πΏ MORE THAN LANDSCAPING β WE CREATE COMPLETE GARDENS πΏ
Have a look through this collection of photographs showing just some of the many gardens, patios, drives, lawns, fences, planting schemes and special features created by RD Landscapes Cumbria Ltd.
Every garden starts differently.
Some customers come to us with a completely blank canvas. Others have an older garden that has become tired, difficult to maintain or simply no longer suits the way they live. Some want a smart new patio or lawn, while others want us to redesign and rebuild the entire garden from the ground up.
Whatever the starting point, our aim is always the same β to create a garden that looks right for the property, works for the customer and is built properly to last.

Now providing quotations and taking bookings for 2027
One of the things we enjoy most about landscaping is that there is no need for every garden to look the same.
We create traditional gardens, contemporary gardens, country and cottage-style gardens, Japanese and Oriental-inspired gardens, naturalistic gardens and modern low-maintenance landscapes.
Your garden should reflect your own taste β not simply follow the latest fashion.
π‘ COMPLETE GARDEN TRANSFORMATIONS
For customers wanting a full makeover, our team can manage virtually the entire project, including:
β’ Site clearance and preparation
β’ Excavation and groundwork
β’ Garden design and layout
β’ Patios and paved areas
β’ Paths and steps
β’ Driveways
β’ Walls and retaining structures
β’ Drainage
β’ Fencing and gates
β’ Lawns
β’ Planting and borders
β’ Decorative stone and gravel
β’ Timber work and raised beds
β’ Ponds, waterfalls and feature areas
β’ Final detailing and finishing touches
This means the whole garden can be planned and constructed as one complete project rather than simply adding one feature at a time.
πͺ¨ BEAUTIFUL HARD LANDSCAPING
Good paving forms the backbone of many of our garden designs.
We work with a wide range of materials and styles, including:
β’ Natural sandstone
β’ Limestone
β’ Slate
β’ Block paving
β’ Contrasting borders and decorative edging
β’ Raised patios and terraces
β’ Garden paths and steps
β’ Entertaining and seating areas
β’ Retaining walls and garden walls
From a small patio outside the back door to a large multi-level garden with separate seating, dining and entertaining areas, every project can be individually designed.
π PONDS, WATERFALLS & GARDEN FEATURES
For customers wanting something a little more unusual, we can introduce features that give a garden real character.
Over the years we have created:
β’ Natural-style ponds
β’ Water gardens
β’ Cascading waterfalls
β’ Streams
β’ Pebble watercourses
β’ Dry river beds
β’ Rockeries and rock gardens
β’ Bridges and stepping-stone features
β’ Japanese-inspired areas
β’ Feature boulders and stonework
Water, stone and planting can completely change the atmosphere of a garden and turn an ordinary corner into a real focal point.
π³ FENCING, TIMBER WORK & PRIVACY
Fencing is not just something that marks the edge of a garden.
Chosen carefully, it can become an important part of the finished design.
We construct:
β’ Heavy-duty vertical-board fencing
β’ Contemporary horizontal fencing
β’ Feather-edge fencing
β’ Hit-and-miss screening
β’ Decorative privacy screens
β’ Garden gates
β’ Pergolas
β’ Decking
β’ Raised sleeper beds
β’ Timber retaining features
π± LAWNS, PLANTING & THE FINISHING TOUCHES
Once the main construction is complete, the softer landscaping brings everything together.
We can provide:
β’ New natural lawns
β’ Artificial grass
β’ Lawn preparation and renovation
β’ Trees and specimen plants
β’ Flowering shrubs
β’ Dwarf conifers
β’ Evergreen planting
β’ Cottage-style borders
β’ Architectural planting
β’ Low-maintenance schemes
β’ Seasonal colour
The right plants can soften paving, provide privacy, introduce colour and create interest throughout the year.
πͺ΄ LOW-MAINTENANCE DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN PLAIN
Many of our customers now want gardens that look attractive without demanding hours of work every week.
Decorative gravel, slate chippings, cobbles, boulders, feature stones, ornamental grasses, shrubs and carefully chosen evergreen plants can all be combined to create a garden that is both practical and interesting.
And if you already have a garden you love but it simply needs bringing back under control, we can also undertake garden improvement, maintenance, pruning, lawn care and border renovation work.
β¨ SO WHAT COULD WE DO WITH YOUR GARDEN?
It might only need one area improving.
It might need a new patio, lawn or fence.
Or it might be time to remove everything and start again with a completely new design.
Have a good look through the photographs. They cover many different styles, materials and types of landscaping carried out by our team over the years β and hopefully they will give you a few ideas for what could be possible in your own garden.
From the first excavation to the final plant going into the ground, we can take care of the complete transformation.
