For comprehensive garden makeovers it makes sense to have your landscape garden designed first. It will be a reasonable investment so it is important for you to know what you are aiming for and what this will look like. A landscape design also provide our landscapers with a precise plan of what you want where and also provides a valuable project map as we will know how to prioritise and order the work to get the best results with minimal disruption. Not all landscaping work will require a garden design plan especially if you already know exactly what you want where. These become most useful for new home owners who have a blank canvas and allows initial concepts to be adjusted on paper which is much more cost effective than changing plans during the build!
We offer all aspects of hard landscaping including contemporary, rustic styles and even Japanese style gardens. Our contemporary hard landscaping options would include the inclusion of materials such as Italian porcelain paving, an artificial lawn, composite decking, and perhaps a resin bound patio. For sloping gardens ground excavation an installation of a retaining wall can add massive character whilst these hard landscaping components provide an extremely low maintenance garden.
Rustic style will include more products such as timber decking, sandstone or slate patios and paving and the use of timber sleepers for borders and raised beds.
As landscape gardeners we install many patios as part of our of our landscaping services and often installing a new or replacement patio is one of the most common stand alone landscaping projects we carry out. Depending on the size and slope of the ground this can be a simple or quite a major projects depending on how much earth needs moving or 'removing' in order to create a flat area big enough for the patio area you want.
A very common accompaniment to a new patio will be steps taking you to the higher level, which will generally be the only gap in the retaining wall that has been constructed to support the higher level of ground that has been left following excavation. Whilst this isn't the cheapest of activities the finished results from multi-level gardens provides an exceptional landscape as different levels all for variety and versatility within your garden which is why many people will search for a landscaper to carry out a patio installation.
A good quality garden fence provides the background and border to a landscape project. There are so many different fences available these days you may struggle to decide on which to go for but as with anything budget will also play a part. The type of fencing or rather than material for garden fences that we have seen grow the most in recent years is composite fencing. It's low maintenance and is in keeping with a contemporary garden which has been designed to minimise maintenance and maximise on visual impact. There are different types available and most come with their own matching fence posts but there are also some that can fit into existing concrete posts. These provide a good option to have a low maintenance fence whilst keeping costs down.
Wooden fences still remain the most common but slatted, hit and miss and the use of trellis' can provide an excellent looking fence which can blend in well with trees, plants and shrubs.
Decking is following fencing with more and more composite decking being installed compared to a few years ago. Wooden decking just like wooden fence still continues to be the most common deck option simply due to cost but where budget allows most people will want the low maintenance decking that composite deck boards provide.
A full composite decking system will cost quite a bit more than a d timber one due to the use of aluminium and solid composite framing and the use of special clips to attach the boards. However, a good compromise on price is to use a timber frame and fit composite boards on top of that. Proper timber joists could last up to 20 years and in a number of instances if your existing decking structure is in a strong we can install composite boards on that for a cheap composite decking solution. Simply get in touch to arrange a survey.
It's not surprising that artificial grass is frequently specified as part of a landscape design to maintain a contemporary low maintenance garden that will look good for most of the year rather than just spring and summer.
Whilst there can be arguments both for and against the replacement of real grass for a synthetic one we take the view that it should be up to the homeowner to decide on what they want for their garden.
Artificial grass can make a big positive lifestyle change especially for dog owners and we've never replaced a real lawn for a complete artificial lawn. There are always borders for plants, trees and shrubs to encourage bee, bird and insect life and not having to mow lawn provides gardens more time to focus on this aspect of their garden rather than a mundanely mowing a lawn.
For a complete garden transitions as well hard landscaping we will also provide a soft landscaping service too, so that your garden is almost the finished article. We say 'almost' as we know that as a garden is a leaving entity as plants, shrubs and trees grow you may decide that you want to move some plants around as they mature and you want certain new plants you buy in certain locations.
We will help with our knowledge of trees and shrubs and we can lay new turf as part of our soft scaping service too.
Whether you simply have issues with your garden getting waterlogged in places or simply want to plan your garden maintenance at the initial stage of a full landscaping project we can help create an irrigation platform for you plants or ensure that if you have poor drainage that we provide garden drainage solutions in Hinckley that will allow you to plant certain plants in certain areas of your garden and not worry about them drowning following a spell of wet weather.
If your garden is predominantly on clay soil you are more likely to have drainage issues and if you have noticed puddles on your lawn taking a long time to go away this will be a good indicator that a new garden drainage system would be advisable.
With more people appreciating and enjoying outdoor space and nature in their gardens more people are looking to include a permanent garden structure of some sort. The most popular being wooden gazebos, pergolas and arbours. We can make any of these structures to suit your requirements, so you have total flexibility on the size, positioning and style you want. These structure provide an excellent visual aspect to a garden as well as providing a shelter under which a bench or chars can be placed to enjoy your garden.
They can also provide the means for climbers to envelope the structure to blend into your garden if that is the look you are after
As well as back gardens our landscaping also extends to front gardens. Many front gardens will have a driveway and this is part of your front garden's landscape. Depending on the size and shape of your front garden a driveway can be the most prominent aspect of your property so it makes sense for this to have kerb appeal.
We pride ourselves on being able to offer any type of driveway including tarmac, gravel, imprinted concrete, block paving, cobbles and resin. We have an eye for which driveway type may visually work well in your garden and by being able to offer these alternatives we won't push you down any particular style unless it's what you want and have budgeted for.
We have more than 40 years combined experience in creating beautiful landscape gardens.
We focus on landscaping projects since that is our passion. We treat every job as though it is our own garden and have been selected by major housebuilders to manage the landscaping for their show homes throughout Hinckley.
Insure to £1,000,000 we meet the highest local and regional standards, and use only certified products.
With our ability to provide and install so many options our versatility means we can work closely with your to achieve the look you want with the budget you've allocated.
Here at DNA Landscapes , we pride ourselves on offering comprehensive customer service.

We aim for your landscape project to run smoothly and be signed off on time and within budget.
A creative hardscaping theme with a hint of the Mediterranean, using modern porcelains, shaded
seating areas, decorative gravels and drought-tolerant plants such as blue fescue and the torbay
palm are our most popular landscape styles.
Here at DNA Landscapes we cover a wide variety of landscaping projects, but the most common
hardscaping enquiries are for a contemporary, low maintenance garden. Using porcelain and
composite products which while very hard wearing and durable, produce fresh, clean lines requiringvery little maintenance.
My personal favourite is the quintessential English courtyard garden. Using Yorkstone natural paving
for the main seating area, bordered with reclaimed brick planters filled with plants inviting the pollinators into the space, such as snapdragons, sunflowers and the classic daisy (a favourite of my
daughters) winding clay pavers paths which invite you past bold water features to a secret seating
area where nature can be taken in and enjoyed.
For privacy hedges the classic English yew tree or the black Thorne (with the possibility of making
your own sloe gin using the black-purple fruits)
A crab apple tree offers a good source of early pollen from its pink/white blossom and your chance to chance your arm at a crab apple jelly, perfect with slow roast pork.
For planters, I would look to hardy flowering perennials such as hydrangea or geraniums mixed with seasonal bedding plants to give an immediate show of colour.
Many full garden landscaping projects will involve installing some paving or patio are with a pathway. This often will come with installing a retaining wall and moving of earth leading to the fitting or new plant bedding areas. As far as stand alone landscaping jobs we do many garden fences and artificial grass installations too.
We enjoy every aspect of our work but fi we were going to pick:
Ian loves carrying out patio and paving jobs. Darren really enjoys manufuring and installing wooden garden structures and fencing. Myself and Steph enjoy the design aspects and then making it all fall into place.
Porcelain paving, grey in particular, is being requested the most followed by Indian stone.
Yes they certainly are. Any wood garden structure can add charm and practicality to a garden. The key is to ensure you have the right size garden structure, positioned in the right place.
As landscape gardeners in Hinckley we have shown above that we provide a wide variety or services and we have experts within our team to ensure each discipline is covered off as good as any individual contractor who may just focus on driveways, patios, artificial grass, decking or fencing - so if you simply need a new fence for your garden rather than a full garden landscaping project - that's fine we're happy to come and do that for you and if you want to discuss some of your garden plans for the future we're happy to listen and possibly chip in with some suggestions too.

“We have hired Andy a couple of times now to carry out work on our Garden and his Landscaping skills are second to none.
Really helped us in designing what we wanted for the garden and the best way to get it looking exactly the way we wanted.
The work carried out is to a very high standard and communication along the way until the work is completed is fantastic.
Andy and his team are very hard working and deliver to the expected standard.
Would more than happy to use or recommend Andy and his team for any Landscaping Services in the future.”
Dave Jones
“We chose Andy Lyden and his team following a recommendation from a friend of ours. After meeting Andy and discussing our project, we had no hesitation in booking him for our job.
It was clear to us that Andy had a great deal of civil engineering and landscaping experience and really understood what we wanted. He gave us some great advice too – about material choices and about where and how to save some money on what was a large-scale block paving project.
Andy set out his costs and his project plan in a clear and understandable way and started our job exactly on time. He arrived on time every day and his team were courteous, tidy and respectful of our neighbours – all of which was important to us. He delivered our project exactly on time and at the cost that we had agreed – no hidden extra’s, no tricks of the trade, just a great job at a fair price.
And we couldn’t be happier with the finished job! It looks fabulous! Better than we could ever have hoped for! Thank you, Andy!
We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Andy Lyden and his team of landscaping contractors at
DNA Landscapes.”
Nic Rae
“We decided to contact DNA Landscaping on Facebook as they had been recommended by our friends so we gave Andy a call as we wanted our garden doing for the summer and wanted a local tradesman. Andy came round the house and we went through what we wanted and he said no problem, actually beating other quotes that we had. Andy kept in constant communication throughout the work, checking in with us to make sure all the materials and layout was what we wanted. Everything was done to the highest quality, from removing the existing grass and tiles to laying down the foundations, artificial grass and porcelain tiles. Andy and his team were hardworking and made sure all the rubbish was removed at the end. I would definitely use DNA Landscapes again. Absolute 5 start job, thanks!!“
Kriss Williams
“We used Andy and his team last spring to totally revamp our garden.
We provided Andy with a plan and he was very thorough in his measuring and planning before the work began. Communicating clearly with us as required.
Andy and his team worked extremely hard, even in the snow; remained faithful to our plan and produced work to a high standard.
The work was competitively priced and we are really pleased with the end result. We have had lots of complements about our garden and definitely recommend Andy to others.”
Neil and Linda
“Andy and co did our driveway and back garden.
Our drive is huge and they did the most amazing job. Always turned up on time, more importantly kept excellent communication before, during and after. Very reliable, genuine and honest lads who were an absolute pleasure to work with. Very tidy workers too. It was worth the wait too. Cannot recommended this company enough.”
Joanna Jones
“During lockdown 2020, our garden was looking really tired and we thought about giving it a look over. We contacted Andy (D&A Landscape). He was very patient, visiting us several times to give us valuable ideas. He and his team started work in Feb 2021 and the work was fantastic. His team even adapted when we decided to add a gazebo to the garden. He coordinated work with our electrician so our garden can have the look and feel we wanted. Overall, we are well pleased with the work. All the members of the team are very nice and we never felt uncomfortable. I can fully recommend Andy and his landscaping team. In fact, we will be calling him when we have new work to be done.”
