Stourbridge is hilly, and a lot of its gardens slope, step or sit among mature trees. Good landscaping here starts with the ground itself. We design and build patios, paths, lawns, fencing, borders and walls for homes in Stourbridge, from period houses to 20th century estates, large or small.
Each job is planned as a whole, so levels, surfaces and planting work together, and nothing is built twice. We take on small repairs and complete garden makeovers alike, and the waste is cleared away when the work is finished, leaving the site tidy.
With the Clent and Hagley hills close by, many Stourbridge gardens are far from flat. A slope can make a garden awkward to use, but it can also make it interesting. We reshape the ground into usable terraces where that helps, with steps, walls or planted banks to hold the soil and look good through the seasons. Even a steep plot can become somewhere you want to sit.
Getting levels right matters for drainage as much as appearance. Water should run away from the house and patio, not collect against them. We set falls carefully, build firm foundations and use walls and steps that suit the house. It takes thought up front, but it saves a great deal of trouble later on, particularly after heavy rain, when a badly levelled garden shows up its faults.
Older parts of Stourbridge have well grown trees, and they influence everything beneath them: shade, roots, fallen leaves and damp ground. When we landscape under or beside trees, we choose surfaces and planting that cope with those conditions, and we avoid digging that would harm major roots or leave a tree unstable. Roots matter more than most people realise, and we respect them.
Where a tree needs attention before landscaping begins, we can look at that as well, since we also work on trees. Shady borders suit ferns, hostas and other plants that do not mind low light, and a well laid path stays safer underfoot when it is shaded and slightly damp for much of the year, so surface choice matters as much as the planting.
A Victorian villa and a post-war estate house want different gardens, and we shape the design to suit the property rather than repeating one layout. We lay patios, lawns, fences and gravel areas, and we also cover Amblecote, Pedmore and Wollaston. Small jobs are welcome, and every Stourbridge project finishes with the site swept and the waste taken away.
Based in Hall Green, so we are never far from the gardens we work in.
We look at the job before we price it, so you know what is involved.
Branches, clippings and rubbish from our jobs are cleared and the garden left tidy.

Yes. We reshape slopes into terraces or gentle banks, with steps and retaining walls where they help. The key is getting the foundations and drainage right first, so the finished garden feels safe, usable and stays stable for the long term.
We avoid heavy digging near main roots and choose surfaces that let the ground breathe. If a tree itself needs work before we start, we can look at that too and plan the two jobs together sensibly, in the right order.
We do. Walls and steps are common in Stourbridge because of the hills, and we build them to suit the house and the slope, with drainage behind walls so water does not push against them over time or cause bulging.
