Southampton has a mild maritime climate with relatively cool summers, mild winters and significant rainfall spread through the year. Being close to the Solent, the city experiences frequent wet periods that shape when certain types of landscape work can and cannot be carried out. Here is how the landscape gardening calendar typically runs across the city.

Spring
March to May. The primary season for starting new landscape projects and carrying out the ground preparation work that underpins everything else. Tasks this season:
• Soil preparation and regrading for new lawn areas once the ground has firmed after winter waterlogging
• Sod installation and grass seeding from mid spring once soil temperature supports establishment
• Hard landscaping and driveway installation projects that were planned over winter get underway
• Garden design consultations and planning for projects to be built through spring and into summer
• Retaining wall construction on sloping sites where ground conditions allow access for machinery

Summer
June to August. Peak season for project delivery and the prime time for completed gardens to be used and enjoyed. Tasks this season:
• Hard landscaping projects continue with the most favourable working conditions of the year
• Lawn establishment and aftercare for sod and seeding laid in spring
• Garden design installations combining hard and soft landscaping elements
• Grading and drainage work on problem areas identified when heavy spring rain revealed where water sits
• Groundskeeping and landscape management programmes in full operation throughout the city

Autumn
September to November. Autumn is a good time for certain types of landscape work and the critical period for preparation before winter. Tasks this season:
• Planting schemes installed in autumn establish root systems over winter and are ready to perform the following spring
• Lawn regrading and drainage improvements while ground is still workable
• Hard landscaping projects where clients want work completed before year end
• Leaf clearance from Southampton Common, Bassett and the tree rich suburban areas as an ongoing groundskeeping task
• Assessment and planning for winter and spring projects on problem drainage sites

Winter
December to February. Wet weather and shortened daylight limit outdoor work but do not stop it. Tasks this season:
• Groundskeeping and landscape management continue on contracted sites
• Hard landscaping on suitable sites with properly prepared sub bases and correct materials
• Planning, design and quoting for the spring project rush, which begins from late February
• Storm damage assessment and clearance on properties affected by winter weather
• Drainage monitoring on low lying sites near the Itchen and Test floodplains where waterlogging reveals problems to address in spring
• Bassett and the Chilworth Fringe
• Bitterne, Bitterne Park and Woolston
• Low Lying Areas Near the Itchen and Test
• Shirley, Sholing and the Suburban Estates
WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

★★★★★
Keith D
I was extremely satisfied with the service provided in reparing a roof leak in my home. Not only was the initial inspection very thorough but the repair was done efficiently, followed by photos from the installers of the work progress. Additionally, all employees that I dealt with were very polite and professional. Highly recommend Neal Roofing.

Tom was great to work with. He was with the project from beginning to end. We called a few days later with an issue with the scupper. He was on it immediately and took care of it beautifully. The work crew was awesome. Really great guys. Friendly, funny, courteous, and cleaned up everything. We definitely recommend these guys.

Answers to the questions we hear most often from homeowners across Southampton planning landscaping projects.
Yes, in the majority of cases. Poor drainage in Southampton gardens is typically caused by one of three things: heavier clay or alluvial subsoils that hold water, compacted ground where topsoil was stripped and reinstated poorly during house construction, or incorrect falls and levels that direct water towards buildings or allow it to pool in hollows. All of these are addressable through proper site assessment, regrading to establish correct falls, and where necessary the installation of drainage features such as French drains or soakaways. Getting the drainage right is the foundation of any lasting landscape improvement. Call +44 7850 412717 or visit our grading and resloping in Southampton page for more.
Project timescales depend entirely on scope. A driveway landscaping project or sod installation on a medium sized garden typically takes two to five days of on site work, depending on preparation needs. A more comprehensive scheme combining ground regrading, a new patio, retaining wall and planting will take longer and the on site programme will be confirmed in the written proposal before we start. We work systematically through projects and do not leave clients with partially completed gardens. If you have a deadline, such as a property sale or a specific date you need the garden ready for, tell us when you call on +44 7850 412717 and we will plan around it.
