Garden landscaping for Tenbury Wells and the Teme valley, covering patios, paths, planting and the drainage groundwork that low-lying border-country gardens often need before anything else.
Tenbury Wells is a small market town on the Teme, right on the edge of Worcestershire where it meets Shropshire. Gardens here range from town-centre plots to larger lawns on the outskirts, and the valley setting means ground can be damp in wet spells.
If you are thinking about changing your garden, the first job is to decide what it is for. A play space, somewhere to sit out, a vegetable patch and an easy-care front garden all lead to different layouts. SPR Trees and Landscapes will visit Tenbury Wells, talk it through and prepare a free quote in plain language.
Complete garden landscaping starts well before any digging. We look at sun and shade through the day, the view from the windows, where the family really walks, and what you want to keep. Mature shrubs and trees are often worth working around. From there we agree a rough layout, then break the work into stages: clearing, levels and groundworks, hard surfaces, fencing or boundaries, and finally planting and turf. For larger gardens on the edge of town, it can be sensible to do the work in phases so the whole space is not out of action at once and the budget can be spread.
A patio is only as good as the ground beneath it. In a valley town we pay close attention to base depth and drainage, as soft or wet soil can let paving settle. Paths between house, shed and lawn should be firm enough to use in winter, which is why a proper edge restraint and compacted sub-base matter more than the surface material. Where a garden has a noticeable slope, a couple of broad steps or a short retaining wall can make it far more usable. Decking is an alternative on awkward ground, though it needs ventilation and occasional treatment.
Damp soil need not be a problem if you plan for it. Some plants like moisture, many do not, so we match the planting to what your garden is really like instead of forcing a wish list onto it. Where water lies on the surface, the answer might be a soakaway, a land drain, a raised bed or simply improving the soil with organic matter. We will tell you what we find when we dig a few test holes and what each fix involves. Good borders are layered, with evergreen structure at the back, seasonal colour in the middle and low cover at the front.
We cover Tenbury Wells and the countryside around it, and regularly work in Ludlow, Leominster, Bromyard and Bewdley. The town sits where Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Shropshire meet, so rural lanes and longer drives are part of the job. Access for lorries can be tight in older streets, and in outlying properties we plan deliveries carefully. If your property is close to the river, tell us when you call, because that changes how we think about levels and drainage. We offer free quotations and honest advice, including when we think a job is not worth doing yet.
We also take on garden landscaping work in nearby Ludlow, Leominster, Bromyard, Bewdley.

“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”
Often, yes, but it depends on why it is wet. Compacted soil, clay, a high water table or runoff from a neighbouring slope each need a different fix. We check on site and explain the options before any work begins.
Yes, and many people prefer it. A sensible order is groundworks and drainage first, then patio and paths, then boundaries, with planting last. Splitting the job lets you spread the spending and keep part of the garden usable.
We do. A new path, a few steps, a raised bed or a tidied border are all reasonable jobs. Tell us what you need and we will say honestly whether it makes sense to combine it with other work.
