Take a look through our 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.

...Common questions
Every project is different, so there’s no single answer. It depends on the size of the space, the materials you choose, and how much groundwork is involved. As a rough guide, a new patio might start from around £1,500 for a smaller area, while a full garden renovation could be anywhere from £5,000 to £20,000+. We’ll always give you a clear estimate upfront so you know where you stand before any work begins.
It depends on the scale. A straightforward fencing job might take a couple of days. A new patio typically takes around a week. A full garden renovation with multiple elements could be two to three weeks or more. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe before we start and keep you updated if anything changes. Weather can push things back, especially in the wetter months, but we’d rather wait for the right conditions than rush and compromise the finish.
Most garden landscaping doesn’t need planning permission. Standard fencing up to 2 metres, patios, turfing, and general garden work are usually fine. The main exceptions are front garden paving over 5 square metres with non-permeable materials, fences over 2 metres (or over 1 metre next to a road), and anything in a conservation area or on a listed property. If you’re not sure, we can advise when we come and look at the space.
We’re based in Woodley, Reading, and work across the surrounding areas including Earley, Wokingham, Twyford, Caversham, Henley, and further afield when the project’s right. We prefer to keep things local so we can stay hands-on from start to finish.
You’ll deal with Mark from start to finish. He’s the one who comes to look at the job, gives you the estimate, and is on site throughout the project. Claire handles the planning and organisation behind the scenes. You’re not going to be passed around between sales people and project managers.
