Who are we?

Pinewood Landscapes is run by Mark, with his wife Claire handling the planning and organisation behind the scenes. Based in Woodley, Reading we stay local, keep the team small, and stay involved from start to finish.

We tend to work best with homeowners who care about their space and value clear conversations over being rushed or sold to.

What we focus on:

Our services

Structural landscaping & groundworks

Sloping gardens, awkward levels, retaining walls, and steps all start here. Structural landscaping and groundworks shape how the space works, creating the base for everything that follows.

Driveways and patios

Spaces that need to work every day, from the drive up to the house to the patio out the back. Planned around access, levels, drainage, and how the space is actually used.

Fencing & boundary work

Privacy, security, and boundaries that feel properly finished. From replacing tired fencing to building new runs and defining awkward edges, this is the work that helps a garden feel secure and complete.

Full garden renovations

When the whole garden needs rethinking, this is where everything starts to come together. Levels, layout, materials, access, and finish all planned together, so the garden works properly as a whole.

Projects

A selection of recent work.

Wargrave Do-Over

This one started with a bad situation. The previous landscaper had been let go halfway through because the work wasn’t up to scratch, and the garden had been left in a real state. So before anything else, we had to earn the client’s trust, which meant being straight with her about what needed doing and letting the work speak for itself.

What started as a fix turned into a full garden overhaul. We laid new turf, put up close board fencing, built a patio and a separate seating area with a pergola, added raised beds with oak sleeper walls, laid a resin driveway, built a brick wall, put in steps, and sorted the drainage. Indian sandstone for the hard landscaping, oak sleepers throughout, and resin for the drive.

The project kept growing as we went because the client could see what was possible and trusted us to guide it. That relationship is what made this one stand out.

The Crowthorne Compass

This one’s actually two jobs done a year apart for the same client in Crowthorne, which says a lot. The first time round, Rob wanted a low-maintenance garden, so we took up the old lawn, laid it to shingle, and put in a circular Indian sandstone patio using Raj stone.

A year later he came back to us. There was a corner at the back where his hammock sat on rotten decking, and he wanted it shaped to tie in with the main patio we’d already built. We used Marshalls Perfecta smooth buff paving with Raj sets as a picture frame edge and charcoal high kerbs for the seating area. The tricky bit was access, the property sits on a private track so we couldn’t get deliveries in the usual way, but we worked around it.

Good to see the original garden still in full use and looking the part a year on.

The Cedar Boardwalk

A full back garden makeover in Woodley, stripping everything back to a clear base and building it up from scratch. The old garden was tired and needed a fresh start, so we ripped it all out and laid new hardwood decking with turfed areas and neatly edged borders throughout.

One of the standout details on this one was a custom-built gate. 7ft tall but narrow, which isn’t something you can buy off the shelf. We built it from scratch on site to fit the space properly. The finished result is a clean, modern garden that the client can actually use and enjoy.

Dogs Dream

The client had just bought extra land from his neighbour, nearly doubling the size of his garden. He had a clear idea of what he wanted: separate areas for different uses. Somewhere to sit and entertain, a planting area so he could give up his allotment, and a big stretch of lawn for the dog to run around on.

We designed the whole garden around a 50-year-old apple tree that was already there, using it as the centrepiece. From the main patio, we created pathways leading out to raised oak planter beds with gravel around them for a natural feel. The ground was all over the place with different levels throughout, so there was a lot of groundwork needed before we could start building anything up. We used Indian sandstone fossil slabs for the patio, oak sleepers for the raised beds, and close board panel fencing with concrete gravel boards and posts to retain the new garden boundary.

The best part was watching the client showing it off to his mates and neighbours afterwards. He’s since added lighting around the beds, so it looks the part in the evenings too.
