Groundworks & Landscaping Services in Petersfield

Built for South Downs slopes, showers and everyday life

Your local experts for stress free outdoor projects

Groundworks & Landscaping in Petersfield demands a careful, methodical approach. Petersfield’s mix of chalk and clay soils, steeper approaches and heavier downpours means shortcuts show up quickly. We plan each job around how your plot actually behaves—water paths, root zones, access and levels—then deliver groundworks, patios, landscaping, driveways and drainage as one coordinated programme. The result is clear scope, tidy sites and a finish that keeps its shape through the seasons. Expect measured excavation, layer-by-layer compaction, correctly specified footings and discreet drainage that protects structures and surfaces. We also schedule materials sensibly, manage waste responsibly and provide clear communication from survey to sign-off, so progress is smooth and disruption is minimal.

On roads stepping down towards the town centre we’re meticulous with kerb lines, levels and threshold details to prevent wash-off. Where plots sit exposed to prevailing weather, we integrate channels, land drains and appropriately sized soakaways to control run-off. Around older cottages and flint walls we favour natural stone, clay pavers and sympathetic edging that sit comfortably with period character while delivering modern performance and durability. We can supply samples, create small test layouts and advise on aftercare, helping you choose confidently and keep everything looking sharp year-round.

Our Services in Liss

Groundworks – Measured excavation and layered compaction with regulation‑ready footings and oversites matched to the soil profile.
Patios – Uneven or puddle‑prone terraces rebuilt on robust bases with subtle falls away from the house. Porcelain for low maintenance or sandstone for natural character—both finished with crisp edging and joints.
Landscaping – Terraces, steps and practical paths to bring order to gradients; soil improvement and planting planned for resilience.
Driveways – Firm edges, compact sub‑bases and precise levels to resist rutting; channels or soakaways to protect thresholds.
Drainage – Channels, French drains and soakaways sized for slower percolation to move water away from buildings and high‑traffic areas.

Everything runs under one plan, groundworks, landscaping, patios, driveways and drainage, so you’re not juggling trades or chasing timelines. Expect straight advice, clear pricing and a tidy site from first dig to final sweep.

Update: We recently had T&K HUMPHREY LTD for a second Job, to lay a new patio as we were so pleased with their pevious work they did for us - And again they were excellent - Competitively priced (not the cheapest, but by far the best value), kept great communication and did an amazing Job, leaving the site spotless. I can highly recommend them, an absolute delight to work with. --- We were very happy with the recent work carried out by T & K Humphrey. They built an Oak Sleeper retaining wall in our garden which we are delighted with. The team were really friendly, professional and hard working. T & K Humphrey have been a pleasure to work from start to finish. They offered us great advice along the way, and went above and beyond. I highly recommend them.

We recently had Jon and Tim to re-landscape our garden comprising a large expanse of lawn that had particularly poor drainage. From the beginning, Jon and Tim were very professional and easy to communicate with. We ended up having the central lawn dug up and drainage placed into our soak away along with new top soil and lawn placed - this was a last minute decision that they easily accommodated. Along with that, we wanted gravel areas around this with paving next to one of our garden rooms. Jon and Tim worked extremely hard and the project was completed in 3 weeks. We were worried the garden works would be extremely messy work, especially given it was February but they kept everywhere very clean and tidy and cleaned down everything at the end. Jon and Tim were great to work with, very thorough and genuinely nice people! Plus after receiving other quotes at the beginning, they were also very reasonably priced. We’d highly recommend them and would use them for any other garden/ grounds work needed. Now for us to start adding plants! Thank you

First class work from T&K Humphrey, couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We had foundations laid for a two story extension. Communication was great on all aspects of the build, all services were coordinated and punctual. They left the site immaculate and were flexible throughout. I would highly recommend if you want your work done, on time, to spec with an experienced team. Lovely fellas too!

Tim and John interpreted my brief perfectly and the end result exceeded my expectations. Their work has completely transformed my house and it was carried out quickly and efficiently with minimal disruption or mess. The loveliest people to deal with. I am delighted. Thank you.

We couldn't recommend Jon, Tim and their team highly enough after recently completing our landscaping project in Haslemere. It has been a real pleasure working with them. The project involved clearing and major levelling works, which involved 21 grab lorry movements of soil removal and building a retaining structure comprising approx 150 vertical oak sleepers. In addition, laying new turf and the installation of drainage beneath the new lawn, tree felling and relocating numerous shrubs to the perimeter of the garden, levelling a section of patio and installing a new pond. Everything was completed to the highest standard and the team worked professionally and efficiently throughout, completing the work in the time quoted and despite wet weather, keeping the site tidy at all times. Nothing was ever too much to ask. From our first meeting and introduction to Tim and Jon, when we discussed the brief we got a good feeling about the friendly yet professional approach and we would have no hesitation recommending them to others and working with them again.

We are BEYOND thrilled with the works T&K Humphrey completed for us on our new build in Haslemere, Surrey. This included the complete groundwork’s package for the new house, grubbing up the existing drive and hard standings, installing all new external finishes including permeable block paved drive way with granite setts border, porcelain tiled patio area and surrounding paths, sleeper retaining walls and steps to a split level rear garden, as well as soft landscaping including spread and level of topsoil and turf finishes to some areas. Tim, John, Tiny and Micky have been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the build. The attention to detail, professionalism and communication has been absolutely top notch! They played a major part in us achieving our build on programme and on budget 👌🏼 We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend T & K Humphrey to anyone and everyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm very pleased with the work done, my decking was removed and replaced with a Sandstone patio. I was happy with the price the skip and materials turned up and the work was started and finished no mucking about.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer free site visits in Petersfield?

Yes. A visit lets us assess access, soil and levels so pricing is accurate and the programme realistic.

Will the work cope with heavier rain?

We design for local rainfall patterns, setting reliable falls and integrating channels and soakaways to move water away from buildings.

Can you match materials to period homes?

Absolutely. We can specify natural stone, clay pavers and brick details that respect local character without compromising performance.

Is porcelain slippery?

Textured, outdoor-rated options provide grip and are easy to clean—ideal for shade or exposed areas.

Can drainage be retrofitted to fix problem spots?

Often, yes. Subtle re-levelling with channels and a correctly sized soakaway typically resolves persistent puddling.

How do you handle narrow lanes and tight access?

We schedule deliveries, use compact machinery and keep neighbours informed so progress is smooth and disruption is minimal.
