Landscaping for Stratford-upon-Avon gardens, from period town houses and riverside plots to new-build estates, with clear planning on levels, drainage, paving and planting.
Stratford-upon-Avon is a Warwickshire market town on the River Avon, and its housing runs from historic streets to modern estates. That produces a wide spread of gardens: enclosed town plots, spacious older gardens and the standard rectangular lawns of newer developments.
We provide garden landscaping across the town and surrounding area. Our work includes complete makeovers, patio and path construction, borders, retaining walls and drainage. Each project begins with a free visit, so we can look at the plot, hear what you would like and explain what we think will work.
Older Stratford homes often come with gardens that have matured over many decades, with trees, hedges and established borders. A landscaping project there is usually about editing: opening up an area, repairing paths that have shifted and adding a terrace or seating spot that suits the age of the house. We try to keep what has value and rework what has not. Garden design and landscaping for a period house should feel like a natural extension of the building, so we spend time on proportion, materials and how the garden is approached from indoors.
A new-build garden is a blank canvas, and that is both an opportunity and a challenge. Soil is frequently compacted and short of topsoil, and fences are often the only structure. We build in layers: groundworks and drainage first, then a patio sized to your furniture, paths, and finally planting. Contemporary garden landscaping with clean lines suits modern houses, while curved borders can soften a boxy plot. Fencing, screening and raised beds add privacy and structure quickly, so the garden feels established sooner.
Close to the Avon, some low-lying gardens may stay wet through winter, and flood-prone plots need extra care in how surfaces and planting are chosen. We assess how water behaves in your garden, then plan drains, falls and soakaways as required. Where ground rises or falls, retaining walls and steps handle the change in level. Good groundwork is not glamorous, but it decides whether patios stay level, lawns dry out and borders thrive. We explain each element so you understand what the money is going toward.
We work in Stratford-upon-Avon and also cover Alcester, Shipston-on-Stour and Warwick. Because Stratford draws many visitors, central streets can be busy and parking limited, so we plan deliveries and skips with that in mind. In conservation-style areas it is worth checking whether any restrictions apply to boundary walls or fences before work is agreed. We are happy to discuss this at the visit, and to look at gardens on the edges of town as well as those in the middle.
We also take on garden landscaping work in nearby Alcester, Shipston-on-Stour, Warwick.

“Jim and Dan did a brilliant job on my 90ft conifer. Its a lot safer now and I have more light in the garden...”
“The boys did an excellent job... pruned my trees back and remove one tree that had split...”
“The guys were prompt & proffesional removed an old ash for me thanks guys”
Yes. Established trees and shrubs add value, so we design around them where we can, taking care with roots during digging. If something needs removing for safety or space, we discuss that with you first.
We look at how water moves across the plot and choose materials, levels and planting that cope with occasional wetness. We cannot remove flood risk, but sensible design can reduce the damage and make recovery easier.
Yes. Clean-edged paving, simple planting and structured layouts suit newer homes. We can also combine contemporary hard landscaping with softer planting, so the result feels modern but not stark.
