Dig-in Landscaping specialises in custom, bespoke garden pieces: raised planters, garden structures, play areas, garden art, furniture and accessories, all designed and built to fit your garden. If you can’t find exactly what you want off the shelf, we can make it.
Custom planters
- Steel-clad raised planters. Four planters, each 2.5m x 1.5m, built from treated timber and finished in 1mm galvanised steel.
- A granite and slate planter. A large planter clad in natural split-face granite, topped with slate and back-filled with 8 tonnes of topsoil.
- Railway sleeper planters. Three raised planters built from 38 sleepers and filled with 5 tonnes of soil.
- An oak sleeper planter. A 7m-long raised planter running alongside a new composite deck.
Bespoke structures and play areas
Our largest bespoke build is a 6m covered seating area with a built-in barbecue. It’s made from recycled timber decking, with a tinted polycarbonate roof, a printed acrylic “picture window” and colour-changing LED lighting. See it in our garden structures section.
We’ve also built a large children’s play area from garden sleepers, with integrated swings, a sandpit and custom planters, alongside 60m² of composite decking.
