Cirencester Landscaping & Gardening Services
Professional Landscaping & Gardening Services You Can Rely On
If you’re looking for reliable landscaping or gardening services in Cirencester, we’re here to help. We work across the town and surrounding Cotswold villages creating tidy, long-lasting outdoor spaces — from driveways and decking to turfing, garden maintenance and full garden makeovers.
Local Cirencester Landscaping & Gardening Experts
Often called the “Capital of the Cotswolds”, Cirencester is a historic market town with a distinctive mix of property types — from Grade II listed Georgian townhouses and Victorian villas around Dollar Street and The Avenue, to Cotswold stone cottages in Stratton, 1930s family homes on The Mead, and modern developments in Kingshill and Chesterton. Each garden has its own character, and we tailor every project to the property, the plot and the ground beneath it.
From driveways and patios to decking, fencing, turfing and full garden redesigns, every job is completed with care, proper groundwork and attention to detail. Cirencester sits on the Cotswold limestone plateau, which means most gardens here have thin, stony, free-draining soil — often referred to locally as Cotswold brash. That’s great for drainage but challenging for planting and lawn establishment if the ground isn’t prepared properly. We understand these conditions and work with them on every job.
Whether you’re after a simple refresh or a complete garden makeover, we offer honest pricing, friendly service and results built to last. For advice or a free quote for any work in Cirencester, call 0800 656 9671, 01452 899 402 or 07593 952 715 — we’re always happy to help.
Much of Cirencester falls within the Cotswolds National Landscape (formerly the AONB), and the town itself contains a large conservation area covering the historic centre. If your property is affected by either designation, we can advise on suitable materials, boundary treatments and landscaping approaches that complement the local character and avoid unnecessary planning complications.
Landscaping Services Across Cirencester
Cirencester’s broad mix of properties means gardens here come in every shape and size. A compact walled courtyard behind a listed townhouse in the town centre needs a completely different approach to a wide, open plot in Kingshill or a long rear garden on one of the family estates around Chesterton. We listen to what you want and design landscaping that suits the property, your lifestyle and the space you have to work with.
From patios and pathways to raised beds, new lawns, borders, steps and retaining features, we handle all types of landscaping with care and proper workmanship. Natural Cotswold stone works beautifully in many Cirencester gardens — it complements the town’s honey-coloured architecture and weathers well — but we also work with porcelain, Indian sandstone, sleepers and modern materials depending on the look and budget.
The Cotswold brash soil around Cirencester is typically shallow, stony and alkaline. While it drains well — meaning waterlogging is rarely a problem — the thin topsoil can make planting and turf establishment harder without proper soil preparation. We improve the ground before planting, adding depth and organic matter where needed so borders fill out properly and lawns establish strong root systems.
Whether you’re landscaping a new-build plot in The Steadings, renovating a tired garden in Watermoor or adding a seating area to a cottage garden in Stratton, we’ll create something practical, attractive and built for the long term.

Gardening in Cirencester
Reliable Year-Round Gardening & Maintenance
Cirencester’s sheltered position and lime-rich soil encourage strong growth throughout the growing season — hedges thicken quickly, borders fill out, and lawns need regular attention from spring through to autumn. We offer a full gardening service to keep everything looking tidy and well-managed, including hedge trimming, pruning, lopping, topping and small-scale tree felling.
We work across Cirencester maintaining lawns, borders, hedges and overgrown gardens for homeowners, landlords and busy families. Many of the older properties around the town centre, Stratton and The Beeches have established gardens with mature hedging, specimen trees and deep mixed borders that benefit from regular seasonal care. Whether it’s a fortnightly visit to keep things in shape or a one-off clearance to bring a neglected garden back under control, we turn up on time, work safely and leave everything clean and tidy.
Our gardening service is ideal if you want to enjoy your outdoor space without spending every weekend maintaining it — particularly useful for Cirencester homeowners who travel regularly or manage rental properties in the area.

Driveways in Cirencester
Professional Driveway Installation Across Cirencester
Your driveway plays a big part in how your home looks and feels day to day. Whether you want something decorative to complement a Cotswold stone frontage or a clean, practical surface for a busy family home, we install all types of driveways across Cirencester with proper groundwork, strong materials and a finish that lasts. The limestone sub-soil around Cirencester generally provides a stable base for driveways, but the stony ground can be harder to excavate and compact evenly — so proper preparation matters. 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 a particularly popular choice in Cirencester, where it suits the character of Cotswold stone properties and blends naturally with the surrounding countryside. Local Cotswold aggregate gives a warm, honey-toned finish that complements period homes.
Imprinted Concrete Driveways
If your driveway covers more than five square metres of your front garden and drains onto the road, planning regulations may require a permeable surface or a drainage solution to manage surface water. We’ll talk you through this during your free quote and make sure everything complies.

Patio & Path Installation in Cirencester
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 Cirencester using strong sub-bases, smart layouts and durable materials designed to last — whether it’s a dining terrace behind a period townhouse, a seating area at a new-build in Kingshill, or a clean garden path connecting the house to an outbuilding.
Cotswold stone paving is a natural choice for many Cirencester gardens, tying in with the town’s honey-coloured architecture. We also offer porcelain, Indian sandstone, concrete and block paving depending on the look and budget. The well-drained limestone ground around Cirencester provides a stable base for paving, but the stony sub-soil needs proper excavation and compaction to prevent settlement over time — something we take care of on every project.
We also repair or replace older patios that have become uneven, sunken or moss-covered. If your existing patio has shifted due to poor original groundwork or tree root movement, 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 in Cirencester
High-Quality Decking Installation Across Cirencester
At SJS Landscaping & Gardening, we design and install decking that genuinely improves how you use your garden. A well-built deck is a great option for Cirencester gardens — whether you want a level outdoor dining area behind a period property, a sun deck at the back of a new-build, or a raised platform to make the most of a south-facing plot. We work across the town creating decks that blend neatly into each garden, built on strong foundations with 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 Cirencester homes.

Fencing Services in Cirencester
Strong, Secure Fencing for Cirencester Gardens
Good fencing doesn’t just mark the edge of your garden — it plays a big role in privacy, security and the overall look of your outdoor space. We install high-quality fencing across Cirencester, using strong posts, durable materials and tidy workmanship to make sure everything is straight, solid and built to last. The stony limestone ground around Cirencester can make post installation more difficult than in softer soils — we use the right tools and techniques to set posts deep and secure, even in rocky conditions.
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.
If your property falls within the Cirencester Conservation Area or the wider Cotswolds National Landscape, there may be restrictions on fence height, style or materials — particularly for front boundaries or properties visible from the streetscape. We’re familiar with these requirements and can help you choose something that works practically while respecting any planning constraints.

Grass & Lawn Services in Cirencester
Professional Turfing & Artificial Grass Installation in Cirencester
A healthy, tidy lawn can completely transform the look and feel of your garden. Whether you want a natural lawn or a low-maintenance alternative that stays neat year-round, we offer both turfing and artificial grass installations across Cirencester. The thin Cotswold brash soil around the town drains quickly, which keeps lawns from waterlogging but also means turf can dry out fast during warmer months. Proper ground preparation — adding topsoil depth and improving the soil structure before laying — is essential for a lawn that establishes well and stays green through the seasons.
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.
In Cirencester’s free-draining soil, we typically add a generous layer of quality topsoil and work it into the existing ground to give turf the moisture retention and root depth it needs to establish properly — rather than sitting on thin, stony soil where it would struggle in dry spells.
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 particularly popular choice in Cirencester for gardens where the shallow, stony soil makes it difficult to maintain a natural lawn — including shaded areas under mature trees where real grass thins out every summer.

Garden Walls & Brickwork in Cirencester
Garden Walls, Raised Beds & Brickwork Features
Quality brickwork can add structure, character and long-term strength to any garden. In Cirencester, where honey-coloured Cotswold stone defines the town’s architectural character, garden walls, raised beds and boundary features need to complement the surrounding buildings — not clash with them. Whether you need a small feature wall, raised planters, decorative steps or a full boundary wall, we build everything with solid materials, proper foundations and a finish that suits the property.
We construct all types of garden walls across Cirencester, 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.
Many period properties in Cirencester feature original Cotswold stone walling — dry-stone boundaries, coped walls and stone plinths are common in the older parts of town. Where possible, we source reclaimed or matching Cotswold stone so new work blends with existing features. This is especially important for homes within the Conservation Area or National Landscape where visual consistency matters.

Definitely. Many properties in the Cirencester town centre, Watermoor and around Dollar Street have compact courtyard or walled gardens, and the Victorian terraces often have narrow rear plots.

Each driveway material has its own benefits.

We’re happy to visit, assess your space and recommend the best option for your budget and property.
Start times vary depending on the type of job and our workload, but we’ll always give you a clear expected start date when we quote.
It can, yes. Cirencester has a large Conservation Area covering much of the historic town centre, and the wider area falls within the Cotswolds National Landscape (formerly the AONB). This may affect boundary treatments, outbuildings, hard landscaping materials and even tree work. We're familiar with these requirements and can advise on what's likely to need planning permission and how to choose materials that fit the local character. If in doubt, we always recommend checking with Cotswold District Council before work begins.
This is very common in Cirencester — the shallow Cotswold brash soil is great for drainage but can be challenging for planting and lawns. We address this by adding quality topsoil, working organic matter into the ground and selecting plants suited to alkaline, free-draining conditions. With proper preparation, turf and planting establish well even on thin Cotswold soil.
Yes — many of our Cirencester clients start with a landscaping project and then keep us on for regular garden maintenance. It makes sense to have the same team look after your garden, because we already know the layout, the plants and the materials. We offer flexible visit schedules to suit your needs.
