FAQ
Natural stone terrace questions
Answers to what homeowners in Bristol and Bath ask before building a terrace.
Which natural stone do you use for terraces?
We select stone to suit each garden and setting — York stone, sandstone and limestone are common choices across Bristol and Bath. We'll talk through options at your first visit.
Do you design the terrace as well as build it?
Yes. Garden design and landscape build sit within the same studio, so the terrace is drawn as part of the wider garden before we lay a single stone.
How long does a stone terrace take to build?
Timing depends on the size of the terrace and the stone chosen. We'll set out a build programme once the design is finalised.
Do you work on gardens in Bath as well as Bristol?
Yes, we design and build gardens across Bristol and Bath.
Can you include garden lighting with a terrace?
Yes, garden lighting can be designed alongside your terrace so the space works after dark too.
Do you provide a cost estimate before starting?
We provide a free quote after an initial visit, once we understand the size and stone for your terrace.
