Local Gloucester Landscaping & Gardening Experts
Gloucester's Own Landscapers & Gardeners — Based in GL1, Serving the Whole City
We’re based right here in Gloucester — our yard is in GL1, just minutes from the city centre — so when we say we’re local, we mean it. We know Gloucester inside out, from the Victorian terraces in Kingsholm and the 1930s semis in Longlevens to the modern estates in Quedgeley, Abbeydale and Kingsway. Every garden in Gloucester is different, and we tailor our approach to suit the property, the space and how you actually want to use your outdoor area.
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. For advice or a free quote anywhere in Gloucester, call 0800 656 9671, 01452 899 402 or 07593 952 715 — we can usually visit within a day or two.
Gloucester sits on the floodplain of the River Severn, which means much of the city has alluvial, clay-heavy soil that holds water and drains slowly. This directly affects lawn health, patio stability and driveway longevity — which is why proper ground preparation matters on every single job. We factor in local soil conditions, drainage slopes and the specific challenges of each area of the city, whether you’re in low-lying Hempsted, sloping Matson, or the newer developments around Brockworth and Hunts Grove.
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 recommendations across Gloucester, which says everything about how we operate. If you want a team you can rely on — one that’s genuinely local and will still be around to answer the phone next year — you’re in safe hands with us.
Landscaping Services in Gloucester
Gloucester Landscapers
Gloucester’s housing ranges from tight terraced plots in Barton and Tredworth to generous detached gardens in Barnwood, Longlevens and Hucclecote. A compact front garden on a busy road needs a very different design to a wide rear garden backing onto farmland in Brockworth or Upton St Leonards. We work with you to design landscaping that suits your property, your budget and how you actually use the space — not a one-size-fits-all plan that ignores the realities of your garden.
From patios and pathways to raised beds, new lawns, gravel areas and full border planting, we handle every element in-house. Gloucester’s clay-heavy, moisture-retaining soil means drainage and ground preparation are critical on every project. We build everything on proper foundations and sub-bases designed to cope with the local conditions — not the kind of quick-fix jobs that sink or flood after the first winter.
We also understand Gloucester’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 upgrading a tired garden in Tuffley, creating a family-friendly space in Abbeydale, or transforming a new-build plot in Kingsway or Hunts Grove, we’ll work with you to create something practical, attractive and built for the long term.

Gardening Services in Gloucester
Gloucester Gardeners - Year-Round Gardening & Maintenance
Gloucester’s mix of established gardens — from the mature hedgerows and large plots in Longlevens and Barnwood to the smaller, more compact spaces in Kingsholm and Linden — 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 Gloucester — from weekly visits to keep things tidy through the growing season, to one-off clearances for overgrown plots that have got away from their owners. Being based in GL1, we’re often on-site within minutes, which means quick response times and minimal waiting around for quotes or start dates.
The mild, wet Gloucestershire climate means hedges, borders and lawns grow fast — particularly through spring and summer. Staying on top of maintenance throughout the year prevents bigger, costlier jobs later. We offer flexible scheduling: weekly, fortnightly, monthly or seasonal visits depending on what your garden needs.

Driveways in Gloucester
Professional Driveway Installation In Gloucester
A well-installed driveway makes a real difference to how your Gloucester home looks and functions day to day. Whether you’re replacing a cracked concrete slab in Quedgeley, upgrading a tired tarmac strip in Hucclecote, or installing a brand-new driveway on a new-build in Kingsway, we install all types of driveways across Gloucester with proper excavation, a compacted sub-base and the right materials for the job. We also advise on permeable paving options to make sure your new driveway complies with current SuDS drainage regulations where needed — especially important in Gloucester’s low-lying, flood-prone areas near the Severn.
Here’s a breakdown of each driveway option so you can pick the one that suits your Gloucester 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.
Tarmac Driveways
Resin Driveways
Gravel Driveways
Imprinted Concrete Driveways

Why choose SJS Landscaping & Gardening?
Friendly, Professional Service
Clients choose us because we turn up on time, communicate clearly and treat every garden with care and respect. We’re a down-to-earth team who genuinely enjoy the work — and it shows in the finish.
Local Expertise You Can Rely On
We're based in Gloucester — not commuting in from another county — so we know the city's soil, drainage and growing conditions first-hand. Gloucester's position on the Severn floodplain means clay-heavy ground, poor natural drainage in many areas, and damp winters that test every surface and planting scheme. We build for these conditions because we live and work in them every day.
High-Quality Workmanship
Whether it’s landscaping, hedge trimming, patios or driveways, everything is completed to a high standard. We don’t rush jobs or cut corners. The aim is simple: work that looks good, lasts, and adds value to your home.
Full Range of Services Under One Roof
From gardening and fencing to decking, turfing, artificial grass, brickwork, patios and all types of driveways, you can rely on one trusted team for your entire outdoor project. No juggling multiple contractors.
Free, No-Obligation Quotes
We’re always happy to offer honest advice and clear pricing upfront. No hidden extras, no surprises — just a straightforward quote so you know exactly what to expect.
Patio & Path Installation in Gloucester
Quality Patios and Garden Paths Built to Last
A well-designed patio can transform how you use your Gloucester garden — whether it’s creating an outdoor dining area in a spacious Barnwood plot, adding a seating terrace to a sloping garden in Matson, or laying a simple pathway through a compact space in Kingsholm. We install patios and walkways across the whole of Gloucester, using solid groundwork, precise levels and materials that suit both the property style and the local ground conditions.
We work with porcelain, natural sandstone, concrete slabs and block paving — each offering a different look and price point. Gloucester’s clay soil means proper sub-base preparation and drainage falls are essential on every patio job. Without them, slabs shift, water pools and joints crack within a couple of years. We build every patio on a compacted MOT Type 1 base with the correct falls to prevent exactly these problems.
We also lift and relay sunken or uneven patios and replace cracked slabs where needed. Many older Gloucester properties — particularly in areas like Tuffley, Linden and Longlevens — have patios that were laid decades ago without proper groundwork. A full re-lay on a new sub-base often delivers a better result than patching.

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 Gloucester
High-Quality Decking Installation In Gloucester
A well-built deck can turn an underused part of your Gloucester garden into a practical, welcoming space for relaxing, dining or entertaining. Decking is particularly useful in Gloucester gardens where the ground stays damp for much of the year — a raised timber or composite platform gives you a clean, dry surface without needing to excavate and lay a full patio. We work across the whole city 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 Gloucester homes.

Fencing Services in Gloucester
Fencing Installations in Gloucester
Good fencing plays a big role in privacy, security and the overall appearance of your garden. Across Gloucester, we regularly replace storm-damaged panels, rotten posts and ageing fencing that’s past its best — as well as installing brand-new fencing for new builds, extensions and garden renovations. We use strong concrete or timber posts set in concrete, durable panels or feather-edge boards, and tidy workmanship that keeps everything straight, solid and built to withstand Gloucester’s wet, windy winters.
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 the options and help you choose something that fits your property. For homes near the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal or the Severn, where ground can be softer and wetter, we take extra care with post depth and foundation stability.
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 Gloucester
Professional Turfing & Artificial Grass Installation in Gloucester
A healthy, tidy lawn brings colour and life to any Gloucester garden — but getting it right depends on proper preparation, especially on the clay-heavy, moisture-retaining ground found across much of the city. Whether you want a natural lawn that you can enjoy mowing and maintaining, or a low-maintenance artificial alternative that stays green all year, we offer both turfing and artificial grass installations across Gloucester, starting with the groundwork that makes the difference between a lawn that thrives and one that turns to mud by November.
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. In Gloucester, we regularly find that the existing topsoil needs improving with added organic matter or sharp sand before turfing — particularly in low-lying areas like Hempsted, Podsmead and Quedgeley where clay soil retains too much moisture for grass to root properly. Getting this preparation right at the start is what gives you a lawn that establishes quickly and stays green through the seasons.
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 Gloucester
Garden Walls, Raised Beds & Brickwork Features
Quality brickwork adds structure, character and long-term strength to any garden. In Gloucester, brickwork is everywhere — from the Victorian boundary walls in Kingsholm and Wotton to the rendered block walls on newer estates in Abbeydale and Kingsway. We build all types of garden walls, raised beds and brick features across the city, using materials and methods that suit each property. For older Gloucester homes, we can source matching bricks — including reclaimed stock — so new work blends in with the original character rather than standing out as an obvious addition.
We construct all types of garden walls across Gloucester, 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.

If you need garden walls, raised beds or brickwork built properly and built to last, we’d be glad to take a look and provide a free quote. Contact us on 0800 656 9671, 01452 899 402 or 07593 952 715.

We cover the whole of Gloucester — including Quedgeley, Longlevens, Hucclecote, Barnwood, Abbeydale, Abbeymead, Tuffley, Kingsholm, Linden, Brockworth, Matson, Churchdown, Innsworth, Kingsway, Podsmead and Elmbridge — as well as surrounding villages and the wider Gloucestershire area.

Absolutely. Whether it’s decking, driveways, fencing, turf or garden walls, we’ll advise on the best options based on your garden, lifestyle and budget.

We do. From redesigns and ground preparation to patios, lawns, decking and planting, we can take care of the entire project.
Yes - all work is fully insured.
Definitely. Many Gloucester properties — particularly the Victorian terraces in Kingsholm and the tight-knit streets in Barton and Tredworth — have compact or narrow gardens. We're experienced in creating smart, practical layouts in smaller spaces, making the most of every square metre with clever combinations of paving, planting, fencing and raised beds.
Yes - we install porcelain, sandstone, concrete, block paving and mixed-material patios. Every patio is laid on solid groundwork with proper levels and drainage so it stays strong and even for years.
Each driveway material has its own benefits. Block paving is decorative, tarmac is durable and affordable, gravel is great for drainage, resin offers a premium modern finish, and imprinted concrete gives the look of stone without the cost. 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.
Yes — we're based in GL1, right in the heart of Gloucester. We're not a company based elsewhere that covers Gloucester as part of a wider area. Being local means we can usually visit your property within a day or two and we know the city's soil, drainage and ground conditions first-hand.
Yes — much of Gloucester sits on clay-heavy, alluvial soil near the River Severn, which retains water and drains slowly. This affects lawn health, patio stability and driveway longevity. We factor soil conditions into every job, whether that means adding drainage, improving topsoil before turfing, or using deeper sub-bases for patios and driveways. Proper ground preparation is what separates work that lasts from work that sinks or floods after heavy rain.
Absolutely — and that's one of the main advantages of working with us. Rather than hiring a separate landscaper, fencer, driveway installer and gardener, we handle everything under one roof. A typical Gloucester garden project might include new fencing, a patio, turfing and raised beds all completed by the same team, saving you time, money and the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors.
