Ward End is an east Birmingham suburb of inter-war and later houses, most with medium gardens and a few mature park trees nearby. That is a handy size for landscaping: big enough for a proper patio and lawn, small enough to finish tidily. We design and build gardens in Ward End, from a simple tidy-up to a full rebuild.
Levels, surfaces, fencing and planting are all planned together, so nothing clashes. Smaller jobs are just as welcome as makeovers, and when we leave, the waste goes with us. You will know what is happening at each step, and the finished garden will be easy to live with.
A medium garden gives you real options. In Ward End we often see a plain lawn with a thin border and a worn concrete path, and there is a lot that can be done with it. A good-sized patio by the back door, a stretch of lawn, a curved border and a proper path usually transform the feel of the whole plot.
We begin by asking what you want from the garden and who uses it. Children, pets, entertaining and quiet time all pull the layout in different directions, so we find a sensible balance. Then we sketch it out with you, so you are happy with the plan before any digging begins. Honest advice on what is worth doing comes as part of the service.
Whatever the garden looks like on top, what goes underneath decides how long it lasts. We check how water moves across your Ward End plot, remove soft or waterlogged ground where we have to, and build firm bases for patios and paths. A little care with falls keeps water off the house and the lawn from turning to mud. It is not exciting, but it is what separates a garden that lasts from one that sinks.
Where the ground needs reshaping, we can adjust levels and add steps or low walls. Fencing is set in firmly so panels do not lean after the first windy spell, and borders are cut and prepared with decent soil so new planting gets away well and does not struggle. We would rather spend time on preparation than come back to fix it.
Mature trees from Ward End Park and surrounding gardens bring birds and shade, and some leaf fall. We choose surfaces and planting that cope with that, and we can deal with overhanging growth through our tree work too. We also cover Stechford and Washwood Heath, and we always clear away all waste from the site. Nothing is left stacked at the side of the house.
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.
Usually a patio close to the house, a path that links it to the rest of the garden, a lawn and a planted border, with fencing mended or replaced. We tailor the mix to how you use the space.
Yes. We break out the old concrete, take it away, prepare a proper sub-base and lay new paving or another surface of your choice, so the result is level, drains properly and lasts. Nothing is left to settle or crack later.
Yes. We can plan the whole garden and build it in stages, for example the patio and fencing first and the borders later, so each stage fits and nothing has to be redone. That spreads the work without wasting any of it.
