Our Expertise

Garden Build & Installation

Our landscaping team provides a complete garden build and installation service, transforming design concepts into beautifully crafted outdoor spaces. We manage every stage of the process — from ground preparation and hard landscaping to planting and final detailing — with a commitment to precision and exceptional workmanship. Each project is executed with care and an eye for detail, ensuring every material, joint, and planting scheme is finished to the highest standard. Our experienced craftsmen work collaboratively with designers and clients to deliver gardens that are both functional and timeless, built to perform and endure in their natural setting.

Bespoke timber and outdoor craft

At Umbel Outdoors, we specialise in creating bespoke timber elements that bring character, warmth, and function to gardens and outdoor spaces. Our skilled team crafts everything from pergolas, garden structures, gates and seating to fencing, natural log walls, and sculptural features. We also design and build custom outdoor furniture, from dining tables to benches, perfectly suited to each space and the client’s lifestyle. Every piece is carefully considered — using quality timber and, where appropriate, traditional joinery techniques — to complement the natural surroundings and the overall design of the garden. Whether it’s a statement pergola, a sculptural log feature, or a handcrafted table for outdoor dining, our work combines function, beauty, and longevity, creating outdoor environments that can be enjoyed year-round.

Natural Stone & Masonry

At Umbel Outdoors, we specialise in natural stonework that combines durability, texture, and timeless beauty. From dry stone walls and retaining structures to paving, steps, and feature walls, our team carefully selects and shapes stone to suit each garden and its surroundings. We focus on materials that feel authentic and grounded, often using locally sourced stone to ensure the garden blends seamlessly with its landscape. Every project is crafted with care, balancing function and form to create spaces that are both practical and visually striking. Whether it’s a structural wall, a pathway, or a bespoke stone feature, our stonework brings weight, character, and longevity to outdoor spaces, complementing the planting and timber elements to create gardens that are harmonious, inviting, and built to last.

Outdoor Kitchens

We offer a bespoke service for outdoor kitchens, creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional, carefully tailored to your lifestyle. From a pizza oven or BBQ corner to a full all-year-round kitchen with bespoke timber seating, pergolas, or a fire feature, every element is designed to fit seamlessly within your garden and its surroundings. We place careful thought on materials and aesthetics, choosing natural and durable finishes that complement the landscape and enhance the character of your outdoor space. Planting is considered as part of the design, with opportunities for edible herbs, fruit, and vegetables integrated into the layout, so your kitchen is not only a place to cook and entertain but also a source of seasonal produce and sensory delight. From design through to build and installation, we craft a space that works beautifully with your garden, creating a personalised outdoor kitchen where you, your family, and friends can cook, dine, and relax — a place to gather, celebrate, and enjoy the outdoors for years to come.

Landscape Consultation

Our landscape consultation service offers trusted, experienced advice to help you make the most of your outdoor space. Available either online or in person, these sessions provide professional guidance on every aspect of hard landscaping. Whether you need advice on layout and structure, paving and pathways, retaining walls, terraces, outdoor kitchens, or material choices, we’ll work with you to ensure your ideas are practical, cohesive, and achievable. Consultations are tailored to your project — from early planning stages through to refining the details — giving you confidence to move forward with clarity and expert support.

Design Consultation

Not every project requires a full garden design — sometimes you just need a little guidance and inspiration. We offer design consultations, either in person or online, as a one-off session or with ongoing support. These consultations can cover anything from planting advice and layout ideas to lighting, materials, and styling. They are ideal for those who want to design their own garden but would like expert input, or for those with an established garden who need help refining tricky areas, adding finishing touches, or making thoughtful updates.
