Stourport-on-Severn sits where the canal meets the river, and that water shapes many of its gardens. Ground can be damp, trees are tall and views matter. We landscape gardens across Stourport-on-Severn, building patios, paths, lawns, fencing, borders, walls and steps for riverside homes, period houses and 20th century estates.
We plan the whole garden in one go so the parts fit together properly. Small jobs are as welcome as full makeovers, and whatever the size of the work, we always take the waste away with us when we leave.
Gardens close to the Severn or the canal can hold water, so we think about drainage before we think about looks. We check where water collects, set falls so it runs away from the house, and choose bases and surfaces that cope with wet weather rather than turning slippery, green or sinking over time. A firm base is the part nobody sees, and it is the part that decides whether a patio lasts.
Raised beds, gravel areas and well drained borders often suit these plots better than a flat expanse of lawn that stays boggy. We cannot make promises about floods or the river itself, but we can build a garden in Stourport-on-Severn that sheds ordinary rain well and is pleasant to use for most of the year. That is a realistic promise, and it is one we can keep.
Willows and other large riverside trees are part of the charm here, but they bring shade, leaf fall and thirsty roots. We design with them rather than against them. Paths and patios are positioned to avoid major roots, and planting is chosen to tolerate shade and moisture, such as ferns, hostas and shade-loving shrubs that cope with damp soil. A little thought here avoids sad, struggling plants.
If a tree has grown too close to the house or to the new layout, we also work on trees, so we can advise on pruning or removal before the landscaping starts. Doing the tree work first means nothing heavy comes down onto the finished garden afterwards, and the ground is not churned up twice. In Stourport-on-Severn, where space by the water can be tight, that sequence also keeps the job tidy.
Period houses in Stourport-on-Severn often want a garden with character, while newer estate homes may simply need a sociable patio and a low-effort lawn. We adapt the plan to the house and to how you live. We also cover Bewdley and Areley Kings, and each project ends with the site cleared and all waste removed. Tell us what you would like to do, and we will fit it to the plot.
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.

From our base in Hall Green we work across Birmingham, the Black Country, Solihull and parts of Worcestershire. Choose your area.
Yes, as long as drainage is dealt with first. We look at where water sits, set falls away from the house and use free-draining bases, raised beds or planting that tolerates wet ground, so the garden stays usable for most of the year, not just in a dry summer.
Shade-tolerant planting such as ferns, hostas, hellebores and woodland shrubs usually does well. We also choose surfaces that dry out reasonably quickly, because leaf fall and low light can leave paths slippery and green, which is a real hazard on steps and paths near water.
Yes, clearing is part of the job. We remove brambles, old fencing, rubble and rubbish, then reshape the ground. If large trees or hedges are in the way, we can deal with those first as well, so the whole site is ready for the new layout.
