buildings and some conservation areas. If a fence is going in near a road, the one metre limit is the one that catches people out.
What happens to the waste?
It is removed and disposed of legally, and it is a genuine part of the cost that people underestimate. Excavating a patio produces several tonnes of spoil. We carry waste under the proper duty of care, and if you want the detail of where it goes we will tell you — fly-tipped garden waste still traces back to the property it came from.
Do you work for landlords and commercial clients?
Yes. For rental property the usual brief is low-maintenance and durable rather than ornamental — hard surfacing, sound boundaries and nothing that needs a tenant to look after it. For commercial premises we handle car parking areas, access paths and boundary treatments, working around opening hours where needed.
What about Japanese knotweed?
If it is present, that changes things. It is not something to dig out or put in a skip — it spreads from tiny fragments and is classed as controlled waste, so cutting or moving it incorrectly makes the problem larger and can create a legal liability. It needs identifying properly and a specialist treatment or removal plan. We will tell you if we think we are looking at it rather than clearing around it.
