HARD LANDSCAPING
Hard landscaping refers to any pathways, driveways, decking, fencing, patios, walls, steps or drainage systems on your property. While they might not always be the number one aesthetic concern when buying or designing a house or property, they can quickly become an issue if not installed or maintained to the requirements of your site or location.
Utiliko have decades of combined experience in designing and installing all aspects of hard landscaping, or domestic or commercial properties. We have built a wealth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of hard landscaping for our many customers across Cumbria and North Lancashire, and can bring this expertise to your next landscaping project.
We can work with a wide range of materials including brick, stone, concrete, tarmac or asphalt, metal, timber and more to create a design that is right for your property or project.

With decades of combined experience working on some of the largest infrastructure and drainage projects in the North West of England, we can work closely with your landscaper or architect to implement the hard landscaping elements that will not only add visual appeal to your property but also handle the practical aspects of drainage, utility supply such as electricity or mains water supply. This ‘ground up’, full service approach to hard landscaping keeps the entire project entirely in house, saving both time and money on renovating or installing the landscape elements you require.
Utiliko have built excellent relationships with local suppliers of building materials, giving us access to lower prices and an attractive range of local stone and building materials. This can bring enhanced visual appeal to your property when working with materials from the local area, particularly with such a wealth of fantastic stone, slate and timber available in the Lake District and North Lancashire. Using sympathetic design elements is a large part of working sustainably and producing stunning hard landscaping designs that will blend into the local environment and stand the test of time and weather.
