Cost of Garden Landscaping in Corby (2026)
Garden Landscaping in Corby works out at £3,150 to £13,500 per garden in 2025, give or take. Corby runs a bit under the UK average, which mostly comes down to Northamptonshire labour rates and what the local housing stock demands. Straight like-for-like jobs hit the lower end; anything that needs pipework or structural changes pushes you up.
About garden landscaping in Corby
Corby is a small town of around 68,000 in Northamptonshire. The housing is mostly a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semi-detached housing and modern new-build estates. That matters: older properties usually mean more pipework, rewiring and retrofit surprises, while newer builds in districts like NN17, NN18 tend to be quicker jobs with standardised fittings. Local trade prices sit below the UK average. Lower contractor overheads and shorter distances across Northamptonshire do most of the work.
East Midlands pricing sits a touch below the national average. Nottingham, Derby and Leicester are the higher end; smaller towns are noticeably cheaper. Plenty of Travis Perkins, Selco and Howdens branches across the region means parts rarely hold a job up.
Landscaping prices move with materials. Natural stone, porcelain pavers and composite decking have all climbed sharply in the past two years. APL (Association of Professional Landscapers) is the trade body to look for. Retaining walls over a metre need Building Regulations, and raised decking over 30cm can need planning consent — worth checking before you start.
