Build it right, once
Proper foundations, drainage and detailing on every job — the work you don’t see is what makes the work you do see last.
Our story
Romford born. Built on doing it properly.
A tight team of designers, landscapers and carpenters who’ve been transforming Havering’s gardens and driveways since 2009 — and who genuinely care how the job is done.

How it started
From one van to the borough’s most-recommended team
Oakhart Landscapes began in 2009 with a single van, a trailer and a simple belief: that the average local landscaping job was being done too quickly and too cheaply, and that homeowners deserved far better.
From the start, founder Daniel Oakhart did things the proper way — deep sub-bases, full mortar beds, concreted posts, engineered drainage — even when it cost more and took longer. Word spread, the team grew, and the accreditations followed.
Today we are a tight team of eighteen designers, landscapers and carpenters based in Romford, serving Havering and the surrounding Essex towns. We are Marshalls Register and Brett Approved installers, fully insured to £5 million, and we back every job with a written 10-year guarantee.
We have completed over 850 gardens and driveways across the borough — but the thing we are proudest of is how many of our customers come back for their next project, and recommend us to their neighbours.
