Handsworth has large Victorian houses and long terraces, with big mature trees along many roads and some conservation areas. Gardens range from grand plots near Handsworth Park to compact backs behind terraced homes. We landscape them all with the same method: look at the space, agree a plan, build in the right order and leave the site clean with the waste taken away.
Jobs can be complete rebuilds or smaller improvements, such as a patio or a fresh path. We start with a conversation about how you use the garden, then agree a plan that suits the house, the access and the trees, before the work begins.
A large Victorian house in Handsworth often has a deep garden with old walls, uneven paths and overgrown borders. We can clear the ground, restore the paving and rebuild worn edges, then reshape the planting. The aim is a garden in proportion to the house, with firm surfaces and tidy lawns that are straightforward to look after. Where space allows, we also add a seat or terrace with a view of the nicest part of the garden.
Older houses suit traditional materials: brick, stone or gravel, with simple lines. We talk through the options and lay everything on a solid base so it lasts. If a garden has lost its structure, a clear layout of terrace, path and lawn can restore it without needing to start from nothing. We keep the work tidy and in proportion to the property.
Terraced homes in Handsworth often have narrow backs and little or no side access, so materials may need to come through the house. We protect floors, move things carefully and plan deliveries to keep disruption low. In a small space, paving, raised beds and built-in seating make the most of every metre. We also tell you where spoil will go while the work is underway.
Big mature trees are part of the area's character, and some sit in conservation areas. We take care with roots when we dig, and if a job involves pruning or removal, we tell you what to check first. Landscaping can usually go ahead around trees, with layouts designed to give them space. A thoughtful plan keeps the trees healthy and the garden attractive.
We start with groundwork, then hard surfaces, then lawn and planting, and we keep finished areas protected as we go. We explain each step so you know what is happening. We also work in Perry Barr, Great Barr, Smethwick and West Bromwich, and in Handsworth we always leave the garden clear of spoil and rubbish. Ask whenever you have a question.

Yes. We bring materials through the house when necessary, protecting floors and walls, and we plan deliveries to keep the disruption short. We explain how this will work before we begin, so there are no surprises on the day.
Often yes. We can lift and relay worn paths, rebuild steps and repair or rebuild low walls with materials that match the house, so the garden keeps its character and the surfaces are sound and level again. We keep the work tidy.
We plan the layout to protect it, digging carefully near the roots. If the tree is in a conservation area, we tell you to check on consent before any pruning, so everything is done properly. That protects the tree and your garden.
