Landscaping in Maidstone, Kent
Golden Hands is a family-run landscaping team working from Maidstone across the surrounding areas of Kent. We design and build patios and paving, decking, pergolas, fencing, artificial lawns, garden rooms and full garden transformations — surveyed, quoted and built by the same crew.
Professional landscaping in Maidstone
Most of the gardens we are called into have the same problem: awkward levels, a lawn that never drains, a patio in the wrong place for the sun, or a layout that simply does not match how the family lives. Our starting point is the property itself — the aspect, the ground conditions, the access for materials and the way you want to use the space.
From there we set out the practical decisions: where the paving sits and which way it falls, how a retaining wall holds a slope, whether a deck or a patio suits the height of the back door, how planting and screening give you privacy without closing the garden in. The result is an outdoor space that is comfortable to use and straightforward to look after, not a showpiece that only works in photographs.
Complete garden transformations
A full garden rarely needs one trade. It needs clearance and excavation, drainage, brickwork, paving, timber work, fencing, lawn and often lighting. Golden Hands carries out those elements ourselves, in sequence, so you are not left booking separate contractors and hoping their dates and standards line up.
Practically, that means one survey, one quote and one crew on site. Groundworks are finished before paving starts; fence lines and structures are set out against the finished levels rather than around them; the lawn goes down last so it is not being walked over by other trades. You can see complete transformations of this kind in our before and after gallery.
Landscaping services we offer
Individual elements or an entire garden — these are the parts of the job we handle in-house for customers in Maidstone and across Kent.
Patios and paving
Porcelain, natural stone and block paving laid on properly excavated, compacted sub-bases with the falls and drainage worked out before a single slab goes down.
Garden design
We plan the layout around how you actually use the garden — where the sun sits, where you eat, where the children play — then set levels, materials and planting to suit.
Pergolas
Timber and steel-framed pergolas, walkways and shade structures, built in place and often wired for lighting so they work in the evening as well as at midday.
Decking
Raised and split-level decks in hardwood timber or composite, including under-deck storage, integrated steps and balustrades.
Fencing and screens
Close-board and cedar fencing, slatted privacy screens, cladding and gates — built to line and level rather than bought as flat-pack panels.
Artificial grass and turf
Artificial lawns and natural turf laid on prepared, free-draining bases, with clean edge detailing against paving, planters and borders.
Garden rooms and summer houses
Garden rooms, cabins and summer houses with the base, decking, paving and services around them handled as part of the same job.
Ground preparation and groundworks
Site clearance, demolition, excavation, drainage, retaining walls and brickwork — the unseen work that decides whether a garden still looks right in ten years.
