Your Go-To Landscape Gardener Nottingham for a Garden You Actually Want to Use
Living in Nottingham means two things: you get great neighbours, and you get weather that can't make up its mind. One minute it's sunny over in Wollaton Park, and the next it's pouring down in West Bridgford.
If you are looking for a landscape gardener Nottingham locals trust, you found us. We aren't here to use big fancy words or sell you things you don't need. We just want to help you fix your garden issues.
Our Landscape Gardening Services
We have worked on gardens from Arnold to Beeston, and we know exactly what works in this area.
Garden Design
Everything starts with a plan. You might think you need a massive estate to hire someone for design, but that's not true. Actually, small terrace gardens in places like Sherwood often need more planning to make the space work.
When we do Garden Design, we look at where the sun hits your garden and where the shade sits. We ask how you use the space. Do you have a dog? Kids? Do you just want to sit with a coffee in the morning? We take all that and draw up a plan that fits your budget. It helps to get this right on paper before we ever pick up a shovel.

Garden Clearance
Let's be honest. Sometimes life gets busy and the garden gets away from you. Next thing you know, you can't see the back fence. It happens to the best of us.
Our Garden Clearance service is usually the first step. We come in and clear out the brambles, the old broken pots, and the overgrown weeds. We take all the rubbish away, so you don't have to worry about trips to the tip. Once the ground is clear, you can actually see what you are working with. It is amazing how much bigger a garden looks once the junk is gone.
Garden Makeovers
Maybe you just want to rip it all out and start fresh. That is where our Garden Makeovers come in. This is for when you are tired of looking at the same old patio or patchy grass and want a total refresh.
We handle the whole project. We strip out the old stuff and bring in the new. Since we are a local landscape gardener Nottingham team, we know which suppliers have the best stone and timber nearby. We coordinate everything so you don't have to juggle different tradespeople.
Hard Landscaping
This is the "bones" of your garden. Hard Landscaping refers to the solid stuff—patios, paths, and decking. In Nottingham, because the ground can shift a bit with the wet winters, you need this done right.
If you don't put the right sub-base down, your patio will sink in a year or two. We make sure the foundations are rock solid. Whether you want Indian sandstone for a patio in Mapperley or simple block paving, we build it to last through the wet winters.
Soft Landscaping
Once the hard stuff is built, you need to make it look nice. Soft Landscaping is all about the living parts of the garden. This includes trees, shrubs, and flowers.
We don't just pick plants that look good in a photo. We pick plants that survive in Nottinghamshire weather. If you have a shady north-facing garden, we know what grows there. If you have sandy soil or heavy clay, we pick the right plants that won't die on you after a month.
Turfing
Everyone loves a real lawn, but laying turf isn't just rolling out green carpet. The most important part is what is underneath.
For Turfing, we spend most of our time prepping the soil. We rotovate the ground to break up that compaction, level it out so you don't have bumps, and add quality topsoil. Then we lay the fresh turf. We will also tell you exactly how to water it for the first two weeks so it takes root properly.

Let's face it, keeping grass green in the UK is hard work. If you have a dog that turns the lawn into a mud bath, or you just hate mowing, Artificial Grass Installation might be the answer.
The fake grass they make these days looks really real. It's not like the greengrocer stuff from the 90s. It's soft and drains water really well. This is super popular for families in Nottingham with busy schedules who just want the garden to look green all year round without the hassle.
Garden Sleepers Installation
Wooden sleepers are a great way to add structure to a garden without it looking too industrial. We do a lot of Garden Sleepers Installation to create steps, borders, or retaining edges.
We use treated timber that doesn't rot easily. They look great as they age and turn that nice silver-grey colour. It gives the garden a bit of a rustic, sturdy feel that fits well with many of the older Victorian houses around here.
Raised Bed Installation
If you want to grow your own veg or just save your back from bending over too much, you should think about raised beds.
Our Raised Bed Installation helps you control the soil quality. Since Nottingham soil can be heavy, a raised bed lets you fill it with perfect compost for growing carrots, tomatoes, or flowers. Plus, they look tidy and stop the grass from creeping into your flower patches.

Garden Edging
It is the small details that make a garden look finished. Garden Edging stops your lawn from growing into your path and keeps your gravel where it is supposed to be.
We can use brick, stone, metal, or timber. It makes mowing easier because you have a clean line to follow. If your garden looks a bit messy but you can't put your finger on why, it's usually because the edges aren't defined.
Retaining Wall Construction
Nottingham isn't exactly flat. A lot of gardens here are on a slope. Retaining Wall Construction is how we turn an unusable slope into flat, usable levels.
This is serious work. You need to make sure there is drainage behind the wall so water doesn't build up and push it over. We build walls using brick, stone, or sleepers that are strong enough to hold back the earth but still look good.
