Many homes around the Warwick Road in Acocks Green have a generous back garden that has slowly got away from its owners. Overgrown borders, a tired lawn, a cracked path and a leaning fence often turn up together. We landscape the whole space as one plan, so each part suits the next and nothing is done twice.
A job can be a full makeover or a few smaller changes, such as a new seating area or a tidy border. We are based in Hall Green, close by, and we take all the waste away when we finish, leaving the garden clean and ready to use.
Inter-war semis and terraces in Acocks Green usually come with a long, narrow plot behind the house. That shape is useful, because it lets us split the garden into zones: a hard surface near the back door for chairs and a table, a lawn in the middle and planting, a shed or a vegetable area at the far end. Each zone gets its own surface and edge, so the garden reads as a series of rooms.
Before any digging we look at how the garden is used, where the sun falls and which trees and conifers are staying. Mature garden trees and tall hedges are common in this part of Birmingham, so we plan around their roots and shade rather than fight them. We say plainly what is workable and what would cause trouble later, then agree the plan with you.
Landscaping covers clearing the ground, reshaping levels, laying patios and paths, putting down lawns, building walls and steps, and fitting fencing and borders. In Acocks Green we are often asked to replace worn concrete with paving, to level a sloping lawn near the house, or to tidy overgrown beds along a boundary. Waste is loaded and taken away, so nothing is left in a pile at the bottom of the garden.
Gravel areas and fresh planting suit gardens where the owner wants less upkeep. We lay a proper base under hard surfaces so they stay level, and we shape lawn edges and borders so the finished garden looks tidy and is simple to maintain through the seasons. If you want only part of this done now, we can plan it so the rest fits in later.
A makeover in Acocks Green does not have to take over the house. We agree the order of work with you, keep access clear where we can and move materials carefully through side passages, which are often narrow on terraces. We also cover Hall Green, Yardley and Solihull, so we are rarely far away if you want to talk something through.

Yes, narrow plots are very common here and we work with them often. We usually divide the length into zones, such as a patio, a lawn and a planted end, so the garden feels larger and every part has a use rather than being one long strip.
We plan the layout around any trees you want to keep, taking care with roots and shade when we choose surfaces and planting. If a conifer or hedge is causing a problem, we can talk through trimming or removal as part of the same job.
We do both. Some customers want a full redesign, others only a new path, a section of fencing or a tidy border. Tell us what you have in mind and we will suggest a sensible way to do it, however small the scope.
