Transform your outdoor space with Link Construction & Landscaping's complete garden design and build services across Kettering. We handle everything from initial concept to final planting, delivering stunning gardens that enhance your property's value and your family's lifestyle.
Whether you're looking to create a low-maintenance modern garden, a family-friendly space with lawn and patio areas, or a complete redesign of an overgrown or poorly functioning outdoor space, our team brings the expertise to make it happen. We've completed dozens of garden transformations across Kettering, from compact terraced house gardens to larger suburban properties.
Most landscaping companies either focus on soft landscaping (plants and lawns) or hard landscaping (patios and walls) — but rarely both to a high standard. Our team combines expertise in groundworks, construction, and garden design, meaning we can handle complex projects that require drainage solutions, retaining walls, or significant ground preparation alongside the finished garden features.
This integrated approach means better project coordination, clearer communication, and often better value than hiring separate contractors for different elements of your garden transformation.
Every project begins with a free site visit and consultation at your Kettering property. We'll discuss your vision, assess the existing garden, identify any drainage or ground preparation needs, and provide a detailed quote covering all aspects of the work.
Our groundworks capability sets us apart — we handle excavation, drainage, and soil preparation in-house rather than subcontracting this crucial foundation work. This means better quality control and faster project completion, especially important for Kettering's clay soil conditions that often require proper drainage solutions.
Garden design consultation and planning, complete ground preparation including excavation and drainage where needed, hard landscaping features such as patios, pathways, and retaining walls, soft landscaping including turfing, planting, and raised beds, outdoor features like pergolas, planters, or water features, and waste removal and site cleanup.
We source materials from trusted local suppliers and work to British Standards throughout. All work comes with our workmanship guarantee, and we're fully insured for your peace of mind.
We work with a full range of materials to suit different budgets and styles. For paved areas, we offer everything from traditional block paving and natural stone to modern porcelain slabs and resin-bound surfaces. For planting areas, we can create raised beds using brick, stone, or sleeper construction, and we source plants suited to Kettering's soil and climate conditions.
Lawn areas can be established through turfing for immediate impact or seeding for budget-conscious projects. We also install efficient irrigation systems where needed and can incorporate low-maintenance design principles to reduce ongoing garden upkeep.

Most complete garden makeovers take 1–3 weeks depending on the scope. A basic patio and turfing project might be completed in 5–7 days, while larger projects with multiple features, drainage work, or extensive groundworks can take 2–3 weeks.
Most garden landscaping doesn't require planning permission, including patios, turfing, raised beds, and standard fencing. However, if you're planning structures over 2.5m high or work near boundaries, North Northamptonshire Council may need to approve it.
We handle everything from initial garden design and soil preparation to paving, turfing, planting, and finishing touches. This includes groundworks, drainage if needed, material sourcing, and project management from start to completion.
Absolutely. We regularly design around mature trees, established borders, or existing structures that homeowners want to preserve. Our team will assess what can stay and integrate it into the new design during the planning stage.
All of our work is backed by a workmanship guarantee, and we only use trusted materials that meet British Standards.
