Landscaper or Builder?

[JtB]

There's a drainage ditch running along the boundary of my front garden with my driveway crossing over it into the garden. I'm now thinking of getting the driveway across the drainage ditch widened, a retaining wall built along the length of the drainage ditch and the embankment levelled. Left unchecked there's a possibility that erosion of the embankment may eventually affect the foundations of my garage (which just to the right of the photo). The only problem is I'm not sure whether I should be looking for a landscaper, builder or some other sort of contractor. Just wondering if anyone here has experience of something similar and can offer their advise - many thanks.

A landscaper or groundsworker would probably be a bit cheaper and could handle that no problem.

You need the concrete pipe extended then either a new engineering brick wall or a concrete pour into a shuttered frame,either way it needs a brick finish if it needs to be the same.

Type one mot stone base and a reinforced concrete top then whatever your surface is.
Any half decent builder or driveway company will do that.


Check local regs with your local authority

We had a similar requirement a few years back and a local builder carried the work out - they're quite capable of handling ground-works ime.

Any of the 3 professions mentioned. Just leave out the architect, soil engineer, solicitor and planning inspector.
