iGarden Installation in Dorset
Low-maintenance, year-round outdoor spaces designed and installed by Classic Landscaping.
What Is an iGarden, and Is It Right for Your Garden?
An iGarden is a low-maintenance outdoor space that replaces traditional grass and high-upkeep planting with durable, attractive hard landscaping and artificial surfaces. Designed for homeowners who want a garden they can enjoy without the ongoing demands of mowing, weeding, and seasonal replanting, iGardens are built around materials that look good all year round with minimal effort. Classic Landscaping designs and installs iGardens across Dorset, combining porcelain, decking, and synthetic grass to create spaces that suit your lifestyle and your garden’s layout.

Surfaces We Work With
Porcelain Tiles
A contemporary, frost-resistant surface that requires almost no maintenance. Porcelain is non-porous, so it resists staining and moss growth, and is available in a wide range of colours and formats to suit any iGarden design.
Porcelain Decking
Combines the warmth and appearance of a traditional deck with the durability and low-maintenance properties of porcelain. Slip-resistant and frost-proof, porcelain decking boards are ideal for year-round outdoor use.
Synthetic Grass
Modern synthetic grass is a far cry from the plastic look of earlier products. Today’s artificial lawns replicate the texture and appearance of natural grass without the mowing, watering, or seasonal patching — keeping your garden green and usable all year.

Our iGarden Installation Process
Free Consultation
We visit your garden, discuss how you use the space and what you want to change, and assess the existing ground conditions and levels. No obligation, no pressure.
Design and Quote
We produce a full design proposal for your iGarden, including a 3D render so you can see how the finished space will look before any work begins. The accompanying quote is fully itemised.
Installation
Existing lawn and planting are cleared and the ground is excavated and prepared to the correct depth for each surface area. A compacted sub-base is installed throughout, with drainage falls built in before any surface material is laid. Porcelain tiles and decking boards are fixed to the correct specification; synthetic grass is laid on a shock-absorbent base layer, trimmed to fit, and secured at all edges and joins to prevent lifting. Every transition between surfaces is finished with a clean, flush edge detail.
Sign-Off
Ian or Scott walks the completed iGarden with you before we leave site. Any finishing details are addressed on the day.
“We don’t consider a job complete until you’re 100% satisfied.”

References on request
The finish on an iGarden is everything. Surface transitions, edge details, and drainage falls are the details that separate a garden that looks designed from one that looks installed.

Frequently Asked Questions
iGarden costs vary depending on the size of the space, the combination of surfaces chosen, and the extent of groundworks required. Porcelain and decking sit at the higher end of the material range; synthetic grass is typically more cost-effective per square metre. We provide a fully itemised quote after visiting your garden so you know exactly what is included before committing.
Most iGarden projects take between three and seven days depending on the size of the space and the number of surface types involved. We confirm a realistic timeframe when we provide your quote.
A well-designed, professionally installed iGarden can improve kerb appeal and buyer interest, particularly for buyers who want outdoor space without the maintenance demands of a traditional garden. The impact on value depends on the quality of the finish and the design.
We work with modern sawn sandstone, granite, traditional brick and block paving, and porcelain tiles. Each has its own benefits in terms of appearance, durability, and maintenance. We are happy to talk through which option best suits your garden and budget.
Modern synthetic grass has improved significantly. Today’s products replicate the blade variation and texture of natural grass closely enough that the difference is not obvious at normal viewing distance. We only use products we are confident in — we can show you samples at your consultation.
Very little. Porcelain surfaces need an occasional wash down; synthetic grass benefits from a brush to keep the pile upright and prevent leaf debris from building up. Neither requires the seasonal treatment, mowing, or replanting that a traditional garden demands.
