Your Local Cheltenham Landscaping & Gardening Experts
Trusted Landscapers & Gardeners Serving All Areas of Cheltenham
Cheltenham is home to a wide mix of properties — from elegant Regency and Victorian terraces in Montpellier, Pittville and Lansdown to family semis in Leckhampton and Hatherley, and modern new builds in The Reddings and Benhall. Each property type comes with different garden sizes, layouts and challenges. We work across the whole of Cheltenham, tailoring every project to the property, the ground conditions and how you actually want to use your outdoor space.
From full garden redesigns and landscaping projects to regular maintenance, driveway installations, patios, decking and fencing, we handle everything under one roof. We offer honest pricing, friendly service and results that genuinely last — not quick fixes that look good for a week and fall apart after the first heavy rain.

The local clay-heavy soil in many parts of Cheltenham affects drainage, lawn health and how well certain surfaces hold up over time. We take soil conditions, slopes and existing ground into account on every job — whether it’s preparing a sub-base for a patio in Charlton Kings, improving drainage before turfing in Warden Hill, or selecting the right materials for a driveway in Prestbury. You get practical advice based on local knowledge, not generic solutions.
We take a straightforward, honest approach with every job — clear communication, fair pricing and workmanship we’d be happy to have at our own homes. A lot of our work comes from repeat customers and word-of-mouth recommendations across Cheltenham, which says everything about how we operate. If you want a local team you can rely on, you’re in safe hands with us.
Professional Landscaping Services In Cheltenham
Cheltenham’s mix of Regency townhouses, Victorian villas, 1930s semis and modern new builds means no two gardens are the same. A compact courtyard behind a Montpellier terrace needs a completely different approach to a large sloping plot in Charlton Kings or Leckhampton. We design and build landscaping that suits the property, the space and how you actually use your garden — not a template layout copied from one job to the next.
From new patios laid in natural Cotswold stone or porcelain to raised sleeper beds, fresh lawns, gravel paths and full border planting, we handle every element of the project in-house. Many Cheltenham gardens sit on heavy clay soil that holds water and causes waterlogging — so proper drainage, ground preparation and material selection matter here more than most places. We build everything on solid groundwork designed to perform in local conditions.
We also understand Cheltenham’s soil types, slopes and drainage needs, which means we can design spaces that don’t just look great on day one but continue to perform well throughout the year.
Whether you’re renovating a tired garden in Pittville, adding a seating area to a new build in The Reddings, or completely redesigning a long rear garden in Prestbury, we’ll work with you to create something practical, attractive and built to last.

Gardener in Cheltenham
Reliable Year-Round Gardening & Maintenance
Cheltenham’s established gardens — from the mature hedgerows in Charlton Kings and Prestbury to the smaller, more structured plots in Lansdown and Benhall — all need regular upkeep to stay looking their best. We offer a full gardening service covering hedge trimming, pruning, lopping, topping and small-scale tree felling, tailored to the size and style of your garden.
We maintain gardens for homeowners, landlords and letting agents across Cheltenham — from weekly visits to keep things tidy through the growing season, to one-off clearances for overgrown plots that need bringing back under control. No matter the size of the job, we turn up on time, work safely and leave your garden clean and tidy before we go.
Regular maintenance is especially worthwhile in Cheltenham where mild, wet winters and warm summers mean hedges, lawns and borders grow quickly. Staying on top of it throughout the year prevents bigger, costlier jobs down the line.

Driveways in Cheltenham
Professional Driveway Installation Across Cheltenham
Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your Cheltenham home — and it has a real impact on kerb appeal, especially on the wide-fronted properties in areas like Leckhampton, Hatherley and Charlton Kings. We install all types of driveways across Cheltenham, from block paving and tarmac to resin, gravel and imprinted concrete, with proper excavation, sub-base preparation and drainage so the finished surface stays flat, stable and free-draining for years. We also advise on permeable paving options to ensure your new driveway complies with current SuDS drainage regulations where needed.
Here’s a breakdown of each driveway option so you can pick the one that suits your Cheltenham property and budget.
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.

Resin Driveways
Gravel Driveways

Patio & Path Installation in Cheltenham
Quality Patios and Garden Paths Built to Last
A well-designed patio can transform how you use your Cheltenham garden — whether it’s a sun-catching seating area behind a Regency terrace, a full outdoor dining space in a Leckhampton family garden, or a simple pathway connecting a lawn to a shed. We install patios and walkways across Cheltenham using solid groundwork, precise levels and materials that suit both the property style and the local ground conditions.
We work with porcelain, natural sandstone, Cotswold stone, concrete slabs and block paving — each offering a different look and price point. For period Cheltenham properties, natural stone tends to complement the existing architecture beautifully, while porcelain and large-format slabs suit modern homes with clean, contemporary layouts. Every patio is laid on a compacted sub-base with proper falls for drainage to prevent water pooling — critical on Cheltenham’s clay-heavy ground.
We also lift and relay sunken or uneven patios and replace cracked slabs where needed. Many older Cheltenham properties have patios that were laid without proper groundwork decades ago — rather than patching them, a full re-lay on a new sub-base often gives a better result for a similar cost.

Decking in Cheltenham
High-Quality Decking Installation Across Cheltenham
A well-built deck can turn an unused corner of your Cheltenham garden into a practical, welcoming space for relaxing, dining or entertaining. Many Cheltenham gardens — particularly the longer, narrower plots behind Victorian and Edwardian properties — have areas at the far end that go unused. Decking is an excellent way to create a level platform on uneven or sloping ground without the cost of full excavation. We work across Cheltenham designing and building decks that sit neatly within each garden’s layout, with strong foundations, clean finishing and attention to detail.
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 Cheltenham homes.
Wooden Decking
If you prefer something more natural, wooden decking brings warmth and character that works beautifully in almost any garden. We use high-quality, pressure-treated timber and build every deck on a strong, stable structure so it feels secure underfoot and stands up to the weather. Whether it’s a raised platform, steps, a seating area or a full garden layout, timber decking offers a timeless look that’s hard to beat.

Fencing in Cheltenham
Fencing installation services in Cheltenham
Good fencing plays a big role in privacy, security and the overall look of your garden. Across Cheltenham, we see everything from rotten panel fencing that’s blown down in storms to boundary disputes where a smart new fence can settle things clearly and neatly. We install high-quality fencing using strong posts set in concrete, durable panels or boards, and tidy workmanship that keeps everything straight, solid and built to last.
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. In conservation areas around Montpellier, Pittville and the town centre, there may be restrictions on front boundary fencing — we can advise on what’s permitted and suggest alternatives that meet the guidelines.
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.

Grass & Lawn Services in Cheltenham
Professional Turfing & Artificial Grass Installation in Cheltenham
A healthy, tidy lawn brings colour and life to any Cheltenham garden — but getting it right depends on proper preparation, especially on the clay-heavy ground common across much of the town. Whether you want a natural lawn that you can enjoy mowing and maintaining, or a low-maintenance artificial alternative that stays green year-round, we offer both turfing and artificial grass installations across Cheltenham, starting with the groundwork that makes the difference between a lawn that thrives and one that turns to mud within a year.
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.

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. In Cheltenham, we often find that the existing topsoil needs improving with added organic matter or drainage sand before turfing — particularly in lower-lying areas like Benhall and Warden Hill where water can sit after heavy rain. Getting this right at the preparation stage is what gives you a lawn that roots properly and stays green.fer 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.
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.

Garden Walls & Brickwork in Cheltenham
Garden Walls, Raised Beds & Brickwork Features
Quality brickwork adds structure, character and long-term strength to any garden — and in Cheltenham, it can also tie your outdoor space together with the period architecture of your property. Many of the town’s Regency and Victorian homes have original brick boundary walls, gate pillars and garden features that either need restoring or could be complemented with new matching brickwork. We build all types of garden walls, raised beds and brick features across Cheltenham, using materials and styles that suit the property.
We construct all types of garden walls across Cheltenham, 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.

Much of Cheltenham sits on clay-heavy soil, which can affect drainage, lawn health and how well certain plants establish. We take soil conditions into account on every job — whether that means improving drainage before laying turf, adding topsoil to raised beds, or choosing the right sub-base depth for patios and driveways. Proper ground preparation makes a big difference in this area.
