White Cottage Landscapes
Most people ring about a patio. They end up with a garden they use in November.
We’re a Daventry landscaping firm run by Gaz. We design, build and finish complete outdoor spaces: paving, drives, lawns, walls, steps, planting, lighting and outdoor kitchens, and the groundworks underneath all of it. One crew does the lot, which is why the junctions are tidy and nothing waits on the next trade.
We also sub-contract groundworks, civils and external packages to builders, developers and garden designers across three counties.

Featured project · Northamptonshire
Walled garden transformation
A plain lawn and a herringbone patio became a lit walled garden with a reclaimed sett circle, curved dry-stone raised beds, a stone outdoor kitchen and planting to a designer's scheme.
- The challenge
- Walled on three sides with a single side gate, so every tonne of stone and spoil went through by barrow and the 0.8t machine.
- Materials
- Reclaimed granite and sandstone setts, Local ironstone for the dry-stone-style raised beds, Block and stone outdoor kitchen with granite worktop.
The bit under the slabs is where the money goes. We photograph it before it disappears.Gaz, White Cottage Landscapes

Landscaping advice
What we tell people on the site visit.
Costs · 7 min readHow much does landscaping cost in Northamptonshire?
Real price ranges for patios, drives, lawns, fencing, walls and complete gardens, and what moves the number up or down.Read the guide Patios · 5 min readPorcelain vs sandstone: which patio should you choose?
Honest comparison from a firm that lays both: looks, upkeep, cost, winter, and which suits which house.Read the guideHow much does landscaping cost in Northamptonshire?
A porcelain or sandstone patio runs roughly £110 to £220 per square metre installed. A block-paved drive £100 to £160 per square metre. A full garden makeover is typically £8,000 to £35,000. Every job gets a fixed written quote after a free site visit.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in Daventry and cover Northampton, Rugby, Towcester and the villages between, plus North Oxfordshire and South Warwickshire. Roughly forty minutes in any direction.
Do I need planning permission?
Rarely for a patio or garden wall under 2 metres. Driveways need permeable drainage or a soakaway to avoid it. We flag anything that needs permission in the quote.
How long will my garden be a building site?
A patio four to seven days, a driveway about a week, a complete makeover two to five weeks. We give you the programme with the quote and leave the site swept every night.
Do you work for builders and developers?
Yes. Groundworks, civils, demolition, earth moving and full external packages with our own plant from 0.8 to 28 tonnes. See the trade page.
Can I see a design before you start?
Yes. Send a photo and we will send back a concept through our Visualise Your Garden tool, then a scale plan for anything more than a straight patio.
