Gloucestershire Landscaping & Gardening Services
Professional Landscaping & Gardening Services You Can Rely On
If you’re looking for reliable landscaping or gardening services anywhere in Gloucestershire, we’re here to help. We work right across the county — from Gloucester and Cheltenham to Stroud, Cirencester and the towns and villages in between — creating tidy, long-lasting outdoor spaces, from driveways and decking to turfing, garden maintenance and full garden makeovers.
Landscaping & Gardening Experts Covering All of Gloucestershire
Gloucestershire is one of the most geographically diverse counties in England, and that diversity shows in its gardens. The Cotswold Hills rising across the east and south bring thin, stony limestone soil, honey-coloured period properties and sloping plots that need careful terracing. The flat Severn Vale running through the centre produces heavier clay ground, larger garden plots and a wide mix of post-war and modern housing. And across Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and their surrounding suburbs, you’ll find everything from Regency terraces with compact rear gardens to new-build family homes with open-plan layouts. We work across all of it, every day.
From driveways and patios to decking, fencing, turfing, garden maintenance and complete redesigns, every job is completed with care, proper groundwork and attention to local conditions. Materials and methods that work on free-draining Cotswold brash around Cirencester don’t always work on the heavy alluvial clay near the Severn floodplain, and a steep hillside garden in Stroud needs a different approach entirely to a flat suburban plot in Quedgeley or Churchdown. We assess the ground on every project and build accordingly.
Whether you’re after a simple garden tidy-up or a full outdoor transformation, we offer honest pricing, friendly service and results built to last. For advice or a free quote anywhere in Gloucestershire, call 0800 656 9671, 01452 899 402 or 07593 952 715 — we’re always happy to help.
We’re based in Gloucester and travel across the county daily, covering Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Tewkesbury, Churchdown, Bishops Cleeve, Quedgeley, Stonehouse, Dursley, Nailsworth and all surrounding villages. Many properties across the eastern and southern parts of the county fall within the Cotswolds National Landscape (formerly the AONB), which can affect what materials, structures and boundary treatments are permitted. We’re familiar with these considerations and can advise before any work begins.
Landscaping Services Across Gloucestershire — From the Cotswolds to the Severn Vale
No two Gloucestershire gardens are the same. A compact walled courtyard behind a Regency townhouse in Cheltenham needs a completely different approach to a sloping hillside plot in the Stroud valleys, a wide family garden in Quedgeley or Churchdown, or a Cotswold stone cottage plot on the edge of Cirencester. We listen to what you want and design landscaping that suits the property, the ground conditions and how you actually use your outdoor space.
From patios and pathways to raised beds, retaining walls, new lawns, borders and full garden redesigns, we handle every element in-house. We work with natural Cotswold stone, porcelain, Indian sandstone, block paving, sleepers and modern composite materials — choosing what fits the setting and the budget rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach across the county.
Ground conditions across Gloucestershire vary enormously, even within a few miles. The thin Cotswold brash around Cirencester and the eastern villages drains fast but offers shallow root depth and is hard to excavate. The heavier clay around Gloucester, Churchdown and the Vale is fertile but prone to waterlogging through autumn and winter. The steep valley sides around Stroud require careful terracing and drainage design. We assess the soil and terrain on every project and prepare the ground properly — because what works on Cotswold limestone doesn’t work on Severn Vale clay.
Whatever the size of your garden and wherever you are in Gloucestershire, we’ll create a space you can feel proud of for years to come.

Gardening & Maintenance Services Across Gloucestershire
Reliable Year-Round Gardening & Maintenance
Gloucestershire’s mild, wet climate means gardens across the county grow quickly through the spring and summer months. Hedges thicken fast, borders fill out within a season, lawns need regular attention from March through to October, and overgrown spaces can become unmanageable surprisingly quickly if left. We offer a full gardening service county-wide — hedge trimming, pruning, lopping, topping and small-scale tree felling — all carried out safely and with care.
We maintain gardens for homeowners, landlords and busy families across Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Tewkesbury, Churchdown, Stonehouse, Quedgeley and beyond. The established gardens around Cheltenham’s Victorian villas and Stroud’s hillside cottages often have mature hedging, specimen trees and deep borders that benefit from regular seasonal care, while modern estates around Brockworth, Hucclecote and Bishops Cleeve tend to need simpler lawn and border maintenance. We tailor our service to each garden’s needs.
Whether it’s a fortnightly visit to keep things in shape, a seasonal pruning schedule, or a one-off clearance to bring a neglected garden back under control, we turn up on time, work efficiently and leave everything clean and tidy. Our visits scale with the seasons — more frequent through the growing months and reduced over winter when growth slows and the focus shifts to tidying, pruning and preparation.

Driveway Installation Across Gloucestershire
Professional Driveway Installation Across Gloucestershire
Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your home. Whether you want something decorative to complement a Cotswold stone frontage, a clean modern finish for a new-build property, or a hard-wearing surface for a busy family household, we install all types of driveways across Gloucestershire. Ground conditions vary significantly across the county — from rocky limestone in the Cotswold hills to softer clay in the Severn Vale — so proper excavation, sub-base preparation and drainage design are essential on every job, regardless of the surface material you choose. Here’s a breakdown of each option.
Block Paving Driveways
Block paving is ideal if you want a decorative driveway with plenty of choice. You can pick from different colours, patterns and styles to match the look of your property. It’s a durable option and easy to repair in small sections if needed.
Tarmac Driveways
Resin Driveways
Gravel Driveways
Gravel is particularly popular across the Cotswold parts of Gloucestershire, where local Cotswold aggregate gives a warm, honey-toned finish that complements period stone properties. It also works well for longer rural driveways around Stroud, Cirencester and the surrounding villages where a formal surface would feel out of place.
Imprinted Concrete Driveways
If your driveway covers more than five square metres of front garden and drains onto the road, planning regulations require a permeable surface or a drainage solution. This applies across the county, and we’ll talk you through your options during your free quote to make sure everything complies.

Patio & Path Installation Across Gloucestershire
Quality Patios and Garden Paths Built to Last
A new patio or path can completely change how your garden flows and how much time you spend outdoors. We install patios and walkways across Gloucestershire using strong sub-bases, smart layouts and durable materials — whether it’s a dining terrace behind a Cheltenham townhouse, a level seating area carved into a sloping Stroud garden, or a simple wraparound path at a family home in Quedgeley.
We offer porcelain, natural Cotswold stone, Indian sandstone, concrete and block paving depending on the setting and budget. Cotswold stone patios suit period properties throughout the eastern part of the county beautifully, while porcelain and modern materials work well on new-build developments around Gloucester and Bishops Cleeve. Every patio is laid with proper falls and drainage — particularly important across the Severn Vale where heavier clay ground holds surface water if levels aren’t right.
We also repair or replace older patios that have become uneven, sunken or moss-covered over time. If yours has settled due to poor original groundwork, tree root movement or ground heave on clay soil, we’ll assess the cause, prepare the base properly and relay it so it stays level for the long term.

If you’re thinking about a new patio or garden path, or you’d like us to revive an old one, we’d be glad to offer ideas and a free quote. Just contact us on 0800 656 9671, 01452 899 402 or 07593 952 715, and we’ll arrange a time to visit your garden.
Decking Installation Across Gloucestershire
High-Quality Decking Installation Across Gloucestershire
At SJS Landscaping & Gardening, we design and install decking that genuinely improves how you use your garden. Decking works well across a wide range of Gloucestershire properties — from creating level platforms on Stroud’s steep hillside gardens, to adding entertaining areas behind Cheltenham period homes, to simple sun decks at modern family homes in Churchdown, Brockworth or Hucclecote. We build every deck on strong foundations with clean finishing and proper attention to detail, wherever you are in the county.
Composite Decking
Composite decking is ideal if you want a modern, low-maintenance option that stays looking good year after year. It doesn’t rot, splinter or warp, and it doesn’t need painting or staining, making it perfect for busy families or anyone who simply wants a smart, durable outdoor space without the upkeep. We offer a range of colours and finishes to suit both contemporary and traditional Gloucestershire homes.

Fencing Services Across Gloucestershire
Strong, Secure Fencing for Gloucestershire Gardens
Good fencing plays a big role in privacy, security and the overall look of your outdoor space. We install high-quality fencing across Gloucestershire, using strong posts, durable materials and tidy workmanship on every job. Ground conditions vary across the county — rocky limestone in the Cotswold hills makes post installation harder and requires proper tools and deeper foundations, while softer clay in the Vale can shift seasonally, so post stability and drainage around the base both matter. We adjust our approach to suit local conditions on every project.
We offer all popular fencing styles, including feather-edge boards, panel fencing, picket fencing and post-and-rail options. Each style works differently depending on your garden layout, the level of privacy you want and the appearance you’re aiming for. We’re always happy to talk through these options and help you choose something that fits your property perfectly.
As well as new installations, we also handle repairs to existing fences that have been damaged by storms, rot or age. Every fencing project includes careful alignment, secure fixings and proper post installation.
Parts of Gloucestershire fall within the Cotswolds National Landscape or within local conservation areas — particularly around Cirencester, Cheltenham, Stroud and the Cotswold villages — where there may be restrictions on fence height, style or materials. We’re familiar with these requirements and can advise on practical options that meet both your needs and any planning constraints.

Turfing & Artificial Grass Across Gloucestershire
Professional Turfing & Artificial Grass Installation in Gloucestershire
A healthy lawn can transform the look and feel of your garden. Whether you want fresh natural turf or a low-maintenance artificial alternative, we install both across Gloucestershire. Lawn success depends heavily on ground preparation, and conditions across the county range widely. The thin Cotswold brash around Cirencester and the eastern villages drains fast but can dry out quickly in summer, so turf needs extra topsoil depth to establish properly. The heavier clay across the Severn Vale holds moisture well but can waterlog through winter if drainage isn’t addressed. We assess the soil on every job and prepare the ground accordingly.
Turfing
Fresh turf is the quickest way to give your garden an instant lift. We remove old grass, level the ground and add topsoil where needed before laying high-quality turf for a smooth, healthy new lawn. It’s a great option if you prefer the natural look, enjoy maintaining your garden or want a lawn that blends beautifully into borders, planting and landscaping. With the right preparation, your new turf will root quickly and grow into a strong, even lawn.
Across Gloucestershire, we adjust our turfing approach to local conditions — adding extra topsoil on thin Cotswold ground around Cirencester and Stroud, and improving drainage on heavier clay plots around Gloucester, Churchdown and Tewkesbury — so your new lawn performs well in all seasons, not just the first few weeks.
Artificial Grass
Artificial grass is ideal if you’re looking for a low-maintenance lawn that stays green, clean and usable all year round. Modern artificial grass looks realistic and feels soft underfoot, making it perfect for families, pets and shaded gardens where real grass struggles to grow. It drains well, avoids muddy patches and eliminates mowing, making it a popular choice for busy households or anyone wanting a tidy finish without the upkeep.
Artificial grass is a popular choice across the county — from shaded hillside gardens in Stroud where natural grass struggles, to clay-heavy plots around Gloucester that turn to mud every winter, to Cotswold properties where thin soil makes lawn maintenance a constant battle.

Garden Walls & Brickwork Across Gloucestershire
Garden Walls, Raised Beds & Brickwork Features
Quality brickwork adds structure, character and long-term strength to any garden. Across Gloucestershire, we build garden walls, raised beds, retaining structures and decorative features using materials that suit the property and its surroundings. In the Cotswold areas around Cirencester, Stroud and the surrounding villages, that often means sourcing reclaimed or matching Cotswold stone to blend with the local honey-coloured architecture. In Gloucester, Cheltenham and the surrounding suburbs, standard brick, block and render are more common and we match accordingly. Every wall is built on proper foundations with appropriate drainage — particularly important on sloping Cotswold sites where retaining walls need to handle soil pressure and water run-off safely.
We construct all types of garden walls across Gloucestershire, from neat boundary walls to decorative brick features that tie your outdoor areas together. If your garden has different levels, we can install retaining walls that hold back soil safely and allow you to create more usable spaces such as seating areas, terraces or raised planting zones.
Raised beds and planter walls are another popular option, adding depth and structure to borders while making gardening easier to manage. We can match existing materials or create something completely new, depending on the look you want.
If you already have older brickwork that’s leaning, cracked or damaged, we also carry out repairs and rebuilds. In many cases, fixing a section of wall can bring the whole area back to life without needing a full replacement.

Gloucestershire Landscaping & Gardening FAQ
If you’ve got questions about our services, the process or what to expect, the FAQs below should help – and if you need anything else, just give us a call.
We're working across Gloucestershire most days — covering Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester and the towns in between — so we can usually arrange a site visit within a day or two. We'll give you honest advice and a free, no-obligation quote during the visit.
Yes — all quotes are completely free, no matter where you are in the county. Just call 0800 656 9671, 01452 899 402 or 07593 952 715, and we'll arrange a time to visit. You can also fill out the contact form on this page.
We cover the whole county. Our main areas are Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud and Cirencester, but we also regularly work in Tewkesbury, Churchdown, Bishops Cleeve, Quedgeley, Stonehouse, Dursley, Nailsworth, Brockworth, Hucclecote, Cam, Painswick, Minchinhampton and all surrounding villages. If you're anywhere in Gloucestershire, give us a call and we'll confirm.
Absolutely. The right materials depend on your property, garden and location. A Cotswold stone patio suits a period cottage near Cirencester but might not be the right choice for a modern home in Quedgeley. Whether it's decking, driveways, fencing, turf or garden walls, we'll visit your property, assess the conditions and advise on the options that fit your garden, lifestyle and budget.
Yes — on every job, across the county. All waste, old turf, broken fencing, soil, rubble and leftover materials are removed as part of the project. We leave your garden tidy and ready to enjoy, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.
We do — from initial design discussions and ground preparation through to patios, lawns, decking, planting, fencing and finishing touches. We handle the entire project in-house so you deal with one team from start to finish, whether the garden is in Cheltenham, Stroud, Gloucester or anywhere else in the county.
Yes — all work is fully insured for your peace of mind, regardless of the size of the project or where in Gloucestershire we're working.
Definitely. Gloucestershire has a huge mix of garden sizes — from compact courtyards behind Cheltenham's Regency terraces and narrow rear plots in Stroud's valley townhouses to larger suburban gardens around Quedgeley, Churchdown and Bishops Cleeve. We're experienced in making the most of smaller spaces with multi-level designs, vertical planting and space-saving materials.
Yes — we install porcelain, natural Cotswold stone, Indian sandstone, concrete, block paving and mixed-material patios. The material choice often depends on the property style and location within Gloucestershire — for example, natural stone tends to suit Cotswold properties while porcelain works well on modern builds. Every patio is laid on solid groundwork with proper levels and drainage.
It depends on your property, budget and how you use the space. Block paving is decorative and suits both period and modern homes. Tarmac is durable, affordable and popular across suburban estates. Gravel works beautifully with Cotswold stone properties and rural settings. Resin offers a premium modern finish, and imprinted concrete gives the look of stone without the cost. We're happy to visit anywhere in Gloucestershire, assess your space, and recommend the option that works for your property and budget.
Start times vary depending on the type of project, the season and our current workload across the county. We'll always give you a clear expected start date when we quote, and we keep you updated if anything changes. Most smaller jobs can be booked within a week or two; larger landscaping projects may take a little longer to schedule.
Almost certainly yes. We work right across the county, not just the main towns. We regularly visit Tewkesbury, Stroud, Cirencester, Stonehouse, Dursley, Nailsworth, Bishops Cleeve, Churchdown, Quedgeley, Cam, Painswick, Minchinhampton and all surrounding villages. If you're anywhere in Gloucestershire, give us a call and we'll confirm.
Significantly. The Cotswold hills around Cirencester and the eastern villages have thin, stony soil over limestone that drains fast but offers little root depth — great for drainage but challenging for lawns and planting. The Severn Vale around Gloucester, Churchdown and Tewkesbury has heavier clay that holds water and can waterlog in winter. The steep valleys around Stroud have a mix of both plus significant gradient to manage. We assess the soil and terrain on every project and adjust our groundwork, drainage and material choices accordingly.
In some areas, yes. A large part of east and south Gloucestershire falls within the Cotswolds National Landscape (formerly the AONB), and there are numerous conservation areas — particularly around Cirencester, Cheltenham town centre, Stroud and many Cotswold villages. These designations can affect fencing, outbuildings, boundary walls and sometimes even hard landscaping materials. We're familiar with these restrictions and can advise on what's likely to need planning permission and what materials will be appropriate before any work starts.
