Patio and Decking Installation
A well-laid patio or decking area extends your usable outdoor living space and adds to the value and enjoyment of your Old Town home. Patio installation involves careful preparation of the sub-base, laying on a suitable mortar bed, and jointing, done properly, a patio should last for many years without sinking, cracking, or allowing weeds to penetrate.
Decking requires sound structural support, appropriate timber specification (hardwood or pressure-treated softwood), and correct gapping for drainage and movement. Both surfaces require planning in terms of drainage gradients to prevent water pooling against the house. A professional landscaper or gardener with hardscaping experience will manage all of these details and deliver a finished result that is both functional and attractive.

North West Pricing Variations for Garden Work
Within North West itself, there can be meaningful differences in pricing between urban and rural areas, between affluent and less affluent towns, and between areas where there is strong competition among gardeners and those where demand outstrips supply. Old Town sits within this regional context, and the prices quoted by local gardeners will reflect it.
Some of the variation in quotes you receive will reflect genuine differences in quality, experience, and scope, a BALI-registered landscaper will cost more than a general handyman, and rightly so. Other variation may reflect differences in overhead costs, vehicle and equipment quality, and how busy different professionals are at any given time. Getting multiple quotes and understanding what each one includes is the best way to navigate this variation.
Gardening FAQs, TPO and Protected Trees
A Tree Preservation Order is a legal protection placed on a specific tree or group of trees by the local planning authority. It is an offence to cut down, uproot, top, lop, or carry out any other work on a TPO tree without first obtaining consent from the council. The fine for breaching a TPO can be substantial.
You can check with your local planning authority, many councils publish TPO registers online. In a conservation area, all trees over a certain size are subject to notification requirements even without a specific TPO. A professional gardener or tree surgeon in Old Town will be familiar with local TPO areas and will advise you before undertaking any tree work.
You have the right to cut back branches overhanging your property to the boundary, but only if the tree is not protected by a TPO. The cuttings remain the property of the tree owner and should be offered back to them. You should not go onto a neighbour's property or cut beyond your boundary without permission.
Liability depends on the circumstances, whether the tree owner knew or should have known the tree was dangerous, and whether they took reasonable steps to address it. If a tree falls in a storm without prior signs of disease or structural failure, the owner is generally not liable. If the tree was visibly diseased and no action was taken, liability may rest with the owner. A professional tree survey can establish the health of trees and provide a defensible record of any action taken.
