Scape Landscaping offers a full-service garden design consultancy to clients seeking an outside space which is both beautiful and functional. From small courtyards and roof terraces to full-scale rural landscaping, we offer a range of services including the development of the garden design concept, construction, planting and garden styling if required. Based in Exeter, Steve Waller and his small team work on landscaping and design projects in Exeter and the South West. Our portfolio of work includes a wide range of garden designs from contemporary city makeovers to large country gardens.

We have built many stone walls and raised beds with locally sourced quarry stone in the Exeter and surrounding area. Stone walling is a craft which takes time and the finish is very much dependant on the workmanship and knowledge of the stone mason. Dry stone walls are often free-standing boundary walls, the dry stone technique makes strong retaining walls due to the land behind the wall is allowed to drain freely between the stones. Dry stone is very eco-friendly as it doesn't require mortar and works with nature to blend into the landscape.

The demand has increased over the last few years for artificial turf in domestic gardens. It has a number of benefits to many homeowners who can have pets, children or who simply don't have the time or energy to consistently manage a grass lawn. It is a great alternative if you have a shady garden or have been plagued with moss or leatherjacket grubs. Artificial turf has improved dramatically with a wide range of green colours, textures and fibre lengths. We are experienced installers and have many samples for you to choose from.

This garden is set in beautiful countryside on the outskirts of Exeter. The works took a total of 4 weeks from start to finish. The paving material used was Indian Sandstone which has a rich colour and interesting details, in keeping with the setting. We used 6 tons of stone for the garden walling, 100m2 of paving plus 30 used wooden railway sleepers to create the steps. The choice of pavers really works well with the house and gave the whole property exterior a face lift. It was a pleasure to work on this design project and the location in Dunchideock near Haldon was stunning.

There are many types of patio and paving slabs available, something to suit every style of outdoor space. Whether you want the warm shades of Indian sandstone, contemporary sleek black slate, high-end granite or simple inexpensive concrete slabs we can source samples and provide competitive prices. Why not incorporate granite block edging or shingle into your design to add interest? There is a vast choice of sizes, colours, textures and finishes available. Our knowledge and expertise in laying patterns and jointing options can substantially transform simple paving into something modern, it's all in the laying and finish, it's what we're good at.

We have installed hundreds of fences in Devon and offer a competitive price and high-quality finish built to last. There are many different types of fencing materials and styles available. There are many different designs and fencing materials available from national and local suppliers including lap, featheredge, and closeboard fencing. Some fences available can have a dome-shaped top, others trellis or metal, alternatively, you can choose a combination of these features to add more interest to fencing.

You can't make an omelette without breaking an egg when it comes to many garden redesign projects. It generally starts with garden or site clearance. We have many years of experience managing projects and know how to keep a tidy site and how to best to dispose of the waste. If you have limited access then we can usually help problem solve the best way forward. Images here show what many sites are like before we start work and how they can be turned around into usable spaces.

We are very lucky to have great partnerships with regional nurseries and plant specialists offering you a vast choice of specimens at very competitive prices. Our knowledge and expertise in garden design puts planting at the heart of your garden. Sometimes customers are happy to source and plant the garden themselves once the main design and structure is built. Some opt for the full service working with us and nurseries to source planting schemes that are suitable for them. Often people want a lush green garden but with minimal maintenance, others want a garden they can potter about in on a daily or weekly basis.

From pergolas to garden pods, we install and erect many structures ensuring high workmanship and competitive pricing. We are skilled in making bespoke structures tailored to your specification or need and have a portfolio of examples. We partner with suppliers such as Grange Fencing and local suppliers to source off-the-shelf structures such as pergolas, trellis, and arbours. If you have something specific in mind, get in touch.

A well designed and installed garden deck can transform your outdoor space into contemporary modern space to dine, relax or for the children to play. It comes in a range of soft, hard or eco options varying in quality, timber type and size. Decking is a great way to make practical use of slopes by creating different levels and areas of interest. It can cover up uneven or unsightly surfaces, making it a very practical choice for dealing with garden imperfections. We have many timber options available and source decking from FSC grade wood local suppliers.
