Why don't split packs of paving include free delivery?
With full packs of paving, delivery is 'free' as the delivery cost is included in the price of the pack rather than being charged separately.
However, split packs incur the exact same cost to deliver as a full pack would, as couriers charge for that space whether the pack/pallet was full, half full or empty.
Rather than adding the same delivery charge back on to the split-pack price, we feel that it is much clearer and transparent to list it separately,
Some other suppliers prefer to bundle the delivery costs back in to the price of the split quantity, which is completely fine, we just feel it is a little more confusing as it distorts the price per M2.
Both methods result in the exact same delivered total, we just feel listing the delivery charge separately is clearer and makes it easier to price a project when looking at it.
For example, showing Paving XYZ as £30.00/M2 regardless of M2 required, with a £90.00 delivery charge for a split pack (when required) is much clearer than:
Paving XYZ - 1M2 split pack = £120.00/M2
Paving XYZ - 2M2 split pack = £75.00/M2
Paving XYZ - 3M2 split pack = £60.00/M2
Paving XYZ - 4M2 split pack = £52.50M2
Paving XYZ - 5M2 split pack = £48.00/M2
Paving XYZ - 6M2 split pack = £45.00/M2
.and so on...
Where do/don't you deliver to?
Currently, we only deliver to mainland UK excluding some harder-to-reach postcodes.

GY - Guernsey
JE - Jersey
BT - Northern Ireland
IE - Republic of Ireland
IM - Isle of Man
ZE - Lerwick/Shetland
KW - North East Scotland / Orkney Islands

How will my paving be delivered?
We use third-party couriers to delivery our products nationwide. For bulky deliveries, this service is based on delivering kerb-side to the nearest point of access to your property that it is safe to do so. Delivery vehicles are typically 18-tonne HGVs, so sufficient access to the address with a hard-standing surface to offload on are required.
Paving is delivered in crates or on a pallet, with a tail offload vehicle using a pump truck to pull the paving in to position. The driver may be able to pull the product on to your driveway if requested, although it is solely at the driver’s discretion as to whether the conditions are appropriate, and it is safe to do so.
How will my artificial grass be delivered?
We use third-party couriers to delivery our products nationwide. This service is based on delivering kerb-side to the nearest point of access to your property that it is safe to do so. Delivery vehicles are typically 18 ton HGVs, so sufficient access to the address with a hard-standing surface to offload on are required.
Artificial grass is delivered as a large roll. The roll itself is too heavy for just one person to lift, so to ensure that it does not get damaged, we request that somebody is available to assist the driver with the offload. Ancillary products such as pins, tape and glue are generally dispatched separately to the main products to avoid getting damaged or lost in transit with the rolls. These will be delivered much like an ordinary parcel would.
How will my composite decking, cladding or fencing be delivered?
Composite decking, cladding and fencing are best offloaded by hand due to the length and weight of the products. Because of this, we request that somebody is available on the delivery day to assist the driver with offload to prevent the products getting damaged.
Landscaping Direct’s Own range of composite products are delivered by a ‘man and van’, allowing more flexibility in terms of access and offload.
For composite products from other brands, we use third-party couriers to delivery our products nationwide. This service is based on delivering kerb-side to the nearest point of access to your property that it is safe to do so. Delivery vehicles are typically 18 ton HGVs, so sufficient access to the address with a hard-standing surface to offload on are required.
In either instance, we kindly request that somebody is available on the delivery day to assist with offloading.
How will my accessories be delivered?
Accessories and ancillaries such as tubs of jointing compounds, grout, sealers, cleaners, etc. are delivered to your door via couriers such as APC and Parcelforce.
For bulkier orders, such as 20+ tubs of jointing compounds, your order will likely arrive via a third-party pallet courier where goods will usually be offloaded via a pump-truck, but may sometimes need to be hand-balled off the side of the wagon.
What ensures a smoother delivery?
There are a few easy factors which can help achieve a successful delivery:
The most important factor is to ensure that a large lorry can get to your property. Parked cars, tight streets, obstructive trees, etc. are the main disruptors to a delivery.
Most deliveries are typically made on an 18-tonne lorry which is 12 metres long, 2.8 metres wide and 4 metres high. Please advise if there are any accessibility issues when placing your order. Alternative 7.5 tonne vehicles can be arranged where access is restricted – these lorries measure approximately 8.8 x 2.5 x 3.5. (Please note that there may be additional charges and delays to your order if an alternative vehicle needs to be arranged.)
Similarly, the ground conditions are important to consider. The lorry needs to be able to offload on hard, level ground to avoid complications. Where a pallet truck is to be used to manoeuvre pallets and crates, the ground also needs to be flat and solid. Gravel, or pot-holed surfaces for instance can limit the ability to deliver the goods where required.
Prior notice of the above can help the courier to determine an alternative route or vehicle be used for first time completion, whereas failure to do so may result in delays and potential re-delivery charges if the goods cannot be delivered at the next best suitable area. In most cases, there tends not to be an issue, and the driver will endeavour to deliver your goods to the next-best suitable area if first choice isn’t possible.
What if delivery can’t be made?
If the delivery could not be made due to the customer, for example, failing to advise of access issues, not being home to accept delivery or the conditions for offload not being suitable, then there may be re-delivery charges incurred for further delivery attempts.
If the delivery could not be made due to, for example, road closures, vehicle breakdown, etc. then you will be advised at the earliest opportunity and re-delivery will be re-scheduled at no further cost to yourself. For the reasons mentioned above, this is an example of why we highly recommend not booking an installer until goods are received.
Can bulky goods be delivered in to my garden?
Where third-party couriers are used for bulky deliveries, the delivery is based on a kerb-side only service. However, certain drivers may be willing to help deliver on to your property at their discretion should the conditions allow this to be done safely and reasonably.
Any deliveries made beyond kerbside are done so strictly between the customer and the haulier.
Can I get the delivery craned into my garden or over a fence?
Unfortunately we don’t yet offer a hiab or crane vehicle delivery service.
Do I need to be home to accept delivery?
We do request that somebody is available at the address on the day of delivery. This is to help assist the driver with offload where required and also to ensure that the goods get delivered in good condition and there are no errors.
Should my installer be there for delivery?
We recommend that the installer isn’t booked in to fit the products until they have been delivered. This is to avoid any lost-time and associated costs should there be any unexpected issues or delays.
Are goods delivered together or separately?
As we supply products from different suppliers, and use different couriers for different product types, we can't guarantee that materials ordered together will arrive at the same time or on the same day.
How long does delivery take?
The most up-to-date delivery lead-times are listed on the product page and check out pages, but please see the below table as a general guide:

Please note, all lead times given are approximate and subject to availability.
How will I know my delivery date?
Once your order has been processed, and collected by the courier, we will provide tracking details once available.
For bulky deliveries, such as packs of paving and composite decking, etc. we arrange a 'book-in' service. When the courier has your order at your local depot, they should call to advise delivery date.
In any instance, feel free to get in touch if you have not had any delivery updates and we can request this information from the couriers and advise accordingly.
What if my delivery arrives damaged?
We ensure that all products are dispatched in a damage-free condition, however there is a chance that they become damaged during transportation.
Upon delivery, please check thoroughly for any damages before signing for receipt.
If you find that any of the goods are damaged, please note on the driver’s POD machine / paperwork “damaged”, take photos and let us know straight away so that we can resolve any issues. If you are unable to check for damages at the time of delivery, please sign as “unchecked” and check afterwards – advising us within 24 hours of any issues.
Any damages will need to be reported to the courier within 24 hours or else they will consider the delivery as accepted in a satisfactory condition.
Typically, broken pieces of paving, decking, etc. are often still usable and can be used for cut sections of the project. This is generally factored in to a 10% allowance for cuts, damage and wastage when measuring and ordering.
In any instance, taking photos and sending them to us at the earliest opportunity helps us to find the right solution. Delays in letting us know of any issues does make it difficult to establish cause and find a simple resolution.
There is an issue with my delivery. What should I do?
If you have any issues with your delivery, whether that be damages or errors, etc. please contact us straight away so we can find a quick resolution for you.
It is more difficult to deal with product issues once the product has been installed, so please contact us prior to using the goods in any way. If you feel that there is an issue with the product, yet you go ahead and install the product anyway, you are deemed as accepting of the goods and you may have less recourse afterwards.
If there has been a mistake with your order, the material arrives to site damaged, is faulty, not fit for purpose or not as described you have 30 days from the day of delivery to arrange a return.
Can I return my order if I change my mind?
You do have the right to cancel your order up to 14 days from the date the goods are delivered should you change your mind.
If you wish to exercise your right to cancel within 14 days, it is your responsibility to arrange the return haulage - please get in touch with us directly for us to advise the correct return address. The addresses listed on our site are postal address only. No products or offload facilities are available, so you would likely incur additional charges from the haulier for re-direction to the correct address.
The products must be returned in the same condition and original packaging that they were delivered in for a full refund or exchange for the materials.
We will issue your refund within 14 days of the goods being returned.
What if I need to return my order?
Hopefully you shouldn’t have to, but if for whatever reason you need to return your order, we can accept it providing the following:
- A request to return the goods is made within 14 days of receipt.
- The goods are in the original condition in which they were delivered.
- The products are not cut-to-size, split packs or bespoke in any way.
- The goods have not been used or installed in any way.
- The goods need to be easily accessible for a courier to collect in the same way they were delivered - i.e able to access and manoeuvre via pump truck for crates/pallets, otherwise the courier may refuse collection but costs are still incurred.
It is the responsibility of the customer to arrange the return at their expense.
Beyond the statutory 14 day returns/cancellation period, any returns which are accepted may be subject to a re-stocking charge.
If applicable, shortages, transport costs and split-pack costs incurred by Landscaping Direct may be deducted from the refund amount.
Once the returned products are received by us, they will be checked for condition and a refund arranged. Please allow up to 14 days for this process.
