50+ Years of Landscape design from Graduate Gardeners
For over 50 years, we have designed and built award winning gardens throughout Gloucestershire and the surrounding counties, and our garden landscaping projects include front and rear gardens in local towns such as Cheltenham, Cirencester and Bristol, along with large village and country gardens throughout the Cotswolds and beyond.
Our garden designers work on projects ranging from a few thousand pounds to well over a million – with everything in-between. They will project manage your garden construction from start to finish, and our own garden construction team of skilled workers will complete your project on-time and on-budget.

You’ll find us friendly and approachable whatever size your budget.
Since 1974, many well known Garden Designers and Landscape Architects have commissioned Graduate Gardeners to build their landscape and garden designs. We have developed these relationships and due to the consistent quality of our work, and the size of job that we can cope with, many use us as their default landscaper in the Cotswolds although we provide landscape design throughout Gloucestershire and beyond.
One of our highly experienced contract managers will take on your project and will be your single point of contact throughout. They will be able to quote against your bill of quantities, or help you draw one up, if necessary, and discuss contruction methods and materials selection in order to find the optimum method to deliver your project, in the timescale and to the very high standard that you would expect.
All our landscapers are directly employed, working in six or seven teams, depending on the size of jobs running at the time, each headed by a foreman. All our foremen have experience of building Show Gardens, most at Chelsea, with the exacting standards that are involved, and they are all qualified and experienced in all aspects of landscape construction. We run a separate Soft Landscaping team for specialist Softworks projects.
We have, in house, lighting and irrigation specialists, and will design and install systems as required.
We generally use our own equipment, we have five excavators from 1 – 3 tons and we have the full Blec system, Blecavator, Rotor Rake and Seeder, for preparing and seeding large areas.
Although, potentially a stressful time for the client, we aim to minimise disruption and make the construction phase a pleasurable experience that every customer will recommend to others. Our staff will at all times be professional, wearing Company uniform and driving Vehicles displaying the Company livery.
All works will be billed fortnightly, or monthly for larger projects, with a full spreadsheet detailing works completed or the percentage of completion, so both you and the client will always be fully aware of the progress on the project.
