Dan showed us how drainage works on the plan. Makes so much sense now.
You can tell he enjoys the craft.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping handled our steep hillside plot with patience and logic. Dan explained retaining walls using sketches, not jargon, and never made us feel daft for asking questions.
The finished model has different zones for sun, shade and play — each practical and realistic. It’s tidy, grounded design, not fancy nonsense. Feels like money well spent.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping included lighting positions on the plan. The dusk renders made us think about cabling early which saved hassle later.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping produced a 3D design that actually captured how we live — bikes, barbecue, football net, all of it. Dan even threw in a little herb wall idea that fits perfectly.
He’s thoughtful, creative and bang on time with replies. Honestly, best money we’ve spent on the house so far.

Dan gave honest feedback instead of sugar-coating. You can trust what he says — refreshing these days.

Dan asked how we actually use the garden, then shaped paths around that. The changes were quick and the visuals were clean.
Feels designed for us rather than a template.

We had rain hammering the windows during the online review and Dan joked it was perfect weather for planning sunshine. The 3D model worked smoothly on my old laptop too.
Backhouse Construction & Landscaping clearly know how to make the process comfortable for anyone, even the tech-shy.

Dan listened more than he talked, which immediately built trust. The plan from Backhouse Construction & Landscaping included two options: dream and budget.
He walked us through both without any pressure, explaining where compromise actually works. His professionalism and warmth are worth more than glossy brochures. We’d recommend him in a heartbeat.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping were brilliant from the first email. Dan sent an invite for a design chat bang on time, no faffing about, and by the end of the call we’d seen two versions of our garden in 3D.
He explained why certain paths would collect water and adjusted them there and then. He’s cheerful, honest and clearly takes pride in neat work, even digital. It’s so nice dealing with a company that treats design like part of the build, not an afterthought.

Dan added our dog’s path through the lawn to the plan. Thoughtful little detail.
Backhouse Construction & Landscaping clearly pay attention.

Our plot floods easily and Dan spotted the problem straight away during the digital survey. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping raised the patio slightly in the plan and showed us how to divert water properly.
Saved us a fortune later. Everything from his timing to his tidy communication deserves praise. A cracking experience start to finish.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping colour-coded zones so the eye understands travel routes. Dan moved a tree by half a metre and suddenly the view opened.
It’s mad how precise the software is and how calm the design feels after tweaks.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping set a gentle curve along the lawn edge so the narrow plot feels broader. The planting key labels spread, height and season so I know what to expect.
It’s calm and organised, and I finally feel confident ordering materials without second-guessing everything.

I wanted a simple lawn and paths. Dan showed how small curves soften the fence line without stealing space.
The before-and-after views were convincing. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping then added a maintenance key so I know what needs doing each month.

Dan’s design showed where the evening sun hits which solved our constant debate about seating. It was spot on.
The level of detail — even the shadows from fences — impressed my dad. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping deliver more than drawings; they give you a vision you can actually trust.
