Hard landscaping courses in the south?

Hi, been gardening for an age and finding I'm being asked to quote for more and more hard landscaping projects. So far alls gone well, and I'm well versed in the "theories" for laying paving, patios, paths, building dwarf walls, etc but would like to reconcile all that into some hands on training before I start charging customers for the service, so to speak. Does anyone have any ideas as to who might provide such training, to somehow fit in with my gardening rounds (I.e. Not an nvq year long thing)?

    Merrist Wood @ Guildford run a number of short 1 day courses covering specific landscaping and hort topics with many taking place during college holidays (ie in the summer and half terms).

    There are some scheduled for later this month (October half-term). Otherwise it's all NVQ based 1yr -3yr courses.

    I'm sure some of the other colleges (Sparsholt) do similar...

    • Thx muchly, looks very relevant :). Eastleigh and Sparsholt don't seem to offer hard landscaping courses, although I did find this place:

        Yes, I'm directly involved with LTG them but was trying to get next years calendar before responding. Glad to see the website is current :). The training is provided by experienced staff who have been there and done that !

  • About 7 years ago I did evening classes for bricklaying and patio laying through the council adult education scheme. That was in Medway Kent. Maybe worth checking your local councils
