Family homes in Castle Bromwich, many built between the wars and later, tend to have big gardens that have grown up with the household. Conifers have thickened, hedges have crept outwards and the lawn may be shaded or patchy. We landscape these gardens as a whole, clearing what no longer works and building surfaces, borders and boundaries that suit how the family uses the space today.
We are happy with a full redesign or a single improvement, such as a new patio or a rebuilt path. Every job ends with the waste taken away and the ground left tidy. We will walk the garden with you first and explain the order of work.
After a long time of family use, a garden often needs resetting. Play areas are no longer needed, a shed has rotted and the beds are overrun. We start by clearing back to a clean slate, keeping anything worth saving, then agree the new layout with you so the space works for the household as it is now. Nothing is thrown away without asking, so favourite shrubs and a good tree can stay.
With a large garden, the plan usually has three parts: a firm area near the house for sitting and eating, an open lawn with clean edges and planted borders along the boundaries. In Castle Bromwich the size of the plot means these can be generous, while still being simple to keep neat. A plan like this also makes it easy to carry out the work in stages if you prefer.
Mature conifers and tall hedges are a feature of many gardens in this part of the Birmingham and Solihull border. They give privacy, but they also cast shade and take moisture from the soil. Before landscaping, we look at what is worth keeping, what can be reduced and what would be better removed so the new garden has light. In Castle Bromwich we see this often, and we explain the options plainly so you can choose.
Once the planting has been dealt with, we can renew the boundaries. New fencing panels, a repaired run or a tidy hedge line frame the garden and make the finished landscaping look complete. We also match the fence line to any new borders and paths so everything meets cleanly at the edges. Gates can be added at the same time, so the boundary is secure and the finished garden looks complete.
We plan each landscaping job in Castle Bromwich so the order of work protects what is finished: groundwork first, then hard surfaces, then lawn and planting. We keep paths clear for access and take away turf, soil and cuttings as we go. We also cover Water Orton, Erdington and Sutton Coldfield, so just ask if you are close by.

From our base in Hall Green we work across Birmingham, the Black Country, Solihull and parts of Worcestershire. Choose your area.
Yes. We can cut conifers back, thin them or remove them where that makes sense, then clear the waste. Doing this first gives us light and room to work, and the new patio, lawn or borders have a much better chance of thriving.
We can strip the old lawn, improve the soil and lay new turf or prepare the ground for seed. If shade from conifers or hedges is the cause, we will suggest dealing with that first so the new lawn lasts.
Often yes. Working on both together saves disruption, because we can bring in materials once and finish the garden edges and surfaces as one plan. We will explain the order of work before we start, so you know what to expect.
