People in Kings Heath often tell us the garden is the one room of the house they never quite finished. The patio is cracked, the lawn slopes the wrong way, or the fence leans after a windy night. Our landscaping in Kings Heath deals with those problems properly, and we plan every job so that new work sits comfortably beside what stays.
You do not need a huge budget of time or space to get a good result. Some of our jobs are a weekend-sized patio, others are a whole garden stripped back and rebuilt. Either way we explain the plan in plain terms, do the work ourselves and take every bit of waste away.
Around Kings Heath you find Victorian and Edwardian terraces next to inter-war semis, and the gardens vary just as much. Terrace gardens are often long and narrow, where a neat patio and a straight path do most of the work. Semis usually give you a little more width, which makes space for a lawn and a bordered bed, and sometimes room for a small seating corner too.
Tall conifers are common here, and they shape a garden more than people expect. They cast shade, dry the soil and can swallow a plot over time. Before designing anything we look at what is already growing, decide with you what earns its place, and plan paving and planting around the trees that remain rather than fighting them. Sometimes taking one down makes more difference than any amount of new planting.
A lawn that floods or a patio that tips toward the back door is nearly always a levels problem, and it is much easier to fix at the start than after the paving is down. We check the fall of the ground, dig out where needed and build a firm base so that water heads for the drain or the border instead of the house.
Edges matter too. Clean lines between lawn, gravel and paving make a Kings Heath garden look finished, and they stop turf creeping into beds. We use sturdy edging, set fence posts deep enough to cope with weather and finish steps and walls neatly. It is the small details done carefully that tend to make the whole job last, and they cost little extra time.
If you are only sure about one thing, such as a new fence or a bed cleared of weeds, start there and we can add to it later. Our Kings Heath landscaping always leaves room for the next stage. We also work in Moseley, Hall Green and Cotteridge, so tell us where you are and we will arrange a visit to measure up.

Yes, and narrow gardens can look excellent with the right plan. We often use a patio by the house, a straight or gently curved path and planting along the edges so nothing is wasted. We would check access first, as some terraces mean carrying materials through the house.
Often it is. Moss and dips usually point to shade, poor drainage or compacted soil, and re-seeding on its own will not cure those. We can level the ground, improve drainage where needed and lay new turf or seed. We would look at the cause first.
Start by deciding whether the conifers are worth keeping. If they are blocking light, they can be cut back or removed, and the stumps and waste cleared. We then plan lawn, paving or borders in the space they free up, so the garden feels bigger straight away.
